This is mindboggling. First, Calgary was giving Odom to Laredo for their best player. Then, Laredo offered cash, but that was an insult. So, they offered bats. Calgary was originally getting the BEST player....but settled for bats. And that's not insulting?Quote:
Odom said he was supposed to be traded for Laredo's best hitter. But when that player balked at moving to Calgary, the bats entered the deal.
Laredo offered cash for Odom, but Young said that was "an insult."
This is priceless.
They're probably re-thinking it and will realize they did it backwards, accepting the bats. D'oh!
weird... it's like reading a piece from The Onion...
IS it more insulting to the player traded or to Laredo's best player ?Quote:

What would you rather have, bats or beer?
Oh and 10 bats at $69 a pop = $690
60 cases of Bud at $18 = $1,080.
Beer!
:)
Maybe you could get Odom to sign one of the bats he was traded for. That would be a very interesting trophy. :)Quote:
