***HAS SCOTT BORAS GONE OVER THE LINE...AGAIN?***
Teixeira to Boston. Teixeira to Boston. That's all everyone has been saying. However, Thursday, Boston officials flew to Texas to meet face-to-face with Boras and Teixeira. Late last night, owner John Henry sent an e-mail to the Associated press, saying "The Red Sox are NOT going to be a factor" in the acquisition of Teixeira. He said that after listening to the "other offers" it was apparent the Sox weren't going to pursue him. The Angels, Orioles, Nationals and the Yanks were all purported to be interested. It turns out there is another: The BMT (Boras Mystery Team). This 'team' always makes a high bid whenever Boras needs it. Has Scott gone over the line? With Scott Boras, there is no line.
***ANOTHER ODE TO GREED***
"The Journey of Rafael Furcal"
Rafael Furcal wanted to leave LA,
So he declared free agency and went on his way.
He presented his talents that all the teams eyed,
But their hopes were all dashed when their offers were denied.
The Padres made an offer, Furcal said he might take,
But no one believed him: His interest was a fake.
The Braves offered a deal to which he couldn't say no,
Then his agent rejected it 'cause he wanted more dough.
Atlanta was offended, they said "You agreed!"
But the agent just laughed. You know it was greed.
Now lo and behold, He's back with LA,
"Cause it's what he wanted all along" (someone who'd pay).
