34 Inch Stick

I have been looking around the web sites to the teams that were most effected by this trade. Here is a breakdown of feelings of fans:
New York- ranges from liking to loving the trade. They will miss El Duque (same feelings we have for Biddle I guess). Very happy to have Osuna. Even happier to stick it to the Red Sox for the second time in a month. Of course the Yankee fans have been understanding to their Red Sox brothers. Our participation in the deal seems insignificant to them.
Montreal- they do not appear to like the trade. They blame Minaya for waiting to long on the deal and decreasing value. Would have liked what other teams were offering more. In a struggle just to keep the team in Montreal.
Boston- this group seems completely dillusional. Posts from earlier in the week talk about picking up Colon. Now that he is gone the majority say they didn't want him anyway. There are a few who realize the devastation of the Yankee interference. Don't seem to be making plans for playoff baseball. Of course they hate the Yankees.
Twins- Think this trade will make it a serious race. Say it is a sign the White Sox will be battling. Do not seem to fear Colon in head to head based on 2 outings last year. Still think the offense is going to magically get better.
Overall I like the Yankee fan opinion. Not only do they have enough talent to win their division, they have enough money to manipulate the entire game against their enemies. It is never a question about the division, only where if a move makes the team closer to championship caliber.
Boston seems like a sad sack group. They want to win but are willing to make excuses when they don't. I was suprised to find them very similar to the north side franchises fans.
Montreal is dead. It seems like few people care.
The Twins cannot seem to have any perspective on how things effect their team. They won the division last year so the same things will happen this year. Corey Koskie is always going to break out.
That's my report. Submitted for your review and who gives a rat's ass about your approval.
