I have mixed feelings on Josh Byrnes - he certainly made his share of completely retarded moves, but he's now available and at least one pundit says someone should scoop him up.  

Didn't Arizona start the season with no lefthanders in its bullpen? He may have been the only guy in the league with less of an idea how to build a relief staff than Hendry.

Yes, the mark of a good bullpen is always whether the ratio of righties to lefties is correct.  Maybe you should be GM!

This year's bullpen is Exhibit A in why Josh Byrnes got fired.

Eric Byrnes making $11 million this year to play softball is Exhibit B.

So Josh Byrnes has pretty much fallen into their lap, if you assume Hendry is as good as gone.  Too good to be true?

Well, yes...if you think that Josh Byrnes might not be a good GM (see Exhibits A and B above), despite the fawnings.

Whenever you can put a guy with a .717 OPS in the game that decides home field for the World Series, you gotta make that move. Fuck the All Star game. High and hard

As much as it shocks my conscience to write this, how is Fat Carlos not an All-star either?
This is so bad, I'd root for the Orioles over this fucking team, but I can't. Because they're a fucking drug and you can't kick it and they'll never win anything and they'll always suck, but it'll always be sunny at Wrigley and there will be tits and ivy and an old scoreboard and fucking Chads.
