http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3510042

On Tuesday, the Angels made the kind of deadline blockbuster they're often accused of never making when they traded first baseman Casey Kotchman and pitching prospect Stephen Marek to Atlanta for the right to run Teixeira out there as their first baseman for the next two months.

dang, the angels already have the best record, this'll make them even better

bad for the braves, methinks

yeah, this year's over for them

and Teixeira even said that he wanted to stay with Atlanta. he was pretty good too

yeah i know, he was very good

yeah, but i guess they couldn't afford him
