Mark:
   Again, I am baffled by your unprovoked attacks.  I dare  say you cannot 
cite a single email I penned in which I touted a Riptorns'  prospect 
(although I recall that in some delusional rage you claimed a note  about Corky 
Miller amounted to some invitation for bid).  What do I care  what teams may 
know about my roster; it's public. They can see what  I have, and what I 
don't. 
   Your anxiety and paranoia are beginning to frighten  me.  Look, I know 
it so happens that I seem to have earned a shot at  second or third while 
acquiring keepers or players I like such as Kubel,  Salty and C.C. (sounds like 
an old puppet show on WGN, doesn't it?), but  that should not give you 
cause to just randomly fire off your salvos  like that crazed Korean dictator.  
Mark, please, if you want to win, then  I want you to win, okay?  If that's 
important to you, so be  it.  But I ask you: Have you seriously considered 
what capturing first  place actually means? A couple half-hearted 
congratulatory emails that nobody  reads and a perfunctory compliment on draft day 
while everyone else is  stuffing his face with a pastry (or, in Rick's case, a 
healthy snack).   If that means something to you, have at it.
   But, Mark, I am not your enemy. No, your enemies are  guys like Jeff and 
Rich, guys that will sweet talk you into trading away  talent like Price 
and Wieters, players you could have kept on your roster to  enjoy for years, 
and for what--a chance for some brief and fleeting moment to  bask in some 
earthly glory called first place?  And if you  do say "Yes, Brad Lee, it 
really really is worth it," then I  will accept that and respect your 
position...but in turn all I ask of you  is that you stop treating me like a  punching 
bag.  I'm  human.  And I hurt.
Regards,
Brad  
   
 
 




Jeff and others:
 
   I, for one, am quite excited for the Wieters Debut.  While he is  
unfortunately no longer on my roster, I am very interested to see how he  does 
once he is up with the big club, and not just abusing minor league  pitching.  
My other former "prospect" David Price is already up and  looks sizzling; 
enjoy, Rich.  The league should take note that these  high quality prospects 
emanated from the Bombers roster, not the Riptorns,  for as Jeff quite 
correctly notes, Brad is almost never right about  prospects.  As Mr. T would have 
said, I "pity the fool" who takes some  of Brad's meager prospects once 
June 1 rolls around.  Brad may be  walking down the Path of Truth, but he ain't 
walkin down it with any good  prospects in tow.  Buyer Beware.
