Today's Leaf links focus on three things: Reimer (stop), the team's recent surge in the 'W' column (move up), and who will go at the trade deadline (move out). As a result, if your article was left out, don't feel bad; everyone's just writing about the same stuff these days, and it's a good thing. It means we're winning and that it's obvious why. (The flip-side to this is when everything is going wrong, and we're all trying to prescribe a fix. Let's just revel in this while it lasts.)
Check out this article from Jonas Siegel over at at AM 640. There are a few good quotes on the trade landscape, on Ronnie's 600th win, Reimer, the win-streak, as well as Crabb and Boyce. Here's a sample:
"It’ll heat up closer to the deadline, it does every year. But I don’t see a pronounced increase in activity for us. I've been working the phones really hard. Like I said the other day, my phone bill for the last two weeks could feed a small country. It’s really hard in a cap system. We haven’t been able to come up with anything that makes sense and obviously it takes some pressure off if the team is winning."
This and more, after the jump.

More from Duhatschek: "That’s just common sense," explained coach Ron Wilson, of the decision to keep Reimer around. "We’ve got some momentum here. We’re not going to toy with that kind of karma."
