How is a transaction that netted us Foulke, Howry, Caruso and Barcelo.
Caruso was decent for awhile, Howry and Barcelo were real good before they got hurt... and Foulke.. well, he just sucks.
Alvarez and Hernandez were never that good after the trade, Darwin? pffth.
I fail to see how that is worse than the Sox imploding at home in the 2000 playoffs versus the Mariners.
