As a further add-on as to why the Nats made out in this deal: The rumor that Morgan was going to DC has been talked about in Pittsburgh for about a week. The word was that the Bucs wanted to trade Morgan for Milledge AND Craig Stammen. in typical Pirates fashion, they ended up giving up a much better pitcher and accepted a much worse one.
Oh, and in case this matters, they are getting a malcontent (Milledge) in exchange for a really good guy who was active in the community and was basically an honorary captain for the Penguins during their playoff run (Nyjer Morgan dreamed of playing hockey, not baseball.)
Looks like the chances of the Pirates making the Burgh 3 for 3 in championships has taken a small hit today, but in my mind, they will still win the series, just might take more than 4 games .

I guess we can officially put the "FAIL" label on the Schneider/Church trade for Lastings. I remember being excited about it at the time.
Of course, I also remember being excited when the Nationals traded some injured pitchers and Royce Clayton to the Reds for Austin Kearns and Felipe Lopez. Oh, how I wish we had those injured pitchers and Royce Clayton back now.
