The Trade Deadline

..is over. And we got Gagne for Gabbard. And Murphy. And Beltre. I guess they really wanted him!

I didn't pay too much attention to the trade talk, mostly because I thought we had such a great team already we wouldn't be interested in anyone. However, when I arrived home at 1:30 and ESPN was crazy with the Gagne talk (and of course, Teixeira), I figured something was up! And as 4:00 neared, the news became final, and Gabbard was no more.

(Hold up -- David Ortiz just hit his 2nd HR of the night! That's our man.)

So...I know Gagne will help the team, and we can never have too many GOOD pitchers (or else we'll trade them all away and last year will happen again...still mad about Bronson?!). But I liked Kason! And Murphy was gonna be so good...ahh, well. I guess when your 3 favorite players get traded away, nothing will bother you too much anymore!
