ROBERTS TRADED!
OMG, it finally happened. I guess that's what a day of DeRosa and Theriot going 0-for 6 does for you.
A news conference has been called this afternoon at 2pm at Wrigley. I'll let you read the article (link below) for the juicy bits, but here are the highlights:
... It appears that MacPhail got his man after all, as the Cubs are parting with highly regarded outfielder Felix Pie. Other players in the deal are all names we've heard before: Ronny Cedeno, Sean Gallagher, Sean Marshall and Donny Veal.
Roberts heard the news from teammate Millar this morning. Reached for comment via Blackberry, he responded, "It's bittersweet. [Baltimore] is the organization that I came into baseball with, the only organization I've ever known. But Chicago is a great town and I'm looking forward to giving my best for a historic franchise."
"...I'm glad to have it finally done with because the rumors were getting old. I mean, who keeps a player for opening day and then trades them on April 1st?"
You can read the rest in the Chicago Sentinel.

This fucker had me swearing up and down and moaning in agony as a Cubs fan, until it hit me all of a sudden that today is April 1.
I. Am. Not. Smart.
