'Tis the Season

Jason and I were somehow given emcee duty for today's holiday party at the Library. I wrote up a neat little script, we dressed as foolishly as we could within reason, and Jason proved to be the better public speaker as I peppered his steady narration with work-friendly zingers. A smash hit on all accounts.

Meanwhile, since yesterday's rant, the Red Sox:

Fired Bill Morgan, the doctor who sewed up Schilling's ankle and may have been more responsible than any player for the World Series win.

Let Pedro Martinez sign with the Mets, confident that David Wells can be a top-shelf #2 starter.

Further pursued Edgar Renteria, a cheaper Orlando Cabrera with less upside and no built-in fan base.

Let rumors spread about an absurd Manny Ramirez-Cliff Floyd trade with the Mets.

wtf?
