Varitek an Oriole in 2009?!?

PrintMatt Eagan of the Hartford Courant seems to think so:
The Red Sox have at least one tough offseason decision to make. Jason Varitek has been the soul of the team for a decade. but he is now a steady drain on their efforts to score runs. The Sox have been wisely unsentimental in the Theo Epstein years. They'll make the captain an offer but won't overpay. Fans should expect to see Varitek getting a standing ovation at Fenway while wearing an Orioles uniform next season. Why the Orioles? Who else would overpay for a 36-year-old catcher? ...

Oh, Matt. Based on the other comedic gems found in your blog post, it seems that you fancy yourself as something of a comedian. Hah hah. I guess the O's have a reputation for overpaying old, washed-up Red Sox players after they signed Millar and... uh, no one else.

Eagan is apparently not a student of the game.
Matt Wieters, Eagan. Matt f*cking Wieters. But thanks for proving right off the bat you don’t know jack shite about baseball outside of Fenway Park. Way to rep Pink Hat Nation, toolbag.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words—"mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

Wow.
This might be the dumbest thing I’ve read today. And I read a lot of political sights. ‘Tek to the O’s? Really?

i thought it was funny
Seriously, the guy doesn’t think Tek will sign with the Orioles, it was just a pot shot at a team that sported Kevin Millar and Melvin Mora and Jay Payton and…
Librarians are hiding something
i mean, Timlin was good the last few years
He fell off the cliff at age 42, which they probably could have (and maybe even did) see coming, but it’s not as if the guy was a stiff at age 41. He’s had a mostly good run, and now its probably over.
And, uh, the dude got us Chris Richard? Yay?
Let's do it
Varitek may be over the hill, but those intangibles that he has are important.

probably like, 100
All from Varitek. Oh-for-five with three strikeouts, Oh-for-four with four K’s, etc…..
Wait
why was this front-paged? This is non news to the point of being ridiculous…

There should be a "humor" section
"This world extends way beyond this little field of dreams we're dancing in and I want to see that world"
On defense and providing targets with the glove alone
Varitek would still be better than Ramon Hernandez.
But it’s still really funny.
Maybe
But if we are looking to bring in a new catcher (and why would we be); I think we should set our sights a bit higher than someone a little better than Hernandez.

how much longer until wieters is ready?
i think in 2010 baltimore is going to be a team to really mess with and make the division a 5 team race
He's got to get significant playing time in 2009

he should probably start in 2009
But I bet he stays down in Norfolk for a couple months, destroys, and then comes up
someone that knows nothing
who ever came up with Varitek as an Oriole knows nothing about baseball
