In Honor of Sean Casey and Snowfall

Cincinnati is abuzz with the trade of Sean Casey to hapless Pittsburgh for what looks like a hapless lefthanded pitcher and a savings of about $7 million a year.

SWNID believes that Casey's departure was inevitable. Sooner or later, someone had to go to make room for all the stallions in the outfield. And as Adam Dunn plays first base better than he does left field, and as Dunn's power is more potent that Casey's average, and as Casey's salary was seriously high, well, the proverbial writing was on the proverbial wall.

Meanwhile, Cincinnatians are stockpiling white bread and 2% milk in anticipation of the first episode of the White Death, currently forecast for 2"-5" Thursday night.

Gentle readers can celebrate these two local occasions by visiting this interesting site and following these instructions:
  • Click once, to get the penguin to jump
  • Click once again to make the snowman hit the penguin as he descends from the cliff.
    Click on the "OK" flag to try again
See if your own power as a hitter is, like Sean Casey's, circumscribed by the warning track!

Does that mean Austin Kearns won't be dealt to the Cubs?

253.7 --how about you?
poor sean casey, whatever will become of him, joining are arch-rivals? for whom will we cheer when we play against the pirates? (the sheer force of the hometown team, vs. one single player, will be enough to sway people's loyalty, but still, it is a tragic day.)

I'm sure that Kearns is praying that he doesn't get traded to the Cubs, the only team where he has less chance of a championship than his current one . . . and Pittsburgh!
