A Clown and a Bentel Trade

The Candy Colored Clowns completed their triple play (third trade this off-season with a Bentel owner) in the trade arena by making the following deal with the DoorMatts:

The Clowns trade Carlos Marmol (.14 11+) and their 4th round pick to the DoorMatts for Ubaldo Jimenez (.10 10!) and the Matts 2nd round pick.

The Clowns solidified their rotation while also gathering up another high round draft pick. The DoorMatts have either added some much needed help to their bullpen or given themselves a summer long double headache (Marmol now being a 'Matt and Cub).

Blast from the (kinda) CFCL Past

Watching the overtime in the Vikings-Saints game tonight, a Sears commercial featuring Brett Favre caught me eye:



Brett's co-star in the clip is Brad Morris - producer/director of Trading the Gator, the fantasy baseball documentary from 2002 in which the CFCL played a featured role.  Brad  is (or was, last I heard) involved with Second City Improv in Chicago - it's nice to see him hobnobbing with the goat of the NFC Championship game.
