I didn't take the pledge
The no-baseball talk until February pledge, that is.
I'm mostly approaching the question of Jesus Montero's future with the Yankees organisation as an exercise in headline possibilities, especially for the New York Post and the New York Daily News.
Assuming they do bring him up from AAA, we can look forward to Yanks Bring up Jesus or some variation thereof.
However, if the Evil Empire signs Russell Martin, the question becomes what to do about Montero. I gather not everyone in New York is happy with the prospect of the older Martin as starting catcher, while keeping Montero in the wings would be increasingly difficult. What then could be a more devastating headline than Yankees Trade Jesus?
What a pity Miroslav Satan doesn't play baseball. Then the Yankees could trade Jesus for Satan, as is right and proper.

On the other hand/in the other glove, the Boston papers have to a one set up the fantasy that the Yankees will be a terrible and the Sox will be grand. That looks like assured dashed hopes. Even though the Sox can no longer pretend that they too don't try to buy those little flags, what happens when we purchase the very best (we claim) and don't deliver? Oh, I guess the ticket prices go up again.
But then, a quorum of Red Sox fandom thrives on dashed hopes...Yankee masochism, that.
Jon Keller was excellent on the question of the Red Sox buying talent like the Yankees. *Not* like the Yankees, says he, because our motives are noble and our hearts are pure. I hope he gets his tongue unstuck from his cheek soon ;)
