Let's Get Physical

For a guy who wants to write about the Yankees, I sure do spend a lot of time on the Red Sox.
As the story goes, Red Sox reliever Guillermo Mota failed his physical, thereby sending the Sox back to the drawing board to try and complete the trade for Coco Crisp. The best part of all this is that the Red Sox, when acquiring Mike Lowell, Josh Beckett and Mota in a trade with Florida, did not have the 3 Marlins undergo physicals but instead relied on medical documentation to evaluate the player's health. And now we come to find, through the thorough investigation by Indians physicians, that Mota isn't up to par. So not only do the Red Sox get stuck with damaged goods, but they likely will have to part with another prospect (rumored to be Manny Delcarmen possibly) to complete the trade for Coco. If this is all true, and I'm inclined to think it is unless Larry Lucchino's quotes were made up, then the Red Sox organization, through their actions, continuously show why they are light years behind the Yankees, and have only won the World Series once in the last 87 or so years. Maybe it's not just Theo in a gorilla suit? Maybe there really is a gorilla pulling all the strings in the Sox organization? Ladies and gentleman, I'd like to introduce you to our new GM: It's Magilla Gorilla!! And here is our Assistant GM: Grape Ape!! It's like the ending to that failed Fox reality show "My Big Fat Obnoxious Boss." A monkey in a suit making random decisions to decide the fates of all involved. How can anyone feel good about the Red Sox front office? It's a comedy of errors, one after another.
All I can do is laugh and shake my head in amazement. It's one of those laughs that make your belly hurt.
