What's The Big Deal?
Here's the big deal:
The Philadelphia Cheesesteaks today agreed to a multi-player deal with the Park Avenue Money after days of intense negotiations. In the deal, the Steaks receive Mike Mussina, Bartolo Colon, Mariano Rivera and Alex Rodriguez in exchange for Ervin Santana, Chien-ming Wang, Alexis Rios and Nick Swisher.
In a rare CARP deal that involves nothing but major league talent, the Steaks have attempted to shore up their pitching staff, while also acquiring the best hitter in the American League in ARod. The Steaks have finally acquired their much needed second closer in Rivera and have
great hopes that Mussina will continue to pitch as effectively as he has so far this season. The big question mark is Colon, who if healthy will provide a great addition to the top of the Steaks rotation.
In return, the Money have acquired four building blocks for the franchise. Ervin Santana is an emerging ace, who has pitched very effectively this year, while Wang has been great in his last couple of starts. Rios and Swisher are both coming into their own as power sources in the OF and will be very productive for years to come. Steaks management is very grateful for the contributions of Santana, Wang, Rios and Swisher, but we believe that the additions we have made will enable the Cheesesteaks to make a successful run to our first CARP Championship.

Brew Crew Makes Their Move
May 9, 2006 -- Philadelphia, PA. The Cap City Brewers, CARP champions in 96, 97, 99 and 04 have made a trade in attempt to restore glory to the franchise and its fans after suffering through a pathetic 7th place finish in 05.
In a hastily arranged press conference on the site of the now demolished Vet stadium, GM Pierre LaTour announced that the young future nucleus of the Brewers had been traded in an effort to "win now".
In a 9 player deal, the Brewers have sent Brandon Wood, Nick Markakis, Camron Maybin, John Buck and Anikori Otsuka to the Beltway Buckos in exchange for Curt Schilling, Vlad Guerrero, Jorge Posada and Y$$#@# Bentacourt.
"We needed help on both sides, offense and pitching", LaTour said. Even with the injuries to Harden, A.J. and Sheff we still felt this race is wide open once we get those guys back. We're sorry that Brandon and Nick won't be around, but we were happy to unload Buck, he sucks."
LaTour had no comment on rumors that Sheffield would be placed on the DL or that super prospect Delmon Young might be banned for the remainder of the year after an umpire's chest collided with his bat in an April 26th contest.
