I haven't really lamented the loss of DeRosa until Ramirez went down last night. Cleveland is pretty bad though, perhaps they'd like to trade back?

It's astounding how no amount of evidence will convince some people.
The Chicago papers should have just printed this headline:

No, it's amazing that some people are incapable of doing simple math. The fact that the trade had to be league approved because of the amount of $$$ sent to the Cubs by the O's should show that the Cubs aren't working with an unlimited budget.
Also, why would you admit to a blunder when it wasn't a blunder? Money aside, there's 2 other reasons DeRosa was traded: to get Fontenot more PT and to get more left handed.
