Well, apparently Travis and I just couldn't wait until the playoffs ended and the trading season officially opened- we had to go ahead and get our first deal done.
Springfield sends Tom Gordon, Kenny Lofton and a fifth round pick to HAR for Russ Ortiz, Gil Meche and 50 K.
If at least one of Ortiz and Meche don't get their act together and have a good season in 2006 I am going to feel very stupid. Of course, some say I should feel that way all the time.
By the way- I hope you've all been to the theater to see SERENITY. Though based on the box office returns you probably haven't...
