Buttmando Smoke Screen

To my loyal readers (or should I say, more recently, picture gawkers):

I have tried to show my disdain for Buttmando on this blog in order to drive down his price, and possibly secure him for my own dasterdly purposes in BABI in last night's auction. This strategy never reached its go point, as I saved enough money on Harang on auction day, so I would not get tempted by the considerable appeal of our Buttman. Instead, I bought sure-thing Billy Wagner to keep me in the middle of the pack in saves (until one of my two St. L relievers picks up the slack, after Izzy goes down).

I still couldn't let Buttmando go cheaply, so price enforced him all the way to the end, and then cut bait...gleefully.

It doesn't matter who ended up with him...just not me.

More on the auction some other time. Just thought I'd give you a glimpse into the extent of my duplicity.
