Giants and slime
The Giants got better today by signing Moises Alou. Then again, this is a guy who got beat out for a fly ball by Steve Bartman.
The BIG DEAL between YANKEES, INC., (actually, maybe I’ll start calling them the Trumpees, since the team’s hubris would be a nice fit with that name) and the Cubiczirconiumbacks (win more than 51 games this year and maybe I’ll call you by your correct name) is back on the table. Of course, Vazquez is still part of the deal, which means the part about the Dodgers being genuinely concerned about Vazquez’s desire to stay on the East Coast because of his family is something that doesn’t matter to the folks in NYC and Phoenix. Slime. Look, I know the game is a business, but it was nice that at least one organization (The Dodgers) was willing to show some class, as pointed out in the Peter Gammons story I referenced in an earlier post.
