FW: Breaking News: Red Sox Replace GM

Too much free time. STOP.

FAT TONY:

Got your message. STOP.
Sending this telegram from the shore instead of e-mail. STOP.
Some good ideas, but no time to discuss opportunities with the big club. STOP.
Busy wiping Larry's ass right now. STOP.
Check in later. STOP.

Best,

The GM

: RE: Breaking News: Red Sox Replace GM

Hi Mr. Mullan ...

My name is Fat Tony from Grafton. Congratulations on your new job. I just wanted to drop a dime to let you know I have some great ideas for trades

Manny to the Devil Rays for Rocco Baldelli (think of the RI people that will flock to Fenway)

Take the money you save and sign Johnny Damon, Burnett and Barry Bonds.

Trade Olerud and Millar to St. Louis for Pujols (just think of the word play with Poo Holes (credit to TSG).

Trade Wells to the Mets for Pedro

Sign Hillenbrand and trade him to the Diamondback for Byung Young Kim and Troy Glaus

So you will have traded Manny, Millar, Olerud and Wells for a 1st baseman, 3rd Basement, a number 1 and 2 starters, left fielder and centerfielder.

What do you think?

BTW - in case you were wondering ... I have alligators in my mom's bathtub.

In case you were wondering ... I am considering leaving Cisco and getting into baseball full time ... whaddaya think about hiring. Except when drinking, I speak perfect Worcester English (should help you with the Blue Jays connection).

I could be your Josh Brynes.

The Red Sox have announced that Jeff Mullan, an obscure real estate lawyer from Milton, has been named to replace Theo Epstein as Sox GM according to news reports by WBZ and WHDH-TV. Mullan is said to have been stalking Larry Lucchino for years, beginning with a chance meeting at Camden Yards in 2002. When asked for comment, Mullan simply said "It's my time, my moment."

A news conference to discuss the development has been called for Mullan's office on the Boston waterfront at 1:00 today --Developing story
