Among all the Reasons to be glad you are not a Red Sox fan, here's another . . .
If you haven't had a chance to read The Chief's Dan Shaughnessy Watch (we read him so you don't have to), take some time now to do so. If you are a Red Sox fan, there's a pretty good chance you knew what was coming. If not, please refer back to the title of this posting. In his most recent post, The Chief lists 22 different Dan-isms, quotes from Shaughnessy that either contradict one another outrageously or totally fly in the face of common sense.
"How could anybody miss that butt?" (on Shawn Estes' attempted beaning of Roger Clemens, Boston Globe, June 16, 2002)
In his most recent column, Shaughnessy really has the pulse of Red Sox Nation with some breaking news:
"The betting here is that the Sox won't trade Ramirez and he'll arrive late in Fort Myers. We'll write a million stories about the disgruntled Manny, and at the end of September he'll have 40 homers and 130 RBIs to go with a .320 batting average."
I wonder how many hits he received on Google when he was trying to figure out what to predict about Manny's behavior and stats next season. I wouldn't exactly classify that search as a googlewhack, people! (There's my plug for googlewacking. It's kinda neat, a decent way to waste a half hour online.)
OK, back to Shaughnessy. I must say, he does bring a newsworthy story to us today. It seems that Manny is not only selling his condo at the Ritz-Carlton, he has also sold a bunch of his Red Sox stuff to a local memorabilia merchant. Here is what the merchant, Phil Castinetti, had to say to Dan about his visit to Manny's condo:
"Anyway, the guy called me and I went to Manny's house and Manny was there. I got the house tour before anybody else and he had stuff everywhere. Game-used jerseys and bats and gloves and cleats and baseballs. What a place. Manny's wife wasn't there. I think she'd already gone to Miami. Manny said he's been approached by a New York collector, but he wanted to keep the stuff around Boston. I asked him if he wanted to leave the Red Sox and he said, 'No, I'm staying right here.'"
Red Sox fans, let's take that for what it's worth!
