And so my first reaction was to check my phone and see where Ja-Marin was traded.

And then I realized he was talking about Jha Rule.

Because he performed, Tiki sent us a video of him performing.

And then I saw the video of him performing.

I will get some baseball coming up, including the fact that the Mets have signed yet another former Yankee.

I want to play a clip of Mike Brown because he was very impassioned,
