Think they also got Garland. Rockies for some reason got Contreras…which is odd, unless they’re looking to be done playing soon.

Probably
It’s a nice luxury to have.

They already had Mark Sweeney!
What more do they want?

Sweeney retired
Didn’t he?
No, really, I have updated my blog this year: http://skaldheim.livejournal.com/tag/baseball
I don’t know why, he’s a lot better than James Loney
"he walked 18; new league record! Struck out 18, another new league record! He also hit the sportswriter, the PA announcer, the bull mascot twice..."

Apparently Thome is done playing the field
I didn’t know that either.
Thome, who has not played first base since playing one game in 2007, goes from a third-place team trailing Detroit and Minnesota in the AL Central Division to the first-place Dodgers, who lead Colorado by 5 1/2 games in the NL West.
Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti envisions Thome playing a role similar to the one Matt Stairs filled for the World Series champion Phillies last year — he hit a key home run against the Dodgers in the NLCS. James Loney is the Dodgers’ regular first baseman.
“We’re not bringing him over here to play first base,” Colletti said. "We’re bringing him here to come off the bench and be a great influence in the clubhouse. He’s one of the true great guys in the game.
“In fact, the night before the deadline he called me. … He just said: `I just want to be honest with you. I’d love to come. I want to help you guys any way I can. But playing first base is not something I’m going to be able to do — maybe in an emergency situation, perhaps.’”
"The questions are so stupid. I don't believe in rivalries. I don't believe in curses. Wake up the damn Bambino, maybe I'll drill him in the ass."

Why Would The Sox Make This Trade?
Seeing as they sent cash and received a professional minor leaguer, I don’t understand the value of this trade? Anyone care to provide some insight?
Since when were the white sox philanthropists?
On another note, the Fodgers made out like bandits in the last few hours, especially considering Garland’s salary is covered by the D’Backs.

1. On ESPN is the conjecture that the bums did this to cock block Los Gigantes
2. Another possible reason is that the Bums are thinking World Series, and don’t wanna, for example, repeat the “Now DHing, for the San Francisco Giants, TSUYOSHI-I-i-i-i SHINJO-O-O-O-o-o-o-o-o”
3. I HAVE HAD IT UP TO HERE WITH THESE COTTONPICKING SNAKES I FOUND ON THIS COTTONPICKING AIRPLANE
I'm not sure which Shinjo I like better.
Giant Shinjo, Frogcap Shinjo, Pitching Shinjo, or Disco Shinjo
