[USML Announce] Dear Penn Pal:

[Brad Jansen]

My dearest Jeffrey:
  How nice of you to climb from under your rock, the rock upon which you
construct your foundation of Despair, to carp about another trade partner
you left in the dust.  Yes, Jeffrey, we all know that Penn and Marte were
amongst your top auction acquisitions, exciting talent you were savvy enough
to grab while pending League Champion Douglas Shabelman was darting to the
washroom. And, of course, we are fully aware of your propensity to crow
about trades where you screw over the other party.
   So, thanks for reminding us of what are wonderful roto player you are, on
this, the most solemn of the Highest Holy Days of the Workingman...but what
do you know of labor, dear Jeffrey, you who hire poor, undocumented migrants
to scrub your toilets, bathe your children and massage your sagging
middle-age flesh?  I suppose right now you are shopping on Michigan Avenue
while your driver parks your late-model Lexus as I compose this letter and
mournfully remember that you exist solely to torment me for the sordid
amusement of others.

Your cheap trick,
Brad Lee
