Mike Cisco traded for, literally, nothing

When it came down to dealing right-hander Mike Cisco, no price seemed fair to Philadelphia Phillies GM Ruben Amaro. So he literally traded Cisco to the Los Angeles Angels for nothing.
Wow. That is a slap in the face.

Can you even call that a trade? They didn't need some new bats or anything?

Relax....Amaro is getting a 10% off coupon for In-N-Out Burger that he can use on the Phillies next west coast trip.

Wow. He was a pretty cool guy from what I remember. Went to school with him at USC. Actually teamed up with him for a couple of school projects.

This is what we get for bashing the Missouri announcers for their performance last weekend. Never provoke the media...no matter how ridiculous, they always back their own. What else makes any sense?

Ouch. At least give the guy a reach around. Not the publicity Cisco wanted, but the good out of it is they said he's doing good in the monors, so hopefully he may get his shot at something bigger.

I'd rather be in LA than Philedelphia, that is for sure.

Huh?

So... because a thread on Cockytalk was started talking shit about the Mizzou radio announcers, Yahoo Sports ran a front page about Mike Cisco as payback?

No joke.

"We're trading you to LA"

"Cool. Who are you getting?"

"No one. We're just sending you to LA."

"uh. Still cool. I'll be in LA, and your bitch ass will be in Philly getting batteries thrown at you and living in a craterized hellhole surrounded by Philly handstyle wickets and lame-ass white people in wifebeaters who listen to hair metal and smoke meth bought by black-market WIC checks all day. I'll think of you when I'm trading shots at Cabo's with Josh Beckett off Leann Tweeden's chest, or having lunch at Orso with Matt Kemp. See ya."

Never underestimate the power of Hunter and Tex. They didn't get where they are by being...um, nevermind.

It's a joke. Mizzou has one of the best J schools in the country with tons of alumni spread across a wide variety of the media spectrum.
