wahhh we cant keep up with the yankees

cool mickeef, have fun in 3rd place again. Whose gunna close games for you? Craig hansen. Have fun, man.

to quote a great red sox fan, bill simmons "The Red Sox have gone in so many different directions over the past two seasons, I can't summon adequate reactions to their transactions anymore. No move seems to have any correlation to the last one. They claim they have a budget, then they toss $10-million-a-year contracts around like it's the year 2056. They claim they want to build something substantial for the long haul, then they deal quality prospects who end up thriving on other teams and keep ones who look positively terrible when they get called up. They claim to care about clubhouse chemistry, then they keep allowing popular players like Pedro, Damon, Lowe and Roberts to leave. They claim to value at-bats, on-base percentage and pitch counts, then they trade for a free swinger like Wily Mo Pena. They claim to understand which players would succeed in a baseball city as tough as Boston, then they keep bringing in players who aren't mentally tough enough to play there (Renteria, Suppan, Kim, Crisp, Clement and hopefully not J.D. Drew). They claim they don't want to overspend like the Yankees do, then they blow everyone else out of the water in the Matsuzaka bidding. They're all over the place. They really are. My head is spinning just from writing that last paragraph." If you dont get it after this paragraph, then forget it. Also dont try and act like they knew about mueller's knee. Thats not why they let him go.

Yesterday the New York Mets announced they will be sponsoring Bingo nights every Thursday after home games. Mets 1b Julio Franco will sponsor the event. Newly aquired OF Moises Alou will be attending the event along with Orlando Hernandez, who the Mets recently signed to a two year deal. Other retired Mets will soon be sent invitations for Bingo nights. The Mets also announced they have declined their option on Tom Glavine. A rare move on a part of these new look Mets as they look to get wiser and more mature. "I am kind of dissapointed that I am not in the Mets plans as of right now. This Bingo thing looks kind of cool," said Glavine, who will be turning 41 going into the 2007 season. "I just hope we can reach an agreement on a new deal."

yeah, he only won you a world series, and you guys moved on to mike lowell and josh beckett instead of keeping guys who are proven winners and stud rookies. Oh what do i know, you're all right. The sox moves all make sense. Everything they do makes sense. They dont spend a lot of money, they dont wanna keep their captain damon, they just bid insane amounts to talk to japanese guys, they dont want to win now, they're rebuilding, but they trade away rookies.

lowell in the first half made epstein look like a genius. Thats all though, he came back down to reality. I think i would rather have Anibal Sanchez (the kid who threw the no hitter) and Hanley Ramirez (the NL Rookie of the year) with Bill Mueller then paying all this money to Mike 'Average' Lowell and Josh 'I can only pitch against bad teams' Beckett.

sox let him walk. MISTAKE

only one pitcher is worth paying 20 mil a year for. His name is Johan Santana and 20 mil is a stretch for him

doesn't matter, we can crunch figures all day. Bottom line is almost half the teams in baseball dont have 50 mil to pay all their players let alone 50 mil to talk to a guy. Boston people, shut up. I'll quote Sean McAdam in an article, "Do the Gettys complain about the Rockefellers?"

the chants rang in... JOSE JOSE JOSE JOSE... JOOOOOSEEEE, JOOOOSSSSEEEEE

every thread i make has a point.

i forgot who came in 3rd place this year. Oh well, I wont bother trying to remember. Nobody cares about who comes in 3rd place in a division.

the only pitcher i'd trade a-rod for is santana. Thats it. Bottom line.

good, i'm glad clemens is finally exposed for what he is... a scumbag saying you're going to retire then going to the astros and still having the nerve to say you want to go into the Hall as a yank, you're a yankee for life, and your heart is with new york. piece of crap, wouldn't surprise me if he goes back to the sox.

i was just gunna add that

LETS GO YANKS!

"but I'm not going to win it. They give it to [Rodriguez] one year, even though his team was in last place, so now they can't play that BS anymore, just because your team didn't make it. They gave it to Alex that year because of his numbers. But they always have a reason to vote for whatever, so that's why I don't worry about it." i think he forgot the part where a-rod also won a gold glove at ss that year.

yeah we can just say we went into their place, swept them for 5 GAMES and buried them. I'll take it.

you know damn well this over that statistical crap on that bush league error on jeter that should have been a hit for him. He had a muscle cramp, last time I checked a muscle cramp only lasts that day because you are dehydrated, you sleep, and you're fine the next day. It doesn't linger for days!

Reds have to make the playoffs first, the mets have pretty much done that already.

no way can the second coming be slumping!!!

EEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

i'll agree, they sound like they have packed the season in. I mean they were even teased for a while that the m's could do somehting in the west. Now they're just pathetic

yeah but knowing you, you will probably be wasted the whole time!

and we could use another arm!
