SILLY SEASON - 12/9/2008

*** ...AND THE BEAT GOES ON***
The Sabathia saga continues. "CC wants to be a Dodger" - Dodgers. "We're still in it." - Brewers. "We're kickin the tires" - Red Sox. "We're waiting for Teixeira" - Angels. "$$$$$$$" - Yankees
Sabathia's had lunch with the Red Sox, the Dodgers and the Yanks (twice). How many shrimp cocktails can you eat? Cashman has brought in the big guns - Reggie Jackson. For what? To discuss the name of the candy bar? Knowing Reggie, it'll be "CC AND ME".

...And the rest of the field:

***A LOT OF CLOSERS***
Only one buyer - the Mets

***A LOT OF CORNER OUTFIELDERS***
A few buyers - Cubs, Rays & Mets

***DETROIT DUMPING EVERYONE***
They were great last year...on paper. I guess Leland ran out of magic.

***GREG COTE OF THE MIAMI HERALD***
"I googled 'better late than never" and got a picture of OJ Simpson"

***WHAT'S THE SILLY SEASON WITHOUT SCOTT BORE-US***
One of the few suitors for Varitek has dropped out. "This improves Varitek's position," according to Scott. He can find a silver lining in anything. If they dropped an A-Bomb on Cleveland and killed millions, Scott would say: "Yeah, a lot of people died but look at all the space we have to bury them, now." Scott, please go home.
