haha mickeef is so superstituous, i remember he wouldn't talk ANY shit about the yankees collapse in 04 till the world series was over

no that's what a ballpark full of bandwagoners sound like

he's not as great as he was 5 years ago but when you consider the inconsistency of most closers in the league i'd be hard pressed to call him a gamble

i dont think it matters, they both get plenty of playing time anyway

i wish, i really want to go go to england anyway, seeing a giant game there would be gravy

that's fine, i wont be surprised at all if the colts beat the pats, the colts are an amazing team--im just saying the better team doesn't always win in football

you guys seriously think the colts are better than the pats?????

what a joke, colts ahead of the pats?

bah, and my brown for rudi johnson preseason trade was working out so well too.

i don't disagree w/ that logic (for similar reasons i feel joba chamberlain should stay in the pen), if they deviate from that policy though and want to make papelbon a starter i think going after rivera is a great move.

Well once he was in the pen i can understand not messing around with anything for the rest of the season, but the sox have totally abandoned making him a starter in the future?

nah, unless there's some option im not aware of his deal w/ the rangers was only for 1 year

true, but if he wasn't pissed off at the yankees a week ago, he definitely is now after the wya they handled torre. im sure if the money is even he'd stay but i'm suggesting the bosox would be smart to offer him a pile of money and make him an offer he can't refuse

is it me or is rivera the perfect target for the bosox this offseason? not only are you taking him away from the yanks but it will (in all likelihood) keep joba in the bullpen, giving the yanks yet another starting pitching spot they'll have to try to fill with this awful SP market, plus you can move papelbon to the rotation (like they've wanted to for two years) and take schilling's spot. i'd rather spend that money on mo than schilling. am i nuts here or is this a no-brainer?

if it makes you feel any better we had no shot at gallery at all. the chargers weren't going to trade us the pick, they were only willing to draft eli and trade him to us so we wouldn't take gallery #1 overall--and the raiders were never going to let him slip past 2

pleeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaase

ugh, i feel you man, time doesn't heal this season's wounds at all

im totally down with pacman on the giants. his behavior does not override the type of talent that guy has--at least not to me.

he will opt out and the yanks will still bid for him. the yanks are bluffing 100% to try and save themselves 20 mil, but in the end they aren't going to let 20 mil stop them when they are talking about a 300 mil contract

he turned it down

he's the man. especially when he took c. vivian stringer to school

the giants would never give him what he stands to receive. my guess is he ends up in dallas

well that's the yanks now. i mean any team that makes the playoffs every year has that potential IMO

no one's winning 3 or 4 in a row in the revenue sharing era

normally i'd agree, but the free agent pitching market is so horrendous that the demand for him will probably be astronomical--especially with so many high payroll teams who need pitching
