I come home from a hard day of work to sit down and have a little pasta and chicken and watch a team that is giving me nothing but joy this fall into winter the Boston Celtics. I got Mike Gorman and my man Tommy Heinsohn doing the game (love those Tommy Points) and Doc Rivers has finally smarten up and is giving Big Baby Davis more minutes. During a commercial I even set my channel guide to click on at 11 AM Sunday for Arsenal-Chelsea on Fox Sports Channel (don’t laugh I may start a new blog The George Best Society for the great footie player and ‘Playa”) 

I stop off at ESPNEWS as I make my way back to the C’s game and lo and behold what do I see run across the crawl:

 the Diamondbacks have acquired RHP Dan Haren from the A’s for for pitchers Brett Anderson, Greg Smith and Dana Eveland, OF Carlos Gonzalez and Aaron Cunningham and 1B Chris Carter.

YIKES!!!! The Snakes just added Harren to Brandon Webb, Doug Davis, Micha Owings and Randy Johnson. Two Cy Young candidates and one Cy Old.

Gonzalez was the #1 ranked prospect in the D-Backs system as per Baseball America Anderson #3 Cunningham #7 and Carter # 8

Maybe this is the deal that gets the ball rolling on either Erik Bedard or Johan Santana packing their bags and moving to Queens and how much pressure now is on Omar to land either pitcher. It may be that both Carlos Gomez and Fernando Martinez plus three of the usual pitching prospects have to be moved to get either ace.

You know the war drums are beating in Metsville as the natives will be up in arms over this trade and the inactivity of our GM. If Omar stands pat and goes with the forces he has this could a red hot summer on the Mets blogging circuit. Com’on Omar pull an ace out of your hat!!!!!!!!!!!!!   

I’m done here the C’s are up 10pts I LOVE RONDO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
