It’s the kids who always suffer.

Maybe it’s because I’m getting a bit tired of hearing so many trade rumors, but I’m feeling mighty childish/punchy today (more so than usual, anyway).

And maybe that’s why I find this this headline on ESPN to be hysterical:

“Rolen seeks trade; LaRussa won’t ‘please Scott’”

Now Scott, you knew very well going into this relationship that Tony had the reputation of being a bit stingy in that department. There’s a long line of guys that couldn’t convince LaRussa to please them. And trust me, they’ve tried everything. A box of Ferrero Roche chocolates, a pocket full of posies, won an MVP Award, posted his bail, and all were denied.

I don’t blame you for trying, though.

  6. Zvee Geffen Says:

    At a secret training facility rumored to be near Fort Myers, Red Sox GM Theo Epstein has handpicked two of his most trusted veteran pitchers to carry out a bold new mission. The exact goal of the classified program remains a mystery, but sources say that Epstein is determined to defend the team’s World Series title—-at any cost. This picture, taken by an anonymous source on a cell phone camera, is the first hard evidence to confirm the existence of such a program. Stay tuned throughout the day as we continue the search for answers.

    Wakefield, Timlin (pictured above), and rookie pitchers Buchholz, Matsuzaka, and Okajima (not pictured) are training vigorously for their off-season dodge ball team. “We have to keep the rookies on their feet. If you can dodge a crossbow, you can dodge a ball.”
