[USML Announce] Bombers - business as usual

Wed Apr 16 19:25:59 EDT 2008

I don't know how it would sound, but I'd be willing to bet Brad would manage to be on both sides of the?deal at the same time, and that he would trade at least one player more than once in the same?deal.? And we'd pass a rule to outlaw it as soon as we could figure out what happened.

nock yourselves out, but I don't think the chicken can actually be included in 
he trade.? Having negotiated trades with both of you, I suggest Doug?pick up 
everal of the largest buckets of chicken?they have, plus enough other food and 
rinks 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 
ou the GREATEST OFFER IN THE HISTORY OF BASEBALL!!!!!? How can you not do this 
eal??!!!

sn't, which one would you make?"? answer from me: fried chicken.? Doug, we like

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