nevermind- we already have the phillies. Duh.
I assumed that with all the teams he’s been with the one I’d find wouldn’t be represented.

I think we’ll all look back to this at the end of the season as an obvious turning point for the 2008 Tribe

I honestly thought it was a joke, a well-done one at that, and I had to check the CastroTurf page on my own to believe it. If we can only get Adam Lind from the Blue Jays, the game threads will be amazing for the rest of the year.

I wish Toronto needed pitching. McGowan, Lind, and change for Sabathia.

I’m not sure its safe for anyone to hear what Freud’s interpretation of dreaming about Sal Fasano and that wonderful mustache would be

Sorry, had to change the title – wouldn’t want all those guys googling to be disappointed.

I am not happy, we didn’t even know what we Haad!
Sorry.
It's the Arizona talking, really.

I have always admired Sal. He knows how to handle the stick. I was watching a few years ago when some guy tried to slip him a nasty backdoor slider – - he turned on it and stroked it right through the hole.

Sal Fasano’s “rec finger” never hurts. That’s what makes him a professional.

If the PTBNL ends up being Jeff Stevens, we would have in essence traded Brandon Phillips for Sal Fasano. And I think there’s no question we win that trade.

I cannot believe that this is actually true. It’s not April 1st. This is Bizzaro year with Bizzaro Tribe. How did I get into this dimension? More importantly, how do I get out? Is this a distraction to hide some slight of hand? The stache and beard distraction. That old trick, right? I feel like Homer when he had his first McRibwich. My brain will never be the same..

I love the legend of Fasano as much as anyone else here, but this is kind of pathetic, really.

After reading this, I almost feel guilty at poking fun at old Sal, but…
He’s born-again and wants to study paleontology after baseball.

I’m super-pathetic! My post was in response to the trade, not the commentary here at LGT.

I wonder if he’ll end up in one of APV’s classes.

Mustache rides normally run 10¢, but I’ll bet Sal could get a quarter.
