NICOLE CATÁ (New York, New York)
We’d like to cover two lines of business today at BOTO. First, we bid a hearty farewell to Devon, handkerchiefs in hand and tears in our collective eye, as he travels to a resort in Argentina via a 22-hour bus ride from Buenos Aires. It seems that a volcano in Chile, which hadn’t demonstrated measurable activity in thousands of years, saw fit to erupt weeks before our beloved co-writer’s flight to South America, only to shower nearby Argentina with volcanic ash. BOTO wishes Devon a wonderful two weeks, and expresses the utmost confidence in his co-writer’s ability to man the fort, but not in the Urban Dictionary sense of the phrase.
Riveting news on BOTO’s favorite rivalry after the jump:
We now return to our ongoing coverage of America’s favorite pasttime: sabotage. It seems that Nicole’s suggestion for BOTO Pick for Favorite Construction Worker was well-founded, as Gino Castignoli claims to have buried an official scorecard from the 2004 Yankees-Red Sox American League Championship Series underneath the concrete of the new Yankee Stadium’s foundation. In his noble quest to stymie the Steinbrenners, Castignoli refuses to disclose the whereabouts of this memorabilia. BOTO insiders expect the scorecard to be found next to Jimmy Hoffa’s remains, but hope that the Yankees will let sleeping scorecards lie rather than ripping through three feet of concrete to search the entire area for buried treasure - or do they? Indeed, some of us at BOTO would prefer that the Yankees allocate their money toward such a fruitful endeavor, as opposed to, say, signing free agents.
It goes without saying that BOTO prefers to focus on sensational rivalries rather than dwelling on the fact that both New York baseball teams are currently below .500, which is depressing for all parties involved.
