<div class="description"><p>I know some of us had looked at Mark last year for help when ARam went down and for possible help at 2B. Don't think this helps the WS that much, but still makes the Royals the Triple A version of the Pirates. </p></div>

<div class="description"><p>Brewers get Gomez, JJ goes to the new Target Field. I like this trade for us, because JJ is better offensively, plays more positions, and well, frankly, is just damn better than Gomez. Now JJ is out of the NL Central, albeit, he had a rough 2009. Go Twins.</p>

<div class="description"><p>Paul Sullivan talks about an upcoming ESPN "30 for 30" episode that disusses the Bartman episode. With Our Fearless Leader stating "there are no curses" and attempting to put the past behind us, is it time for Cub Nation to release some kind of formal statement of forgiveness?</p>
<p>I don't know if this is truly necessary but I have always felt really bad for the guy and I know there are others. </p>
<p>Thoughts?</p></div>
