Getting players in trades is like the draft - never know what will happen. But I am happy / surprised really to see the willingness to move players. I am excited to see the progress of Singer, Lynch and Bubic. So I think that last few weeks have shown we could be see some real improvement. The next 60 games are all about setting the table for next year.

When I was a kid I had an LP record, "Baseball: The First 100 Years," narrated by Curt Gowdy. It featured lots of clips from old radio broadcasts. I listened to it endlessly, and the snippet that has stayed with me more than 50 years later was the recording of Scully's description of the final strike of Koufax's perfect game. Thanks for sharing that transcript this morning. It made me feel like I was 13 again.

Not seeing a lot written about the Rivera trade but I just can’t make sense of it - why ship him off with so many years of control left ?

Keith Olbermann has rebooted his old "Countdown" show as a podcast, & kicked it off today with a very sweet eulogy of Vin. Absolutely worth a listen.
