GMs on Crack

Crappy Timo is BACK! Let's see...he's a veteran AND a gamer! (Two for the price of one!) Also nice to see the Pirates still acting as the Cubs' AAA farm team. Why on Earth would they want the HORRORible Izzy?

Tigers purchased the contract of outfielder Timo Perez from Triple-A Toledo.

Pirates acquired infielder Cesar Izturis and cash considerations from the Cubs for a player to be named. (Unless that player is deceased, not an upgrade...)

You know, even if the player was deceased, I think I'd chance him...

Over Izzzzzy anyway...I mean, you have to feed Izzy, and take him on the plane - the corpse you could just leave places and forget about.

You could take your money back and he wouldn't complain. And you wouldn't be deluded into choosing to take the corpse over Matt Kemp or James Loney, as supposedly the Cubs did when they took him for Maddux.

If that's true, by the way, and not an urban legend that popped up right before the trade was made, I want to throw monkey feces at Jim Hendry.

As much as I hate Hendry and Coletti and as much as I love Maddux I think that's an urban legend. I don't think anyone would offer a top prospect for a 40 year old pitcher no matter how great he once was.
