Hey Boston, How’s Ya Boy Wonder Doing Now?

The Yanks may be in first place, but the don’t fret Sawx nation you do lead the majors in one important stat…. Paying guys to play on other teams! That’s right! From the people who brought you Julio Lugos awful contract and John Smoltz’s NL resurgance comes Brad Penny…pitcher for hire! According to the Boston Herald, Brad Penny was granted his release from the Red Sox late Wednesday night. It’s becoming comical really. The Sox paid $19.5 Million for Lugo, Smoltz and Brady Penny. To put that in perspective the Marlins payroll is $36 million. So my question, as the post title implies, what do you think of Theo Epstein now?  Being a GM is really easy when you can afford, literally, to screw up.
