1. Orioles send Curt Schilling, Pete Harnisch and Steve Finley to Astros for Glenn Davis (53 letters)
You want free drinks in Baltimore? All you have to do is start a conversation complaining about Glenn Davis. It's like visiting Boston, bumping into The Sports Guy and saying, "Roger Clemens is a bum." Next thing you know, the whole bar is buying your rounds for the rest of the night.

The O's sent Steve Finley, Pete Harnisch and Curt Schilling (yes, the Curt Schilling) to the Astros for Glenn Davis. I'll repeat -- an All-Star outfielder, a decent pitcher (who had some issues, but anyway) and the NL pitcher of dominance to the Astros for a veteran (read: old man getting paid too much money).

Davis' claim to fame in Baltimore is getting his jaw broken in a bar room brawl after being here a week! That's right, not only did the man lose us some major prospects but he didn't even play because he got his butt whooped in a bar fight.
