You can't just say "oh...well I guess it worked out" and not bother critically examining the deal. Just as Haren for Mulder was a friggen disaster that we managed to overcome, Rasmus for a pile of mediocre crap that the White Sox gave away 4 hours before we traded for them was NOT a benefit to that team. The Cards won despite it, regardless of what dipshit Dan McLaughlin has to say about it.

Your the one with the faulty logic here. Mulder didn't perform well. To say his performance helped the team makes no sense. Those middle relievers DID perform well and DID help us win a WS.
