Put your players down and turn your deals over and the commissioner will come around and collect them.

Hands on your laps, please.

A bit of a a damp squib by the sound of things.

Omar is still wiping after that Big Splash.

I don't wanna be an alarmist here but is our club really good enough?

I think the Red Sox are still scribbling as the proctor collects the blue books.

I don't know if they're good enough, but looking at the market and the long/short term future of the franchise, I think they're as good as they were going to wind up being.

I think they can (and maybe will) still get this year's version of Conine on a waiver deal, and hope he's got more in the tank than last year's version.

For some reason, I'm still thinking the Nats are their trading partners.
