Rangers Trade Guardado to Twins for Hamburger

Seriously, Everyday Eddie traded for 21-year-old righthander Mark Hamburger. In the words of Dave Barry, "I am not making this up."

Andy Marte is free at last! Now, if only he could hit a breaking ball...

His trademark, “rabble rabble” is as fresh as ever.

The ultimate “insignificant prospect”?

Apparently the Twins FO didn’t get the feed for the past two games. Eddie was our MVP.

My dream of one day starting an “all-silly names” fantasy team just for the hell of it has just come one step closer to reality.

You mean like this

Best line in the article:
“We are upset because we lost twice — firstly because we lost a good player and secondly because we lost our team’s food for a whole week.”

“What’s all the fuss about? All I did was trade hamburger for steak.”

Well, one of us has to do it:

4.17 ERA? Sounds like he throws a lot of meatballs. BOOM.

Good day.

WE should acquire Hamburger — he can really grind.

Just so long as we didn’t acquire him from Kroger between May 1 and June 30th of this year. Or at Whole Foods at the beginning of August. I hear we’d have to give him back if that was the case.

LGT is, in and of itself, very SWPL

After taking a good look at that site today, I’m not so sure about that. If something about the SB network were featured on that site—or about community oriented sports blogging in general—I’m not sure many white people would find it funny.

Besides, white people like the Red Sox.

Being auto-self-critical is SWPL, I guess.
