So, am I the only one constantly refreshing [ESPN.com](http://ESPN.com) in order to find out what the big trades are today?

It’s 2.23pm and there’s less than 100 minutes for my beloved Phillies to do the right thing and trade Rico Brogna.

What trades are you waiting on?

I’m with you, brother.

I’m last in my fantasy league and anyone who comes over to the NL is automatically mine!

But I’m refreshing [cbs.sportsline.com](http://cbs.sportsline.com) as they update their transactions more frequently.
