As for business of baseball stuff: is it wrong to gloat at Jim Duquette because I think his brother screwed up the Sox franchise? Two words: Mike Lansing. Ugh. Not that I think Omar Minaya will be that much better for the Mets - the Wilpons’ constant interference probably screws any GM’s chances there.
And the Washington Senators are back in business! Brilliant. (Okay, I know, the current Texas Rangers own the Senators name, but surely they don’t want to keep it. The Texas Senators? Only Kay Bailey Hutchison would approve.) It took a lot of arm-twisting of Peter Angelos to get them there, and it’s a shame it had to be publicly financed, but MLB screwed over the Expos franchise, and it’s time the franchise got moved out of limbo.
