Maybe The Sox Dealt With The Wrong LA Team

(Robert Gauthier, L.A. Times)
In a wide-ranging interview with USAToday's Bob Nightingale, Angels owner Arte Moreno said something that caught our attention. What he said suggests that the Red Sox may have sent their Troubled Trio (plus Nick Punto) to the wrong Los Angeles team. Said Moreno over a breakfast meeting with Nightingale, "I love my beer. Beer makes me smarter.'' Obviously, Josh Beckett, Carl Crawford and Adrian Gonzalez would have fit right in with the owner of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, Orange County, California, United States of America, Earth, Milky Way. Although we should point out that Moreno did have a turkey—not chicken—omelette during his interview with Nightingale. Who knows, maybe BenCher just dialed the wrong SoCal area code last summer?
