JOE STRAUSS: Carp, do you think Brendon Ryan was traded because of veteran's opinions of him last season? CARP: Joe, I believe in the GOBs, and in their son Tony La Russa, and because I do, I can say this: Brendon Ryan is playing for the Mariners and that's a tragedy. But he's playing for the Mariners because he had no code. He's playing for the Mariners because he had no honor. And the GOBs were watching.
