— Dylan Hernandez (@dylanohernandez) August 25, 2012#Dodgers trade with the#Red Sox is official.
Looks like the Dodgers' long-term "crush the spirit of our fan base for a few years, then watch the chaos that unfolds when we start spending money like it's going out of style" strategy has finally started to pay dividends.
We have only to look across the table to our trade partner to see a cautionary tale of the happen when one opens one's wallet without regard for the consequences. I have concern for the immense amount of risk in play, but that statement can be applied to every day of my baseball fan life up until this one, as well. As far as I'm concerned, every big name trade or free agent acquisition has a mini-Dreifort inside of him, struggling to get out.
On the other hand (and hear me out, here), FUCK THAT. We could all be hit by a bus tomorrow. Probably not the SAME bus, because how crazy would that be? Different buses, but I digress. I confess that I haven't the faintest idea what is going on, but the today's roster is better than yesterday's. If it all goes straight to hell tomorrow or next Tuesday or three years from now, I'll have plenty of time to be pissed off THEN.

I'm still in shock, and it never felt so good. Go blue!
Word is that the new players are on a plane to LA right now, and that A Gon will be in the starting lineup tonight.

(changes occupation to bus driver)
By the way, is it done? Source?

It is done. LA Times has story up. There's no doubt.

I got it from Dylan H. Couldn't update my post from the road.

I hope the Dodgers own the bus that hits me. Cha Ching!!
A Gon just Tweeted:
"Listo para empezar mi carrera con Los Dodgers. Emocionado por regresar a California con mi gente!"
Meaning something like"
Ready to start my career with the Dodgers. Excited to return to California with my people!
I thought it said "why is Uribe here?"
Nicely played, Paul!
I think its "Happy to return to California with my genitals"
...and who wouldn't be?
I picture Uribe as Milton from Office Space just muttering to himself somewhere in the deep hallows of Dodger Stadium.
He should be genitals are a delicacy in Boston.
