Report: Sabathia heading to Milwaukee

[suburbia]

I figured this deserved its own thread. Not exactly surprising news, I know. But news nonetheless:

So, in an NL-only roto auction lea....

Hell, nevermind.

FACE, Angels!

Does this mean Bubbler will quit posting pictures of Frank Stallone?

With Sabathia in the fold, I think the Frank pictures will be appearing more frequently.

You mean the divine right of Steinbrenners isn't in effect?

 

[Gutter]

Apparently in addition to LaPorta, LHP Zach Jackson, RHP Rob Bryson and a player to be named later headed to the Indians.

No Taylor Green? Loving this trade even more.

My favorite quote from the story:

Sabathia is 6-8 with a 3.83 ERA this season, but is 6-5 with a 2.16 mark since April 22. As the AL’s top pitcher in 2007, the hefty went 19-7 with a 3.21 ERA while pitching a league-high 241 innings.

So much for spell check.

Player to be named could end up being Taylor Green.

Well, he is kinda hefty.

Or too.

I believe the Brewers also got a couple of mid-level prospects in addition to Sabathia.

Sean Marshall is taller than CC Sabathia.

The Steinbrenners passed because Sabathia sucks.

As a pathetic tribe fanboi looser, another dark chapter has been written.

Eff...

Yeah, his ERA is a little over 2 for his last 14 starts. (2.16 to be exact.)

If anything, this means I'll hopefully be posting more pictures of Frank Stallone. As it stands, Frank Stallone already wiped out the NL Wild Card deficit. :)

I haven't been this geeked up about a trade since ... ever?

The only in-season trade in Brewers history that comes close is getting Don Sutton in '82, but that was far later in the season.

To borrow a line from Hoosiers, this deal is for the small-market teams who never get the chance.
