I would rather have had Danny be a Yankee.

THAT IS HOW MUCH I HATE THIS.

I really am not looking forward to facing Haren.

Pretty much.

Like right now, I can spend the majority of the season pretending Swisher is in the NL or something. It’s hard to do when Haren is PUMMELING OUR FACE.

I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal

Vince just said Haren traded to the Angels.

Anyone heard anything about that?
