"Well, they tell me of a pie up in the sky
Waiting for me when I die
But between the day you're born and when you die
They never seem to hear even your cry."
Best soundtrack of all-time. Incredible artist. Huge loss.

Almost every time an MLB trade happens, I can see the logic for both sides.
In this O's-Angels trade, I can't find the logical underpinning unless Baltimore is really worried about Rodriguez's recovery from elbow issues.

The onslaught and genocide that transpired across the continent—waves of settlers, smallpox epidemics, broken treaties, militia campaigns, Christian conversion, the creation of reservations, the relentless theft of land—occurred in Maryland two centuries before the Trail of Tears and Plains Wars.

On this day in 1965, Morrison set himself on fire outside Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara's office. “I reacted to the horror by bottling my emotions, [not discussing] them with anyone—even my family,” McNamara said. “I knew [they] shared many of his feelings about the war.”
