Season 2, Show 15

Welcome to The Can of Corn, hosted by Michael Stephens and Nate Davis! A perfect game and a big-time trade - what more could you ask for (other than a slew of injury news, Cafe talk and games)? Nothing at all! This week, we’ve added a new section dealing with our own personal trades in a shameless attempt to get more listener contact with the show, as well as some rookie talk about guys not named Ricky and Colby! We are short on the injury news this week, as many people are not returning from injuries lately, but what we lack in ” news” we promise to more than make up for with our constant need to make everything a head-to-head battle/competition! Next week, we’ll hope to increase our e-mail total from four, to more (thanks Mike), but in the meantime, grab your glove and head for the outfield - here comes The Can of Corn!
