The trade deadline is over now, and by now, everyone pretty much knows everyone who was traded to whomever, and it's safe to say that the Atlanta Braves made the biggest impact move of the season by acquiring Mark Teixeira for five players, including Jarrod Saltalamacchia. Screw Eric Gagné and the Red Sox, he is overrated and injury prone, and hopefully he will not injure himself throwing fastballs at a trash bag again. Optimism returns to this travel-weary baseball fan.
As a Braves fan, the most important trade of the season occured two months ago, when Atlanta shipped off the worthless Macay McBBride away. It didn't matter that we got the less-worthless Wilfredo Ledezma in return, because we shipped his less-worthless ass off away yesterday regardless, the fact of the matter is that Macay McBBride was and now still is someone else's problem.
If anyone thinks Detroit's going all the way, better look no further than that gaping left-handed hole in the bullpen. The inferior league is going to be represented by Anaheim, folks.
