A Couple Guffaws
Does anyone find this explanation of the Dodgers' acquisition of Furcal entirely too believable?
The Dodgers are awesome. You really have to respect a team that has no regard for things like market value, player evaluation and basic economic principles. That Furcal deal . . . way to go!!! Top notch. I mean how do you pay an overrated shortstop (who the Braves were so disappointed in they almost traded away a year and a half ago) $13 million a year, when Burnett is only going to get 10 and Nomar 8? The only thing I can figure is that the Dodger's brass, sans GM, went out for mimosa's and pizza shooters. Somewhere around the 9th round of drinks Lasorda, picking his teeth with a straw, suggested, "Hey guys, you know what would be fun? Let's sign what's-his-face to play shortstop for us. The little guy, Farcho, from that other team." Without hesitation everyone let out a "WHO-rah" and drunkenly text messaged over an offer to his agent:Back in the Bay Area, where Times columnists don't get circulation, Philip Michaels struts a bit over the goddamned scary verisimilitude of his Plaschke column. It's too long to quote, but trust me, it's terrifyingly funny.TXT MSG FROM DODGERS 11:58PM:
WE LUV FARCHO!!! 13 MILLIONES a year. He runs FAST. LOL!
TTYL!
