**Online Host** Welcome to The Trading Deadline Chat!
SmokeSomeGagne: /rubs eyes
..Mr. Epstein? What're you doing here so late?
TheoElDio: The trade deadline has been 4PM for a while now. So to answer your question I'm wondering why you sleep all day with a shower cap on.
SmokeSomeGagne: It helps keep my geek curls mangy and unkempt. You should try it out sometime.
TheoElDio: No thanks I'm not into weird pierced chicks.
TheoElDio: Want to play for the Red Sox? There are plenty of weirdos like you wondering around in Boston. You'd feel right at home. Well, except you'd be accepted.
SmokeSomeGagne: But I thought you guys had Papelbon. Did you trade him or something?
TheoElDio: Yeah just part of my annual "dumping o' the youthful talent" binge. What are you crazy? You'd set up for him.
SmokeSomeGagne: Wait isn't Okajima already the setup man for you guys?
TheoElDio: Doyyy you'd be setting up for the setup man. It's still setting up.
SmokeSomeGagne: What about Delcarmen? He's been getting those shots nowadays.
TheoElDio: But we need strikeouts, Eric! We're going to bring you in whenever we need a guaranteed strikeout.
SmokeSomeGagne: Uh, isn't that Wily Mo Penas job?
**Online Host** Hours later...
SmokeSomeGagne: But I saw a perfectly fine toaster in your clubhouse the other day. I'm definitely not willing to platoon with a Cuisinart.
TheoElDio: Well would you be willing to sit in the bullpen and do what I goddamn well tell you to do?
SmokeSomeGagne: No. My contract has incentives that require I close out games.
TheoElDio: We count every MPH you post on the stadium's gun as a save and pay you enough money to see all the Ween, They Might Be Giants, or whatever other crappy nerd rock band concerts you can stomach.
SmokeSomeGagne: Even Ozma!?
TheoElDio: I'm afraid my answer might result in you screaming and air guitaring to some shitty riff you emulate by mouth so I'm going to say no.
But yes.
SmokeSomeGagne: WHOOO HOOOO!
/air guitar
SmokeSomeGagne: Bowww wowwww
noww noww noww nowwwwwww
TheoElDio: It's like if Manny managed to graduate from high school and decided to stay home to help his mother bake cakes every day.
