Evidently the whole GM thing is harder than it looks

Al:
Cody Ross! C'mon down, you're the next contestant on the Red Sox Price the Plight!

Doug:
Dudes, tell me we didn't just trade Scutaro for Cody Ross?!?!

 

---

Mike:
Hey, quit your bitchin.... what you're witnessing is a new, groundbreaking strategy coming to fruition — trade a perfectly viable starting position player to strengthen your bench!

 

---

Al:
Oh, right — "Stoneyball!"

Doug:
I can't wait for the movie. Russell Brand plays the much maligned but always happy GM.

 

---

Al:
And cast that Indian dude from the Whitecastle movies to play his plucky assistant.

'Price the Plight'. Good one, hb. I wish I knew WTF this team was/is trying to accomplish with these moves.

The only positive I can find is that Ross is decent against lefties. Not great. Decent.

And he has a wimpy name. There, I said it.

[Go Sox, Go Heels, etc.]

He had one hell of a half of a season in 2007. But don't worry, Bobby V has a way of discovering hidden talent. Coincidentally, most of the talent on the 2012 roster is well hidden.

riveting moves.

I hope Cherington's middle and end games are stronger.

PTI but I don't have Jeff's email. Eddie Vedder, Mystikal and Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band added.

somehow I think Jonah Hill finds his way on screen for this sequel.

BTW - Is Dante Bichette still available?

[Harwich Rich]

heh-he said hard.

[Rob in CT]

On the plus side, I don't have to stare at a certain Yankee catchers double chins anymore. So I got that going for me anyway.

By the way, "Stoneyball" made me smile.

[Bob]

Can we officially refer to this as The Tepid Steam Tray season?

[soxdownunder]

@ Bob: or the luke dutch oven?
