I would have loved to get either Oswalt or Lilly - but not if the price is Ludwick playing for Houston or Chicago.

Too bad we couldn't have used him to get Haren back.

This trade sucks, but... but... looking for the positive here.... not really working....

Hopefully he hits for us because we haven't hit for shit lately. Its really frustrating when you go 7-3 after the All Star Break, while the 2nd place team goes 9-3 in the same stretch, and then you go 0-2 after that and teh 2nd place team goes 2-0.

Long story short, the Giants are only 1.5 back now, while they've been pretty much 5-6 back the whole season (at the same time the Dodgers and Rockies are now like 7 and 8 games back). The ****ing Dodgers are no help and ****ing fail every time they play the Giants.

Ludwick debuts for the Padres today and has to face Josh Johnson of all people. Hopefully his bat helps our lineup.

I like Luddy too but we know he was gone eventually. They gave up a good player but that is better than losing one of our prospects like Miller to get a rental SP. Maybe we should wait to see how Westbrook pitches before diving off the cliff?

No way we could keep running our 4 & 5 pitchers out there to give up 5 runs in 5 innings every stinking game.

Even if we gave up Miller for Oswalt (unlikely given what the Astros took back), we'd have him for at least the rest of this year and all of 2011.

This was a travesty. We owned Ludwick's rights through 2011. Either we keep him through 2011 and get type A compensation for him.

Instead, we trade him for a fringe #4 just so that we'll get his salary covered.

That's pathetic.
