Dude. Boy Wonder’s back barely a week, and already he’s Kenesaw Mountain Landis. Guy made me get his coffee today. (Half & half, one sugar, for future ref.)
Had to X-Acto out Shaughnessy’s column before I gave him his Globe, too.

Think that’s bad? He made me get the effin’ gorilla suit dry-cleaned. Reeked of sweat and Bud Light after Hot Stove, Cool Music last week. Had to pay for it out of pocket, too. Says we need the extra cash to sign Gonzalez.

Yeah, maybe. Remind me later, after you get done combing today’s real estate listings for a new place for Manny.
Can you also call Sonsie and get a table for noonish? Meeting Gammo and Vedder to talk about the new record. (Think “Heart and Soul” is too sappy a title?)

See attached. What is *with* this guy?
I think I liked him better when he was a “social worker.”

No shit. Hey, his grandfather wrote Casablanca too, did you know that? BFD.
Remember when we were co-GMs? Man, those were a fun few weeks. We rocked those winter meetings.
Anyway, talk to you in a coupla hours. I gotta go help the work crews shovel out the old .406 club, then scrub Tito’s tobacco spit off the dugout floor.
