I thought you're supposed to kill the other's guy's children to establish dominance. Poor Holliday.
Pretty sure it has to involve Albert violating Holliday's wife.
Yeah. Albert will ride in an elevator with Mrs. Holliday.
Mark Grudzielanek agrees

Holliday makes our lineup too right handed.
Sadly, I'm 95% sure that Kasko was being completely serious.

Brett Wallace, Chris Perez, Chris Duncan, Clay Mortenson, Shane Peterson and a PTBNL for Mark DeRosa, Julio Lugo, and Matt Holliday.

I think we should be happy.

Welcome, dexter.

Are you named after the serial killer on Showtime, the town in southeast MO, or something else?

He is. He is as ready as he'll ever be, and he is ready to be a bad major league pitcher right now.

Heh...

it's like when people talk about Aaron Miles' versatility. He can suck at a lot of positions on a baseball field.

Joe Sheehan is less than impressed:
Holliday trade is worth doing given roster, team age, contracts, but upgrade is small: less than two wins down the stretch.

I am ecstatic that we have Holliday for the next 8 weeks. I will be furious if we don't have him for the next 3 years.


I wonder if TLR will platoon him with Ankiel?

I wonder how much playing time this will cost Rasmus if the above doesn't happen? Rickey has to play !!!
