Baseball
First of all, a flurry of trades have happened during this past week. The most recent trade is being the most recent one - Pudge Rodriguez to the New York Yankees. Me as a Tigers fan, I absolutely hate the deal.
It was about 4:15 on this afternoon (Wednesday), I was at work, serving Happy Meals and cheeseburgers at McDonald's and then my friend called me - "Pudge has been traded to New York." I thought he was joking. About two minutes later, he called again and said that all we got in the trade was relief pitcher Kyle Farnswarth. At first, I thought it was a pretty lousy move. But then I realized that Farnswarth had a sub-4.00 ERA, knock down the Ty Cobb statue, we got a pitcher who has an ERA under 4.00 in Detroit! Kidding . . . but it is something new for the Tigers this year.
