It's a sad day when Jason can't do the show, but our own Jay Jaffe fills in admirably as we talk about this signing deadline, A.J. Burnett and the mysterious men in white in Toronto. Matt Leach from MLB.com joins us to discuss why the Cardinals just might be the most annoying team in baseball (except to Cardinals fans), and our listener of the week is an Ivy League philosophy and math brainiac who just finished 98th in the main event of the World Series of Poker. As always, we hope you enjoy.
Note: We do alert you to the presence of the occasional adult language and subject matter. Don't say we didn't warn you.

Not to be all defensive for a blog not my own, but Drunk Jays Fans the blog was not excoriating Amy Nelson in a sexist manner, but in a professional one (albeit unprofessionally, as is their credo). Some commenters on that blog, however, sunk to extremely low depths in grossly misogynistic thoughts about her credentials.
While I'm not sold on the veracity of the allegations Nelson and Keating presented, I see absolutely no excuse for resorting to that kind of childish and irresponsible bullshit.
