Torii Hunter with some more Cardinal-esque gibberish.

I doubt trading within your division is one of the fabled UNWRITTEN RULES OF BASEBALL... poorly-judged, not recommended, maybe even unfortunately necessary, but not UNWRITTEN.

Which begs the question: If the UNWRITTEN RULES OF BASEBALL were actually written, would it dwarf the actual rulebook? How about War & Peace?

Put your glove on, shut up, & get on the field. No one's looking to you for the direction of their own moral compass.

Adieu, Mr. Jenkins

One of my favorite Brewers retired today, so I'd like to thank Geoff Jenkins for a few things:

Thanx for always playing balls-out
Thanx for the picture many years ago with my wife & I
Thanx for showing off your arm
Thanx for the hellish upper-cut swing

Jenks had a frustrating "It's all or nothing here on Home Run Derby" mentality, but I always felt he was overlooked for his defense. Good luck, #5, on whatever your future brings. You brought me much joy during some lean years.
