RAMBLE ON
Bill Simmons strikes again, this time he's rambling...again (a good thing). As a Red Sox fan, he was amazed and very ungratified about the amount of time he wasted keeping track of the entire Alex/Manny trade that never happened. Part of his solace, though, is this:
Would the Sox have been better off with A-Rod and Magglio? Yeah, I think so. But Plan B (Manny and Nomar) isn't so bad. And I have no problem bringing either of those guys back, even after all this stuff -- Manny's too much of a space cadet to realize what happened, and Nomar's too much of a professional to tank the 2004 season. Especially a contract season. Besides, sulking interferes with his OCD.
