<div>With the Nukes' stunning decision to cut Jason Kipnis, I thought it appropriate to reprise one of my favorite songs from the 2011 season:<br><br>with apologies to the BTO.....</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I wake up every morning</div>
<div>To my Rotoworld warning</div>
<div>I see that my team is still shitty</div>
<div>There's the Red Hots up above</div>
<div>Jeffrey shows <span class="il">me</span> no more love</div>
<div>Is there a player anyone could just give <span class="il">me</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div>My roster's just a crime</div>
<div>I can't even beat Klein Nine</div>
<div>Don't even know which guys I should play</div>
<div>But there's that nice young Jewish boy</div>
<div>And even though I'm just a goy</div>
<div>For him I'd <span class="il">trade</span> my whole team away</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Will you <span class="il">trade</span> <span class="il">me</span> <span class="il">Jason</span> <span class="il">Kipnis</span> -- right now- today?</div>
<div><span class="il">Trade</span> <span class="il">me</span> <span class="il">Jason</span> <span class="il">Kipnis</span>--I will pay!</div>
<div><span class="il">Trade</span> <span class="il">me</span> <span class="il">Jason</span> <span class="il">Kipnis</span>-he's all mine!</div>
<div><span class="il">Trade</span> <span class="il">me</span> <span class="il">Jason</span> <span class="il">Kipnis</span>--and don't tell Andy Klein!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Work out!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'd be hopin' and wishin'</div>
<div>Just to hear that Winick bitchin'</div>
<div>If I could make a deal for that fellow</div>
<div>He's as good as Alomar</div>
<div>Though he doesn't spit as far</div>
<div>The thought just makes my knees turn to jello</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The guys would see <span class="il">me</span> havin' fun</div>
<div>Even with that Adam Dunn</div>
<div>Tell them that I just made a <span class="il">trade</span></div>
<div>It's only Klein I must avoid</div>
<div>But Jeff would be so damn annoyed</div>
<div>Cos I'd just <span class="il">trade</span> my whole team away</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Will you <span class="il">trade</span> <span class="il">me</span> <span class="il">Jason</span> <span class="il">Kipnis</span> [refrain]</div>
