MLB has an article today talking about (among other things) the macdougal acquisition… and how KW is still not trading brandon mccarthy. yay! this makes me happy. i like our goofy-looking rookie, and he does good work, and it would make me sad to give such a good player (“…the 25-year-old right-handed reliever who probably will be part of the White Sox starting rotation in 2007.”) away to someone else who would then win games with him.

also, in addition to him being a fine pitcher (which i, jealously, wish to hoard for our team) i find it really entertaining to watch brandon. especially when he’s wearing his socks up high, dude is eighty-hundred and nine feet (and two inches) tall!
