These Names Are Too Dang Hard To Keep Straight
"When the first-place Cubs pay their first visit to Miller Park for a four-game series at the end of the month, Yost will have Sabathia, Sheets and Parra lined up for the first three games. Chicago followed the Brewers’ acquisition of Sabathia by trading for Oakland ace Dan Haren but Yost said he gave no thought to that tit-for-tat." -- Tom Haudricourt

Really?
Jeez Tom, that’s just a dumb mistake. I mean c’mon, if you want to be the raja of brewers coverage, you have to hold that title with perfection. That was as dumb as a sackman pun :).

Um
I may be dumb and slow on the uptake, but what’s wrong there? Focusing on the bold bit
Brewers acquired Sabathia
Chicago followed that by trading for Haren
Haren played for Oakland
Haren’s first name is Dan
so..what’d I miss?
It’s the same in the article too…

P.S.
tit-for-tat gives me almost as many giggles as the abbreviation for the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences

And Dan Haren was traded from Oakland to Arizona last offseason.

Dan Haren
is an anagram for
Harden? N/A.
"I will agree that the attitude [at BCB] is ridiculous and they have done so much to instigate animosity and then block us from responding. Real mature!"

And Harden? N/A
is a description of Rafael Palmeiro’s later years.
Also, cheese.
