Buckos Up The Ante

Late Friday, the Beltway Buckos sent error prone minor league prospect BJ Upton, Gerald Laird, Aaron Hill, and Kevin Brown to the Capitol City Brewers for Ivan Rodriguez, Jose Contreras, Shea Hillenbrand, and Juan Rincon.

Bees Reacquire Garrett Anderson

Today the Baltimore Bees reacquired Garrett Anderson as part of trade with the Warthogs in which the Bees also acquiree Jason Kendall and Luis Rivas for Javy Lopez, Shannon Stewart and John Danks. "I love Garrett Anderson. As good as Stewart has been, Anderson is an MVP. We couldn't wait for Javy to get healthy. Kendall is a .300 hitter and we're looking for some big #s from him. Rivas is good insurance now that Womack doesn't have a job. I hope this doesn’t set the Contenders back another 2 months."

Creepers Add Second Closer, Again

Reconstructive Elbow Surgery is never good. However, Octavio Dotel's "Tommy John'' surgery was so successful, the reliever said, that renowned arm specialist Dr. James Andrews told him that he probably will be able to pitch in the majors on Opening Day 2006, easily six to 12 months sooner than projected. That's far too long for the Cup Crazy Creepers. And thus the Creepers were forced to send Ace pitcher Jon Garland to Money for Ace bandage Troy percival. GM Griffiths reflects "I feel like a retarded child who won't stop touching the orange stove burner"

Congrats To The Bees

The Pirates wish to congratulate the Bees for taking over the lead in the race to the cup. But it will be shortlived. The Pirates and Hogs have reached a deal swapping super studs

Ortizzle and Adam Miller for Manny Ramirez and Bartolo Colon.
