BP PODCAST EPISODE 81: I DON'T WANT TO DRINK THIS ANYMORE
Let's keep it short. Let's just do an intimate show. Those were my thoughts
heading into Thursday night, and all I really learned is that Jason and I
don't know how to stop talking. Our listeners came up big in the email
department, we have lots of prospects to talk about, and with the Cubs signing
Gerardo Concepcion and the Josh Hamilton story breaking, we had some current
events to discuss as well. As always, we hope you enjoy.
