Say it ain't so, Shapiro!

The hot rumor on the hot stove league has Coco Crisp going to the BoSox for Bronson Arroyo. This can't happen. My two year old son's favorite player is Coco Crisp. If the Indians trade him, his heart will be broken. Let's face it, if you raise your child to be an Indians fan you know his heart WILL be broken. But before his third birthday? When he is about to have a Very Coco Christmas? That is too much. I appeal to you Mr. Shapiro, don't do it.

  1. Say it ain't so!! This is just wack man! Well if it happens, me, as a responsible parent have to do one of two things - 1) teach our young son that you root for shirts not players or 2) ask Santa to pay for the mlb package on our cable so John can watch Coco play in Boston :-(

    Shaprio - get the dude you want and get Coco back - Don't hurt my baby's feelings!!

  2. His heart will only be broken if you TELL him that Coco is in Boston.........or insist that he remains an Indians fan! There is nothing wrong with him becoming a RedSox fan, as long as he lives for another 85 years!

    Looks like it was a false alarm.
