I am your host, Brad Rowland.

It is Monday evening, early evening, I should say, and we're actually recording this before

the Braves play baseball tonight, which is not normally how we would handle things, but the trade

deadline expired at 4 p.m.

And to chronicle all that did not happen in advance of the deadline, Eric Cole is here to

lament what transpire. Hello, sir. Brad, as always, I look forward to having the internet

yell at both of us, as well as the team for on all spectrums both as being

you know just sick a fancants for the team that just want to apologize as well as for hating

the team i'm sure we will hear from both after this podcast and i'm ready for it yeah that's absolutely

the case uh i made a joke about this on Twitter on Monday morning,

but I got accused by noon of carrying the water for ownership and Alex Anthopolis, which I thought

was hilarious given my track record of not doing that. And then by the end-

Known optimist, Brad Rowland. Yeah, and by the end of the day, you and I are both convinced that we're going to be accused of being

haters or being too negative on this podcast.

So, what's coming?

The truth's somewhere in the middle, but alas, here we are.
