Star-divide

Unbelievable that this couldn't have happened a little earlier since we would probably be staring at another win, thereby allowing Street to have more confidence and, in turn, allow us to win last night's game too.  I honestly thought Nevin was becoming the Angels' version of Finley this year until he hit that dinger off Street.  I would say this trade could benefit the A's because it takes away another POWER hitter in a ballpark that even JASON KENDALL could hit a homer in!!  <as of now officially becomes passe' to ride JK about homers>

good deal
For the Cubs. I guess the Rangers are pretty
high on Botts. I dont see how adding Hairston
gives them any value as they had DeRosa in the
utility role. Apart from maybe some payroll flexibility, maybe.

Yup. Despite his performance against us...
Nevin is useless.  Cub futility will continue.

In most cases, but...
Scutaro isn't making $2.3M.  It's unbelievable.
