Breaking News: Adam Dunn to the DBags

Written by RomanWarHelmet

Well, the big Donkey has been moved. According to ESPN, Adam Dunn has been traded to the Diamondbacks for three prospects, one of which is Dallas Burk, a pitcher. Nick P was inconsolable. He wanted to know where the breeze was going to come from in Cincinnati now that Dunn’s big swings won’t be offering some summer relief to Red fans. I told him only an omnipotent power can make the air move. Anyway, Hef is happy, he gets a big bat in the middle of the lineup to help the DBag’s anemic offense. I am assuming the Mark Reynolds abortion is over at third and Conor Jackson moves back to first and Chad Tracy goes to third. I am sure when Nick stops crying he and Hef can break this deal down. Keep checking back with MLJ for more details as they come in.

Share and Enjoy:

Nice pick up. Just under the MLB trade deadline too. Did they waive him first to get this done?
romanwarhelmet on August 11th, 2008 3:15 pm

nug..they got this deal done at the 84th hours so he cleared waivers..no one wanted him..which makes me laugh but I don’t understand

maybe at this point, the after game spread costs more with this guy on your team and some teams aren’t willing to spend that money.

Bad day to be a Cincinnati resident who gets his or her electricity from a wind turbine.

The only thing I understand less than baseball trades are NFL trades. In the NFL you can trade a hall of famer in his prime for an 8th round pick.
romanwarhelmet on August 11th, 2008 3:30 pm

Nug..there is no 8th round…but if there was it would be valuable as shit
sparty on August 11th, 2008 3:34 pm

RWH- Jessie Armstead was an 8th round pick.
stigs on August 11th, 2008 3:35 pm

there used to be like 10-12 rounds. one of you old guys probably knows.
Intern CRM on August 11th, 2008 3:37 pm

Nug is obviously thinking of Brett Favre and the 8th week of the season which should be around the time the Jets have been mathematically eliminated from the playoffs.
romanwarhelmet on August 11th, 2008 3:46 pm

sparty…please…please..Like i needed you to correct me?..there is NO LONGER an 8th round pick hasn’t been one for 10 years…like I forgot where the heart and soul of the Giant D was picked…how dare ye correct my correcting someone…for shame
sparty on August 11th, 2008 3:49 pm

just could not let Armstead be referred to as shit.
romanwarhelmet on August 11th, 2008 3:50 pm

I was using shit in the awesome sense…Like that is the shit! not in the negative sense…like…It is a bunch of shit…sorry for the miscommunication

The Dbacks are going for the Strikeout record!

cortes01 on August 11th, 2008 4:34 pm

ask mikey how many rounds there were back in 1920… by the way, the mets bullpen is currently doing what they do best.. tied at 5 in the ninth
RexKramerDangerSeeker on August 11th, 2008 4:40 pm

i’m now playing my at-home version of handball while watching last year’s tOSU/michigan game on classic.

#7 in the nation going into that last regular season game. still can’t believe how it played out.
cortes01 on August 11th, 2008 4:44 pm

i laugh in mockery of that piece of turd known as your bullpen
RexKramerDangerSeeker on August 11th, 2008 4:45 pm

clown on August 11th, 2008 4:53 pm

Tatis with a glorious, heavenly DP to end the game.
clown on August 11th, 2008 4:53 pm

Damn you and your satellite, cortes.
WhoDey on August 11th, 2008 4:54 pm

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK
romanwarhelmet on August 11th, 2008 5:05 pm

God isn’t perfect cortes…if he was we wouldn’t have children die.

Tatis grounding into game ending double play = Kid drowning in pool

cortes01 on August 11th, 2008 5:12 pm

tatis’s career HR numbers..

8,3,8,34,18,2,15,2,2,9

hmm….

and

luis gonzalez > tatis

//career doubles leader amongst active players…

benji you listening to the show.. what say you, weird to eat at the mall by yourself?
fetch on August 11th, 2008 5:17 pm

you silly guys and your caring about baseball during the next 16 days. there’s only one baseball team worth caring about now.
stigs on August 11th, 2008 5:19 pm

@cortes: fake bill cosby sinese was hilarious. i say its weird to drive there by yourself to just eat. but if you’re already in the mall, eating by yourself is not weird. and going to the mall just to eat with 1 or more other people is also not weird. esp. if people can’t decide on one place to eat. it’s perfect for everyone.
cortes01 on August 11th, 2008 5:21 pm

yeah i agree with you… only weird to do what hoch did… driving there for the sole purpose of eating mall chinese food.. lol
cortes01 on August 11th, 2008 5:22 pm

oh and

fake hispanic sinese >> cosby sinese

barely
stigs on August 11th, 2008 5:30 pm

hoch has given you a lot of material to ask him about today.
cortes01 on August 11th, 2008 5:33 pm

i had already sent him the questions.. but don’t worry there’s good stuff in there other than eating by himself at the mall.. not much i could add to that.. lebby has beaten it to death today
romanwarhelmet on August 11th, 2008 6:11 pm

cortes…so A) you question Tatis’s HR totals and make me think about steroids…HE WAS ON THE MITCHELL REPORT..no shit and then b) you compare him to Luis Gonzalez…why not lay his HR totals out there for us to HMMMMM
Hef on August 11th, 2008 6:19 pm

Hey, Luis Gonzales never had any sudden spikes in HR output. Especially not in 2001. Don’t look at 2001.

“Nug is obviously thinking of Brett Favre and the 8th week of the season which should be around the time the Jets have been mathematically eliminated from the playoffs.”

Eight is also the number of Vicodins Favre takes before halftime.
