Music to my ears

A friend who happens to be a Redsock fan writes:

"The Evil Yankees are back. The Sox will unload Betts and JBJr. and sink back to pathetic and cursed. That's our comprehensive marketing strategy."

Those words, those wonderful words...

"The Evil Yankees are back..."

Do we dare believe?

So why are we stopping at Cole?

Beauregard Jackson Pickett Burnside said...

Exactly. We need tow blockbuster signings to get my ear back to the radio.

Some people are talking Andujar for Lindor—do we do that?

Others, about acquiring Marte.

I would do both of those, I think. And think about Bumgarner.

Duque, one name left off your blessedly long list of starters was Mike King. I have high hopes for him (again).

Nothing runs rampant as wildly as December optimism among Yankee fans.

Think back: Were you really, really happy when they signed A-Roid?

Do you mean to say that my "Gulf of Tonkin" negative Ju-Ju worked?

Friend of Local Bargain Jerk said...

You should not have Red Socks fan friends.

Sadly, Joe FOB, yes, I was really, really happy when they got A-Rod.

I actually remember thinking, "Wow, now we're going to win the next 7 World Series." It seemed impossible that we would not, adding him to the lineup.

In fact, I had taken my eye off the ball. That same winter, the Yanks had also signed Gary Sheffield instead of Vlad Guerrero, and let over 700 lifetime wins walk off the team for nothing.

Had we got Vlad instead of Gary, merely re-signed Pettitte, and NOT traded Yhancey Brazoban, an obscure reliever, to the Dodgers for Kevin Brown...we would have won it all that year. But that's baseball.

Not until I hear the gnashing of teeth and the lamentations of women all across MLB!

Yes I was. They did get one championship out of him. We just were all greedy and wanted more. If we get just one title out of cole it will worth all of Hal's unearned, tax-free money

LOVE THE "GULF OF TONKIN" NEGATIVE JU-JU...

IT GOT US COLE!

...BUT I THINK IT'S MORE REALISTIC WE GO BACK TO COUNTING "COUCH CUSHION" CHANGE FOR THE NEXT 5 -7 YEARS (GOD FORBID).

EITHER WAY...WE REJOICE TODAY.
