I am currently blogging – here, on Facebook, and on Twitter (hash tag #BNBlogathon for those who want to jump into the fray themselves) – for 40 hours straight, past MLB’s July 31 Trade Deadline and through the Cubs/Cardinals game Wednesday night, thanks to your generous donations to Make-A-Wish. I’ll be doing recaps on the process throughout the day, but you’ll also see normal posting (Bullets, news, Pre-Gamin’, EBS, etc.), as well as a significant uptick in rumor/trade posts.
Total Posts So Far:
32.

Shooting the BS about Whit Merrifield, Cardinals want starting pitching, and zzzzzzzzzzzzzz …

Starbucks triple shot can thingy or whatever. It’s fine. Not great. It’ll do.
