That headline at that link says "Trade goes through?" -- that's a question mark at the end. It also says "it looks like" it's gone through. So, it's almost there, but it doesn't actually say it's a "done deal" although I don't doubt that it is.
Oh...holy...god. This is not happening. Anyone but the Scum. At least we didn't pick up Travis Bickle, Jr. NoNoNoNoNONONONONONONONONONONO How could we give up Eddie? How could we give up Jaime? Richie, I can understand. He was shite in the midfield. Petke? I hate that tool. Oh god...I'm in shock. I need a drink.
Maybe Marco will really click with him and Marco will start wearing the Breathe-Right strip again on his nose.
I am extremely sorry to see Jaime, Eddie, & ABMOD go. Thanks, single entity, for the establishment of recognizable teams, where fans can cheer their favorite players and be rewarded for their emotional investment! If this is true, and if Mike Petke sticks around (as opposed to being trade bait to some other team), as DCU fans we will need get over this and make him feel welcome. As someone else posted on another thread, I am a DC United fan, first. (Dons asbestos suit, hurriedly! Prepares to be flamed with a great flaming!) Winoman
I'm with you and hiding behind you since my asbestos suit "shrank". After all he would be our shite and as we all know our shite don't stink. :|
Sigh...you're right. Losing Pope is sad and I reserve the right to recoil in horror if the official announcement is made but I'll welcome Petke if he ends up here (can I hide behind the asbestos suit too?)
[Mr. Rourke voice] Senor Petke, welcome to my team... Would you have any spare breathe-right strips?[/Mr. Rourke voice] "Also, how much will you give me for the dancing boy who amuses you so?"
