Just another ho hum day at the office
Wow. I leave the park last night pretty convinced that the Dodgers weren't gonna make a move of any real magnitude, then later get a call to fill in for an ill Steve Mason for 710 ESPN's Mason and Ireland Show (and not to pimp myself out in too blatantly obvious a fashion, but you wanna listen to John Ireland and I discuss a certain topic, hit the "hourly podcast" link). "Why the heck not," I figure. I might end up missing Joe Torre talk, but I can find out the high points later, since it's not likely to be anything all that exciting.
Clearly, my "intuition" signals got crossed on this one.
Oh, and for those who still can't figure out what I'm alluding to... Manny Ramirez was traded to the Dodgers.
So anyway, I didn't get a ton of copy from Torre, but I'm sure there will be plenty of thoughts will be shared down the very near road. There's a little bit of audio of Torre and Nomar Garciaparra (who played with Manny, if you recall) below, but like I said, I plan to track down more thoughts tonight and onward.
Oh, before anyone freaks out, the kooky lineup is out of design, not Torre thinking outside the box. Andre Ethier has a stomach bug and Jeff Kent hurt his left knee on a slide trying to break up a double play last night. Thus, the presence of both Pablo Ozuna and Andruw Jones.
See y'all at the live blog.
