Holliday trade or Chris Duncan trade?

Holliday threads seemed a little more sequential, IIRC.
Duncan, maybe, though. That was a wild day.

Just pitch around this guy Waino
He should be the one getting the big contract from Philly

So let me get this straight
When a player is in a contract year, he’s gonna be pressing. When a player has just signed a 7 year contract he’s also going to be pressing!
That, and
getting a player back at the trading deadline is like making a trade.

I need some help remembering a pitcher again.
Does anybody remember the game where we went down 8-0 to the Reds in the first inning, only to come back and win? I think J.D. Drew had a homer in the game to help the comeback. However, I’m trying to remember who started and let up all the runs. He was young, and he wore glasses. Anybody know who I’m talking about?

No, we went down 8-0 in the first inning.

It was 6-0 in the first inning, became 8-0 in the second. Travis Smith is the guy, I can’t find any pictures of him on Google images (which now sucks a lot), but I know he was the one.
