Look, I know it's sad to see your best starter go, but you're not even as good as the Mariners right now, and they're not close to as good as the Angels. Lighten up: When has Billy Beane ever failed you?

Of course I like the trade, but I feel kind of guilty taking it...kind of like when a blackjack dealer pays you even though you pushed. You grab the chips, but you also feel like you should say something. D-Backs fan here.

I've always been a fan of small-market teams like Oakland and Minnesota, but I am so sick of getting kicked in the stomach every few years. Just wanted to let you know I feel your pain.
