[USML Announce] Will Klein's Mindless Insults Awaken Riptorns' Beast Within? .:.

[Blocker, Mark B.]

When I was in college, I once heard about some guys who had a contest to see who could write a short story that most sounded as if it was written by Faulkner.  Other students were to be the judges.  

Inspired by those guys, and by Jeff W's recent attempts, I am officially starting a contest to see who can write an e-mail that most sounds like it was written by Brad.  Please submit your entries to the usmltrans mail box by noon on Saturday, in an e-mail separate from your weekly transactions.  I will circulate all of the entries and we will vote on a winner.  The only rule on submissions is that you cannot copy one of Brad's prior e-mails.

Good luck to all participants.

My dear Fellow Owners:
    Not only does Andy ReKlein see fit to mock my trade offers and overtures to him, offers purely intended to benefit his team, but he has now taken the most inappropriate step of ridiculing deals I made for other players, in which he later obtains players I traded away for what he deems a better price than what I received (and I'm sorry, Andy, but not even you bothered to bid a buck on that ace Casey Fossum, and as to Dan Meyer all I can say is "Who? He's not on anyone's top 200 list that I can see,"  and as far as that kid OF goes, you can Markakis my skinny little a#@). 
    You have taken the most dangerous step of rejecting, then ridiculing me for my kind and generous offers.  So don't be crying in your bowl of cereal, Andy the K, when the gray Indiana dawn brings you tidings that the likes of Beltre, Patterson and yes even Jim Thome have been traded to your most fiercest rival(s).  One can only hope that the beast shows you some degree of mercy, Jeff Winick willing....

BTW, Gammons wins USML Day Trader of the year.  He turned R.Soriano -- a guy
with a bad elbow and only 10 IP combined the last two years -- into Markakis 
at $5, a rotation starter in Fossum, and Dan Meyer.  No wonder the Daddies 
ar the defending champions!
