First of all, thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes. Very much appreciated.

OK, now it's time for our weekly (or so) medal ceremony. The judges have been working diligently to select their three winners.

Here are those winners:

--The bronze goes to Islander505, who responded to my analogy comparing Rangers officials to "Seinfeld's" Elaine Benes, when she tries futilely to downplay her interest in a case of Today Sponges:

--The silver goes to Richie G., who offered his unique take on the Yankees' big trade:

--And finally, the gold goes to Poppy, who checked after a good legal day for the Mets:

--Have a great day.
