What happens when the normally super-dependable Marc Normandin is whisked away by dental surgery? Why Jason Wojciechowski ably steps in in his stead and Matt and Jason talk for a half hour about garbage. Then baseball. But once they get down to it, they get down to it. KNOWWHATIMSAYN?

OK, enough of that. This is a baseball podcast. We talk about baseball. Eventually. We talk specifically about the deadline deals that the Red Sox and the A's engaged in, then move on to discussing the moves that Oakland A's GM Billy Beane made over the previous off-season, moves which impact the Red Sox both directly and indirectly. It's an off-the-cuff, funny ha-ha 60th Over The Monster Podcast!
