Not Much to Talk About

As its been slim pickings for a while now on the baseball news front, we decided it was time to give our good friend Brian Cashman another call via satellite video phone. We submit the following transcript for your approval:

[Phone ringing]

BC: Hello?

RJG: What's up Bronny? How's it hangin'?

BC: It's going well I suppose.

RJG: Sooooooooooooooo, there's not much going on right now it seems. . .

BC: Yeah, yeah. It's kind of slow.

RJG: How are the kids?

BC: Kids are good, everything's good.

RJG: So . . . you signed Mark Teixeira . . . weeks ago . . .

BC: Yep, yep. Did you see the press conference?

RJG: I listened to it online. It was good, he seems happy to be a Yankee.

BC: We feel he's a good fit.

RJG: Working on any trades or anything?

BC: We always have our feelers out there, but nothing's going on. It's kind of slow.

RJG: Yeah. I guess that's what happens when you sign all the free agents that matter before Christmas. Thanks a lot jerk. You know what Bronny, you're a panda jerk, and that's the worst kind of jerk. I call you up, there's absolutely nothing to talk about. You're making me look stupid. This transcript is going to be on the internet! The internet, Bronny! And all you can tell me is your kids are good? I #&%*@! hate you Bronny, I hate you!

BC: That was uncalled for.

RJG: Yeah, I'm sorry. I didn't mean that. It's just that I've gotta post something on the blog, and there's nothing to write about, it's kind of stressful. Anyway, I don't hate you Bronny, sometimes I just get mad from riding the subway here in the city. You know what that's like.

BC: No, I don't. I have a limo driver.

RJG: Why don't you kiss my @$$!

RJG: I should probably call back and apologize . . .

These things happen Quinn. Mine and Bronny's relationship is complicated, and entirely relegated to satellite video phone conversations. sometimes the emotions build up. But that's the way it goes.
