[USML Announce] Winick's Damon Dreams Get Double-Downed

[jhwinick at aol.com]

Its always darkest before the dawn. Typically its right about the time that Brad pronounces me dead and gone that things start turning around.  Methinks I can see a little sunshine. 

The second half of the spoils from the "completely ridiculous, takes no skill to dump, can you believe that he traded away AROD for that" trade was just called up to the big leagues by the Yankees. Who needs Rich Harden. Philip Hughes is The Man.

It's all over but the grimacing for the game but lame Berliners.? "Kudos to Winick for the brilliant strategy of drafting Liriano then peddling him for Curt Schilling," intoned the professorial Andy Klein.? "And I'm sure if Winick had waited another few days Kerbs' price would have been that much higher." 
? 
The reason for Klein's caustic comment is that today Winick learned that?his ace Rich Harden?began his annual trip to the DL.? "That's not such a big deal," noted?Klein.? "To me, the bigger hit is the loss of Andy Marte.??With such modest power?from his other?corner players,?Winick needed some solid numbers from that young stud.? He had lifted his average up to .179 when the injury bug bit.? Not only will that loss of production hurt Winick now, but it will also negatively impact his ability to trade the bean to the Nukes.? This injury effectively knocks the Berliners out of the race. I think we just heard the sound of the Other Shoe dropping." 
? 
With respect to his own team, Klein had surprisingly little to say as he headed to CVS to buy Milton Bradley a get well card.? "My only other observation thus far is not to count the Nukes out.? With Gagne out indefinitely, the Nukes now have the Rangers' saves locked up. I look at that Nukes' roster and see a degree of upward mobilty that others may not. But that doesn't surprise me. You see, I have a Seventh Sense, one that sees the future of Upton and Dukes and Ohka.? Not to mention Lubanski." _______________________________________________
