Well, Bellhorn's been DFA'd. I'd be more upset, but a) the Tigers are taking care of the disturbing drama department, thanks, and b) I pretty much saw this coming a mile away. With Graff tearing it up and Bellhorn continuing his mediocre year rehabbing in Pawtucket, how else could that have gone?

Couple weeks ago, I spent a weekend with manderspander that was marred in its loveliness only by the Tigers' Awful, Horrible, No-Good, Very Bad Trade Deadline. One of the items on my list of ways to recuperate from said misery:

* Hurry to the mall bathroom to change into your shiny new Bellhorn shirt whilst assuring yourself that this certainly does not mean he will be put on waivers two weeks from now.

The shirt was purchased on August first. I was wrong about the waivers, but I nailed the time period almost to the day.

Oh, I'll still wear the shirt, just like I still wear my Wells #3 shirt. I just won't be happy that exactly fifty percent of my player shirts are now obsolete. Also, I am not allowed to buy any more player shirts until next April. All the ones procured since the end of last season (I also got a Schilling one for Christmas) have not worked out so well.

Please don't hold this against me but right now I really hate your team.

*pets* That's okay. Sometimes I hate my teams too.

I'm never rooting for any individual ballplayer again. I think some god hates it when I do it and decides to make the player's life hell just because I like them.

I'm a jinx.

I hate baseball.

*hugs* Aw, hon, I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were that upset.

Yeah, I'd say I can identify with losing a beloved player. *clings to icon* But at least the Farns wasn't dumped like that. I hope Mark gets picked up.

LOL, you can see my ultra-depressed rant I did in Full Serious Mode for more on the subject. :-P

I should be grateful that your team allowed him to fulfill his dreams to the fullest and win a WS ring. And I am. But then there's, what does he do now? Who's gonna take him? How's he going to be happy without the game?

:-(

I hate this. I care too much.

And yeah, I feel you about Kyle...:-( I was quite shocked when Detroit traded him. I thought it was nuts.

This has absolutely nothing to do with your post but since you're away and all, the Tigers are winning 7-1.

Pena's 2 for 2, Shelty crushed a 2 run homer and Pudge hit a solo shot.

Yay!

But aww, sorry bout Bellhorn

Some idiot bought you a Schilling shirt as a gift? Some friend! That's like wrapping up crap and slapping a bow on it. Crap that you thought you loved but makes you cringe when it starts that walk from the bullpen. Who the hell would do tha...Oh, wait. Heh. -Looks around.- Sorry 'bout that.

Well I bought Trotter, Bronson, and Schill and look how well that's going for me...You and I are banned from all BoSox apparell. We should invest in A-Rod jerseys...No, that can't even be said as a joke. Bad Manda.

In a nutshell, sorry about Mark. Now where will the Sox get their pot?

I maintain that the t-shirt of any member of The 25 can never be obsolete.

It helps me sleep at night.
