Also you forgot David Wells trade where Kenny got a different player then he thought because of similar names. Some classic blunders are Todd Richie, Billy Koch, Royce Clayton, picking Rios off of waiver dump. Honestly, I would be happy to see them both go this off season.

I can only hope that Ozzie runs into the same shit storm that consumed Bobby Valentine, who purportedly is another “strong willed guy” whose strong will ran afoul of the very insecure Chihuahua and the now much-compromised Larry Beinfest, whose stature as some kind of genius has taken a vicious hit this Cretaceous-Tertiary season. If an articulate if sane and dignified Bobby Valentine couldn’t find common ground with this bunch, I gotta hope that Slobbering Ozzie won’t either. On the negative side, the high profile the repetitive idiocies of El Papaya Boca achieved in Chicago – which has a pretty quotidian logic by which it operates – would be subsumed into the magico realismo of Macondo, the dystopia that gave us Elian Gonzalez, the Joe Carollo election, the Humberto Hernandez trail, the shrinking palm trees of Manuel Diaz, Your Daily Corruption Scandal, the most lopsided mayoral and comissionarial recall elections in American history, the Macondo Banana Massacre Field public funding hijack, and drivers from a large unnamed island a hundred or so miles to our south.

What’s worse, a few more years of failure afield by the newly renamed Macondo Feesh would seem like nothing more than an extension of the fifty plus years of failure of the Cuban embargo and no one would notice.

Not that they notice now.

It will just mean I have to hunker down and figure out how to put up with the nonstop derision of the rest of you guys while Ozzie digs himself a sump and wallows in it and drags the Feesh to another wasted season.
