i personally think it was a good trade, betemit is a good player, but we need pitching bad, and i think baez will help out a lot. opinions??

eh, Betemit was a very good player to have pinch hit and stuff and was showin' some skill at fielding... yesterday they had Tony Pena Jr. pinch hit and all I could say was... who the fuck is that? lmao. but ya.. we need pitchers so i guess we had to do it.

LOLOL @ Tony Pena Jr!!!!

We need a damn good pitching coach. I had a feeling some bull like this would happened if we lost Leo Mazzone. Betemit is going to be a future superstar and they traded him.... ehh..... They did the same thing w/ Jermaine Dye. Well.... lets hope these new pitchers do something worth a damn.

Well... Baez and Aybar both did a good job in the loss tonight... Baez had a good inning and Aybar was 4 for 6 i believe... not a bad showing. just sucks that we got friggin' swept.
