(although, guess what? Many Chicago Cub fans are exactly that, and for good reason. Still...)

I can see why some of you would like to forget about Jim's off-season boner. I would too. If DeRosa was quietly having a decent season for the Indians instead of blasting homers for our arch-rivals, I suppose the blunder would be easier to take.

It's kind of unrealistic for people to expect the DeRo talk to cease, however. How long did Red Sox fans talk about the scuttling of Babe Ruth? My dad talked about Lou Brock for <i>decades</i>. As Annie Savoy says in Bull Durham, "...and who can forget about Milt Pappas for Frank Robinson, for God's sake?"
A bad trade never goes away.

But at least for me, I'll try to shut up about it for now.
I'd be remiss, however, to not applaud Butch's recent outstanding post.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Babe Ruth?? Lou Brock?? Ok, we've gone completely nuts now. I don't care about the trade anymore.
