Always much appreciated when you tune in, especially in seasons like this and a losing streak

I feel your pain.

Don't forget, you can also read my work on ESPN.com.

In fact, I have a story up now about the commander's trade deadline options focusing on, of course,

Don't forget one little programming note.

I will be doing the live stream show at 7.30 Eastern Time on Tuesday night.

I'll be doing it flying solo there, folks.
