I know, I promised an all decade team this week and I didn’t come through. But put this one in the bank, because I will have one ready for reading on Monday. I had a client call with a problem, and the chance to make some money trumps all. I’m not rich like Brian so I have to defer blogging to work.

And speaking of Brian, I have a funny story. He’ll kill me for saying this, but so be it. He’s made the threat before and I’m still here, so bring it on. Anyway, I was over his house to visit this holiday weekend, and if you know Brian, he keeps his office a mess. It was in even more cluttered because he was “cleaning” it, and in order to clean it, he has to basically tear it apart. So he has all this stuff on his desk and I start making fun of him about it and going through the crap. I pull of a couple of books, and underneath are freaking bars of pure silver. At first I was impressed, but then I found out silver is only going for like $8.50 an ounce so it lost it’s luster (pun intended). But who has silver bars just sitting out on your office desk?

The Reds signed Tommy Phelps and Jimmy Journell to minor league deals. Nothing too huge here.

Check back Monday for the All Decade Team. I promise it’ll be there. And this promise is a real one, unlike the last one, which wasn’t real. Got it? Got it.
