Cubs Trade for Aaron Heilman

Earlier today, the Cubs traded Ronny Cedeno and Garrett Olson to Seattle for Aaron Heilman. It's not a bad trade for Chicago, as Heilman could bounce back to his 2005-2007 form. This also helps confirm the Cubs won't be getting Jake Peavy (good news for me), as most of the pieces the Cubs were rumored to be giving up are gone (Cedeno, Pie) and the Cubs have one of the worst farm systems in baseball.

The Mariners Are Going All The Way Baby!!!!

Monumental breaking news in the baseball world today. The Seattle Mariners have acquired....


WAIT FOR IT!!!!!












DAVID AARDSMA!!!

The 28 year-old righty reliever has a sterling 5.29 in 128 career appearances with the Giants, Cubs, White Sox, and Red Sox.

As many fans of Chicago know, Aardsma has often been labeled as the destroyer of playoff dreams and the slayer of puppy dogs. Therefore, I suggest you prepare for Don Wakamatsu having a brain aneurysm during a seventh inning meltdown.

The Red Sox acquired 20 year-old Fabian Williamson who is 10-5 with a 3.55 ERA and 144 strikeouts in two minor league seasons. Actually, that causes me to feel no pity for you.
