Theo Takes His Cut

With the Red Sox and Angels scheduled to open the season in Japan, Sox GM Theo Epstein took the opportunity to take a shot at the Yankees yesterday.

"Kevin Brown and Mike Mussina spent the whole time bitching about it ... by the time the Yankees team got back from the trip they were all using it as a crutch."

"The research that we did on the Japan trip from the teams that have gone previously," Epstein said, "is one or two bad apples can spoil the lot. As long as we keep the Brown-and-Mussina approach from infiltrating our clubhouse, I think (we) will get out of it as a team-building experience."

We think we can speak for all Yankees fans when we say, "shut your hole Theo!". We won't even comment on Kevin Brown, who was and is a dirtbag in our book. And we know Moose can be a baby, but he's our baby, and we'll be the ones to rag on him.

Theo, you know damn well you have had steroid users in that clubhouse, you have the Queen Bitch in Schilling, and the laziest player in baseball in Manny. So once again, from all of us...
