[USML Announce] Grading The In-Season Dump Deals

Tue Aug 7 11:17:20 EDT 2012

Brother Blocker, I don't remember calling on you. Before I take you to the
principal's office for your daily paddle let me remind the class: If any of
you think a KC minor league pitcher who ranks #29 on BA's mid-season list
is a "prospect,"  you will be sent to the school nurse to be tested for
drugs and alcohol.

Brother Fruit: That was an outstanding pun. I am glad to see someone around
here shows a little initiative. Please submit an application to serve as my
teaching assistant next semester.
