Trade With Harry Costs Pleep Victory In MLB Monopoly

Things were off to a great start this morning for Pleep. First there was a nice hike on More Mesa with Oscar. Pleep enjoyed watching Oscar trying to catch rabbits and flush out the birds. Then everyone headed to the Parker backyard to enjoy the California sunshine. Oscar really enjoys laying around in the sun after the bunny chase.

The Parker boys suggested that a nice game of MLB Monopoly would be a good idea, especially because it was a very slow day in the California Baseball Nuts League. Pleep, flush from his recent victory over the Commish's team, was feeling lucky. He thought he had hit the big time when he landed on the NY Yankees and acquired them. Then he picked up the Padres, Texas Rangers, and the Giants. Things were looking very good for the Monkeybutters owner until all the properties were acquired and the trading started.

Pleep was very excited about all the trading but he forgot the rule - don't trade with Harry. In what he thought was a brilliant move, he traded the Yankees and the Red Sox (including one luxury box) to Harry. He did end up with a monopoly and cash but none of it lasted very long. Harry & Beau quickly dominated the game and squeezed Hanna out. At that point, Pleep deserted Peggy and joined up with Harry figuring it was the only way to salvage any chance of winning.
