Since we don't seem to be done with all of that yet, given the comment counts and server churning of the last couple threads ...

Why is it, you think, that you never do get what you want for Christmas?

Because I don't celebrate Christmas, you insensitive jerk

I don't know what you;re talking about. I always get what I want for Christmas. And the world is ok by me. I do hate the Yankees, though.

I usually wake up on the roof, sans pants.

But that’s just how my family celebrates the season.

Normally,

Explain

Will non-Holliday be before the season, at the trading deadline or at the end of the season?

How about this trade (not involving the A's)

To the Mariners: Swisher, Melky Cabrera, Kei Igawa
To the Yankees: Ichiro

Makes no sense for the Mariners

Ichiro is practically free with all the media money he brings in.

You actually would WANT the Yankees to get better.

Why couldn’t it be some NL team’s spare parts?

I never get what I want for Christmas because...

…I live in a small-market family.

you'll never compete with the other families until you get a new facility

… at taxpayer expense, of course.

GreenNGoldSooner, can't you trade your brother for three small children?

One of whom is reasonably likely to grow up to be better than your brother.

Actually, I’ve met your brother – it’s practically a sure thing.

For once

I would just like to enjoy the season. By the time I get to be with family and scarf down Mom’s tamales on the actual holiday, I am completely worn out.

I'm here to talk about the past.

Eating tires you out?

wow. i feel sorry for you.

btw, I NEVER get what I want for Christmas. EVER. for the same reason as Grover; I’m not bad, just evil.

I guess I'm evil, too

Because I am kind of glad you capitalized the “g” in “grover”.

Not because I dislike grover. I just like how worked up he gets over it. But maybe the holiday spirit will keep him from tearing your sweet little head off.

oops.

I forgot about how i am NEVER EVER supposed to capitalize the g in grover. uh oh. {hides}

but… eh… sweet? didn’t I just finish explaining that I don’t get presents because I’m evil?

agreed

but then again, it’s the “your/you’re” to some…that’s grover’s thing.
