Butch Hobson's Choice
Well, folks, you've got two briefcases left to choose from—Number 61 and Number 64. Bobby Valentine or Gene Lamont. Mr. Excitement versus Mr. Comatose. Sizzle versus Steak. Apple versus Windows. The 'nationwide' search is complete and this is what we're left with? You have to hope that Grand Master Flash (Larry Lucchino) has set his secret plan into motion. Having failed to pry John Farrell from The Great White North, he's content to ride out the next two years (dare we call them 'bridge' years?) with The Back Up Plan. Then, in 2014, when Farrell can fly the Blue Jay coop, he makes his triumphant return. Yikes!
