Dear Oakland A's,You couldn't have waited till Monday to make this trade?! What the eff-hole?
Sincerely, PhoulBallz.com
Matt Holliday joined the Cardinals in Philadelphia on Friday, following a trade that sent prospects Brett Wallace, Shane Peterson and Clayton Mortensen to Oakland. St. Louis has upgraded their team with three trades this month adding Holliday, Julio Lugo and Mark DeRosa.
Holliday quickly proved to be the impact player that Cards manager Tony La Russa has been wanting to add to the team's offense and contributed for the Cardinals, as he got 4 hits, an RBI, a run scored and a stolen base in the 8-1 defeat of the Phillies on Friday.
The Phillies go back at it today, at 4:05pm on the Fox national(/regional) broadcast.
