Boras/Dodgers Love

It just occurred to me that the Giants love Boras almost as much as they love the D-gers. Or is it the other way around?

I think the Giants just have to be pleased that all this Manny Ramirez dealing is giving others a sense that it's not only Barry Zito whom Scott Boras uses to pound headache deals into the lives of General Managers.

If the Giants are even remotely interested, it's good that they are acting nonchalant about this particular deal, especially in this economy.

If Ramirez was a priority to SF Sabean would probably have already overpaid him. Maybe 4yrs/$100MM.

For a guy the Giants are supposed to hate, they have given Boras alot of money over the years.

Other than the Yanks and Sox, has another team put as much cash in Boras’s pocket?

Vespasian

Bhaakon is quoting the Roman emperor Vespasian—“alas, I think I’m becoming a god”—who is a very good mascot for a baseball team: Vespasian set up public toilets and levied a urine tax, which is a fit metaphor for any franchise that sells stuff at high prices to necessitous people (such as diuretic beer); and he was known for his obsession with catching flies, admittedly the insect sort rather than the chased-by-Eugenio-Velez sort, but let that pass.

Handwritten on the flyleaf of my father's Latin primer

Latin is a language as dead as it can be
First it killed the Romans , now it’s killing me.
All are dead who spoke it
All are dead who taught it
All are dead who learned it
A happy death – they earned it!

OK if I adopt Randy Johnson?

I didn’t even notice the poorly buttoned shirt until you said something. Excellent.

Now now it’s not funny to laugh at the senile old man.
