Slow Tuesday

Nothing much going on in the baseball world today leading up to Game 5 tonight.

However, did anyone catch the Monday Night Football game? How incredible was that comeback without an offensive touchdown. I feel bad for Leinart already, it's not exactly how you want to begin your career. He played well but Arizona is just snake bitten...

The Ricciardi project is coming along great and a preview will be posted SHORTLY. I have a job interview Thursday I need to get ready for but aside from that...

Look at this transaction from a few years back, very appropriate since Bonderman will take the hill in the World Series...
In a three-way deal; the Oakland Athletics traded Carlos Pena, Franklyn German and a player to be named later (Jeremy Bonderman) to the Detroit Tigers, the Tigers traded Jeff Weaver to the New York Yankees, the Yankees traded Ted Lilly, Jason Arnold and John-Ford Griffin to the Athletics.

All three of the players the Athletics received in this trade became Blue Jays later on. Do you think Ricciardi had something to do with this three-way deal while he was in Oakland?
