My Beloved Milwaukee Brewers are out of contention and beginning to sell of veterans for prospects..

I propose a trade in which we send Carlos Gomez back to the Twins along with Scott Walker for a Lieutenant Governor and two minor league pitchers. Then, the Twins can just release Walker and everyone's happy! Whaddya think Twins fans?

No. We have crazy Republicans here too who just might pick Walker up - not a risk I'm willing to take.

I would propose that his trade and release be conducted via a neutral state., Michigan. We could meet at the border of all three states and release him there.

Never to the Wisconsin border, but I did probably six miles once. And that time, I did have cross country skis on.

We would have to insist on a transaction at the All Star break. July is a fine month for release. Although the Coast Guard would probably have something to say about illegal dumping...
