Boys Will Be Boys - The Boston Toronto Tango Edition

Just the other day we were breathlessly told that former Toronto coach Brian Butterfield, Pats fan extraordinaire and brilliant baseball mind, was being hired to become John Farrell's new third base coach for the local nine.  Now it's being reported that Butterfield is a candidate to be the new manager back in Toronto.  Is this the sandbox or The Show?!  I thought Alex Anthopoulos was a new breed of GM, someone who's risen from the mail room to the boardroom surly takes their job seriously right?  The petty and bumbling Haywood Sullivan's of the world are in the past, aren't they?

Alex are you feeling rejected and hurt by John Farrell's unrequited love for the Red Sox? Don't you know a 73-89 team needs to clean house?  Do you really want to keep a whole bunch of staff around from last year, didn't you see how that worked out for Bobby Valentine?

On the other hand, how many more ways can the Red Sox and John Farrell stick it to Toronto?  Not only did the Sox tank, they tanked so hard they actually have a better draft pick than Toronto in the upcoming draft.  Farrell has admitted to wanting to get out of Toronto almost as soon as he got in, he's taken their heir apparent Torey Lovullo as his new bench coach, and now he's raiding their cupboard again with this Butterfield thing. What, is Farrell going to go up there and raze cottage country now? 

The things that Patriots bye weeks, no NHL, MLB free agency not fully kicked off, and depressing thoughts of the Miami Heat marching to another NBA championship are made of.

Until next time,
