Knock yourselves out, but I don't think the chicken can actually be included in the trade.? Having negotiated trades with both of you, I suggest Doug?pick up several of the largest buckets of chicken?they have, plus enough other food and drinks to last the weekend,?and a sleeping bag.

Sample of conversation:

Block (quietly but firmly):? Doug, I just don't understand why I would do that.
Doug (in complete outrage):? C'mon Mark, how can you say that?!? I just made you the GREATEST OFFER IN THE HISTORY OF BASEBALL!!!!!? How can you not do this deal??!!!

Mark

Excellent.? Last night at dinner, my youngest son, who always asks great questions, asked the following:? "Dad, if you could make one food healthy that isn't, which one would you make?"? answer from me: fried chicken.? Doug, we like the big bucket.

This is the kind of response I am looking for, not Kerbers' Blocker-will-never-trade mantra.

I find Mark to be a wonderful trade partner and would never say a negative thing about him unlike my competitors.

?

Mark- you know how to reach me and if you want me to bring dinner over for you and the family, I can be there by 6:15 pm.

Doug

You also have to remember that not doing trades can take a really long time.? Look at the Cubs and Brian Roberts.? Blocker has several guys who are available to not be traded, so he has to start early.
