[USML Announce] Ain't No Use In Brian

[Blocker, Mark B.]

Brad:  I am happy to discuss any and all trade possibilities with you.
I am just worried that the tin cans the CTA provides you with may not
stretch all the way over to my office...

Mark, I'd love to talk to you, but it appears that all you want to
discuss is how my team can dump its talent to you. That is not a
discussion I am prepared to embrace at this time. Now that the Prince
has warmed up and Jayson Nix is about to claim the NY SS gig, it's a
matter of when, not if, the Rips storm the ramparts. Enjoy you brief
moment on the shining hill. It's over.

Actually, I suggest we end the season today, because I just don't things
could ever be going better for the Bombers.  A small recap:

 

1.  Preseason:  Brad confers "contender" status on my team.

 

2.  Draft:  Jeff W. praises my draft as "not awful."

 

3.  First week:  I am in first place, and the outcome-determinative
Alexi Casilla piece magically clicks into place.

 

How can it get better?

P.S. Brad:  Thanks for all of the accolades.  I'd thank you by phone,
but you seem not be able to return my calls, so this public shout-out
will have to do.

ITEM

BALTIMORE -- Orioles second baseman Brian Roberts will be sidelined 3-4
weeks with a ruptured tendon behind his right knee.

 

LOSER

Klein 9. Team's foolish belief that Roberts could stay healthy for even
longer than a work week leaves team LIMPING OUT OF THE GATE. 

 

WINNER

Block's Bombers. Evil genius owner's $1 purchase of Alexi Casilla all
but assures team's hold on first as team IS READY TO BARNSTORM.
