Lefty Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 The following took place over a 24 hour period. The people, places and statements...are all real: Yesterday 10:00 am Marlins: Oy, who wants to take Mike Lowell...Anyone? Rangers: He sucks. Marlins: Well what would it take to trade him? Rangers: Beckett Marlins: Ok Rangers: Really? Marlins: No. 2pm Marlins: You know we were joking, right? Rangers: No. So we can have Beckett? Marlins: Maybe. We want Hank Blalock and someone else. Rangers: Blalock and a pitching prospect? Marlins: Deal! Rangers: Really? Marlins: Actually, we should probably find out if anyone else is interested in our young, highly touted, flamethrowing World Series MVP. Rangers: Oh, ok well get back to us. Overnight Marlins FO: It seems like Boston is interested in Beckett now. They are offering a young, latino SS with pretty hair and great upside. Beinfest: That sounds like Andino. Samson: Who? Today 11am Marlins FO: We should probably start a firesale. Samson: No, I have a better idea! Let's pretend that we're starting a firesale to see who is interested. Marlins FO: We should ask Jeffrey first, don't you think? Samson: Guys, I'm in charge! 1pm Various news outlets: David Samson now in charge of Florida Marlins. mb.com: WHAT?! 1:03pm ... 1:15pm Various news outlets: Mystery team wants Beckett Admin: I like mysteries! 3pm Marlins: So, Blalock still on the table? Rangers: Yes, why? Marlins: I thought we were going to make a deal. Rangers: You never called me back last night... Marlins: Oh baby, I was with some friends. Rangers: Sure. 5pm Samson: Spanglish was an excellent movie that successfully incorporated ethnic issues as well as a darling romantic side story. Marlins FO: Huh? Samson: Oh, I was just saying how Boston's deal sounds good. Beinfest: I'm actually the one who makes those decisions. Samson: Perhaps you've forgotten--I'm in charge! Beinfest: No you're not. Samson: I'm not? Marlins FO: Texas won't budge. 6:30pm Marlins: We want Texeira and Soriano. Rangers: WHAT? Marlins: I'm just messing with you, silly. Rangers: F*ck this, you can keep Beckett.

Lefty Posted November 22, 2005 Author Share Posted November 22, 2005 (It's very late and I'm tired/exhausted. Don't judge me too harshly on the follow up) 7:25pm Loria: David! I leave for one day and look what you've done! Samson: You aren't my real father. You can't talk to me that way. Loria: I'm the god damn owner, you idiot! Samson: Fine, I'm telling mom. 7:30pm Samson (soliloqy): I can't believe I got those two prospects for Mike Lowell and a baseball pricing magazine. 7:45pm Gammons: Trade final. Lowell and Beckett to Boston for Edgar Renteria and Jon Lester. 7:46pm Gammons: Didn't realize the camera was on. Lowell and Beckett for Hanley Ramirez and Anibal Sanchez. 9pm mb.com: The night time is the right time...the night time is the right time... 9:30pm Marlins FO: Ok, we have to get rid of LoDuca and Pierre, and let Encarnacion and Gonzalez leave. Beinfest: What about Castillo? Marlins PR: No good, we need to maintain hispanic quota. Samson: You mean Easley isn't spanish? 10:30pm Boston: Why haven't you faxed over Beckett's file? Marlins: What are you talking about? We traded Lowell. Boston: The short guy said it was Beckett and Lowell. Samson: tee hee. 11pm Beinfest: Jeff, I don't know if I can do this anymore. Loria: I know it's tough, but the lack of fan support and city uncooperation just doesn't leave me any choice. Beinfest: No, I meant I can't figure out this rubik's cube. Been messing with it all day. 11:15pm Samson: John, we have to talk. Henry: Sure, what can I do for you? Samson: I made a booboo. I wasn't supposed to trade Beckett. Henry: I'm sorry, but the trade has been finalized. Samson: No, I can fix that. 11:20pm various news outlets: trade not finalized. details still being worked out 11:22pm Henry: David! Samson: It had to be done. He's too valuable to our team Henry: No, I am your father. Samson: What?! So you'll let me have Josh back? Henry: No. 12:30am Marlins: Delgado is on the trade block The entire universe: There's a shocker. 2am Boys and Girls Club: Get out now! Theo: I was only showing him where his belly button is! Tomorrow 7am various news outlets: Theo Epstein returns to Boston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
