In case you haven't already heard the joyous news, Fatboy has been traded to Florida Marlins
for a minor league pitcher, a pint of cuban-style black beans and an old dishrag. Bless their
hearts for their generosity by throwing in the minor league pitcher when we all know the
beans and dishrag would have been plenty by themselves!
Sure, we paid the Florida to take Fatboy off our hands, but who cares? This is a classic case
of addition by subtraction. Sure, he might end up saving a bunch of games for the Marlins this
year. Sure, our new closer (Hennessey?) or closer by committee might end up blowing more
games than 'Mando would have. But, really, who friggin cares? At least the new closer(s) can
blow saves with substance, class and humility. These guys officially have a free pass for the
rest of the season since no one expects much from them anyway. We're all just ecstatic to
see Blownitez long gone.
(Oh yeah, the Giants lost again to the Mets 4-2 last night, but right now, who really cares?
Fatboy is outtttttttaaaaaaa heeeeeeeeerre!)
Ray Ratto had a great article about the situation today:
