Bill:
So is Theo looking prescient for not signing Pedro now that it appears Petey is wearing out just when the Mets need him going into the playoffs?
Mike:
Well, any fleeting sense of vindication is erased once one recalls that Theo also signed Batting Practice Beckett. How's that working out as Pedro replacement?
Bill:
Fucking Beckett. I'm feeling like going all King Henry on his ass. "Who will rid me of this meddlesome priest?"
Mike:
Why can't Beckett be more like David Beckham, you know?
Bill:
You mean with a bendy pitch or something?
Mike:
No, I mean with a hottorific wife. I mean if Beckham totally muffs up on the pitch, at least the fans can be distracted by the exploits of Posh.
Bill:
You might be on to something. All this talk of VORP and OBP blah blah blah, but what the Sox really seem to be lacking are more spanktastic hot wives.
Mike:
Once again, Manny seems to be pulling his weight at least.
Bill:
Yeah, and then some. Heh.
