I am extremely unhappy with Billy Beane (GM of the Oakland Athletics) right now. He could have traded ANYONE on the team, but it HAD to be righty pitcher Rich Harden.
It HAD to be him.
Let's not forget how I've had a crush on Rich Harden since junior year of high school. That's SEVEN years of dedication here people. I also met him at the A's spring training camp in Phoenix my freshman, sophomore and senior years of college.
And now he's gone. Oh yeah, he also lives (livED excuse me) in Alamo behind my parents. Which means my dreams of working for the Oakland Athletics and meeting Rich Harden before his contract expires in 2009 are shot. Nada. I guess the only positive here is that the Cubs' spring training facilities are also in the Phoenix area. If we go next year, you KNOW I will be watching some Cubby games!
But all is not lost. Last night I was watching the A's game -- while working here at one of Pacific's youth soccer/recruiting camps -- and sort of fell in love instantly with their newest member, 24 year old Wes Bankston. He even hit a homer, good boy. (He's on the right in the photo below!)
So I guess it's a good thing I developed my mini crush yesterday, before we traded Harden this afternoon at 3 p.m. But, now what am I going to do with all my Harden jerseys?!?!?!?!?!
