Okay, I just want to make sure I understand this post, since I’m a little confused.

1. The D-Backs basically giving away a guy they had no intention of playing and had totally given up on somehow helps the Cubs in the event that the Cubs and D-Backs meet again in the playoffs this year (a scenario that look likely).

2. The D-Backs acquiring a guy who historically kills the Cubs somehow benefits the Cubs despite the fact that they’re probably going to end up playing in the playoffs again this year. So this completely contradicts the first point.

3. What?

I don’t know, Arizona’s pretty bad on Brandon Webb’s days off. Quentin’s good, but it’s not like he’s capable of lifting a shaky team out of the middle of a weak divis…oh, wait.

The Reds have invested heavily in being a bad baseball team, Kenny only helped a little bit. Facilitation, I’d call it.

No matter what, having two teams in first place in August here in Chicago is pretty cool. It’s helping Bears fans cope, too.

Griffey too guys! I know he’s over the hill but come on, Ken Frickin Griffey Jr. is on the Sux now. That deserves a thank you too.

Thanks for prolonging what could be a bad situation if we face the dbacks…lets hope not though…and I think that you thanked him enough for everyone.

The really interesting thing is that Quintin almost didn’t make the Sox’s 25 man roster at the beginning of the season.

Now the Dunn issue is an interesting one. It is good that he is no longer on the Reds to hurt the Cubs this week… BUT… there is a very good change that the Cubs will be opening up the playoffs against the Diamondbacks…

Should thank Kenny for giving you Cotts as well.

No Adam Dunn in Reds lineup for 6 games = 6 less homers against Cubs

Yup. It was Carter for Quentin. There’s a Heath Bell with the Pads, but he’s 31 and good and they got him from the Rays.
