So it's come to this.
Apparently Boston Red Sox owner John Henry got mad and is further delaying the Theo Epstein to the Cubs deal because of "premature media reports"?
Sit back and put yourself in the shoes of one of the owners of the Boston Red Sox.
Your team gags at the end of the season and doesn't even get in the playoffs - the biggest slow motion choke in the history of baseball.
Your manager leaves amid rumors of pill popping and perhaps a lack of leadership.
You hear rumors your team was ordering Popeye's and drinking in the clubhouse during games.
And your general manager wants to leave what was just a couple years ago a world championship team and organization to go to the biggest loser franchise in baseball.
John Henry's not mad about any stupid premature media reports.
He's mad because his toy broke and he's lashing out.
So I heard that old faithful Bud Selig may go be the adult at the negotiations and save the day.
Whatever.
Honestly, I can't' wait to hear what the hangup turns out to be, and surely the Cubs won't be portrayed very well either.
My guess is it will be something unbelievably silly.
