Keepin It Real

I'm currently 30,000 feet over what looks like Kansas... but then again, I have no idea what Kansas looks like from 30,000 feet in the air. Why am I posting on here then, you might ask? Well, I've been absent so long, since I'm rolling again I should keep rolling to keep my readers happy. Hey, I know you're out there cuz I got 5 page views yesterday! (technically that doesn't mean you read it I guess, so much as clicked the link accidentally and then left super fast.)

This is totally not softball related, but I love the MLB trade deadline. Hanley Ramirez just got traded and while that means nothing to most of us, it's certainly a bit of a big deal. I can't help but refresh my twitter feeds to see who will go next. Zach Greinke? One of my Mariners? Who knows... gets me to thinking, maybe we should introduce trading into the House League. I can see it now, the twitter account for Scared Hitless blowing up with the news that they've received 2 minor league prospects and a 1st round pick from the Big Lebowskis in exchange for LetsGoCommando who is in the last year of his 3 year contract.

Yeah yeah, totally ridiculous, I know. But hey, we already have a Free Agent market. Don't believe me? Why don't you ask Texas Republic how hard it is to keep there players with the New York Sliders coming in with their deep pockets, or talk to the perm-rent-a-player Super Mario World and see what he got from the Dragon Slayers and Pot Fever. I thought about testing the market myself last year, but decided the offers wouldn't be piling up for a 30 year old fat guy with less than marginal softball skills, go figure. I wound up just giving myself and extension with my current team and called it a day.

Later.
