Red Sox Make A Good Trade

The trade deadline is never a fun time in the Red Sox season; we usually end up picking up some aging veteran or get called "the team that didn't make any moves to help them" by all the analysts, but this year we picked up Eric Gagne, arguably one of the best closers in Major League Baseball the last several years. You may recall that we already have Jonathon Papelbon, the best young closer in baseball, and Hideki Okajima, the most surprising shutdown set-up man of the year. Put these three together and the other team basically has six or seven innnings to score. Our starter makes it out of the fifth with the lead and things start to look awfully dark for the other guys.

I realize this means little to many of you, but for those that might care and are a little busy today to watch SportsCenter (read: Josh), I figured I would be a great bit of news.
