I'm excited because in my blue and orange world we're gonna make a

bunch of blockbuster trades for quality yutes and then win like 85% of

the games in August!

Ranger junior jocksniffers terrified they'll give up top prospects

Because of Moneyball, my wife tends to think all deadline deals are for Ricardo Rincon.



　　"Mark ... Billy ... . Let's be honest. A premiere setup man is not going to get you any closer to the playoffs."



　　"Are you referring to Rincon?"



I mention that there's buzz that the Mets are preparing to trade Scherzer and Verlander, and she asks if they're doing so bad. I explain that no, it's the end of July and there's no trading after July, and the teams with the best hopes trade with the teams with lesser hopes and she's all "Are you referring to Rincon?"



That's what I get for mansplainin'.
