Time now for the ridiculous, and tonight we're adding the ginger-jeer squad, the Crimson

Criticizers.

That's right, all the Redhead haters.

Good morning, and welcome to episode 207 of Effectively Wild, the Daily Podcast from

Baseball Perspectus.

I am Ben Lindbergh, with Sam Miller.

It just occurred to me that we will be taking next Monday off.

I know, I've been thinking about it for days.

Which means that we will not be on a multiple of five ending of the week pattern, as we have

been for what months now, it's been nice.

I actually have wondered whether you would sneak into the recording studio and record a

solo show and throw it up there, almost without telling me.

I'm not surprised that you think it would almost be worth it, and I think if you could

do it in under a half hour of time, I bet you will.

But what would you do?

What would you talk about all the time?

I don't know.

I'd have to get a guest to talk to, I guess.

No one would want to listen to me talk by myself, least of all.

Did you see the email from John about the hot seat?

Yes.

So should we go over that?
