Maybe it's just me, but I'm starting to get the same sense about this year's
trade deadline that I used to get at parties in college around 12:30 or so.
The night would start with such great anticipation, thinking there'd be some
good hooking up, what with all the talent in the room. As the night wore on,
though, it would became clear that nothing was going to happen, and
anticipation would slowly become frustration and then desperation. Eventually,
I'd just go home, feeling like I'd wasted an awful lot of energy for nothing.
(I'd extend the analogy by comparing, say, Brian Cashman and some girl I
wanted to know better back in 1993, but you just know her husband would be
reading this and I'd get sued.)
So why is this July turning into a bad re-creation of my college days? Blame
it on everyone and everything...
