Red Sox Manager Search Turns into Kim Kardashian’s Marriage
DATELINE: HUMOR!
The Red Sox managerial nuptials are taking about as long as Kim Kardashian needs to find out she married the wrong man.
With thousands of suitors, the Red Sox checked the field, played the field, and found the field was overrun with gopher balls.
Between the time Kris Humphries married Kim and she divorced him, the Red Sox have changed their socks more often than NBPA negotiators met with ownership.
Kim Kardashian combed the wilds of football and basketball before she found the tallest manchild in the Promised Land. The Red Sox have combed the yellow pages of managerial candidates to find no one.
The Red Sox ownership has a trousseau only slightly less gaudy than the dowry demanded by the Kardashian family. Their standards are lower than a benched basketball center.
