Yankees offer Rivera 3/$45
...he's also yet to accept. I'm guessing he might be entertaining the idea that three things will happen.
1. A contender wants him to close for them.
2. Said contender wants to sign an almost 38 year old for 4 years.
3. Said contender also wants to give him more $ per season.
Personally, I don't think he's going to see either 2 or 3 happen. In short, I'm [censored] confused about why he hasn't signed yet.
Celtics are doing well.
It's been like, 37-38 years since a non-Bruins sports team from New England has lost a game. Yikes. They've got me hooked, and I haven't followed the Celts since Reggie Lewis died.

[editor's note, by Allen Chace] Randy beat me to the Tokyo announcement, below this post.

Re: Couple things I've been thinking about.

Maybe Mo wants to join Torre out west?

Couple other things I just read about -

Fat Miggy is on a diet.

The Yanks are willing to negotiate with Arod, but only if Boras isn't involved.

Rolen?

Manny Ramirez is a bad man

Yankees

Yankees are back doing what they do best... Spending ungodly amounts of money on aging players. $15 mill a year for Rivera? Are they serious?

Now they are talking to ARod when they swore up and down that they would not talk with him?

They are certainly turning into a laughingstock...

Same here.

Re: Celtics

For me, it was when Larry Bird hurt his back.

3 point shots=basketball's death??

I have not followed the Celtics or any other Pro basketball team since the mid 1980s. Before that, especially in the 1960s, I was a Cousy-Havlicek-Russel-Jone(s)-Bird etc. ADICT!!

The current Celtic hot streak has wet my basketball whistle for the first time in over 20 years, but I still sense/feel a problem. I do not want to spend my time watching a bunch of talented but overpaid athletes standing around throwing up only 3 point shots and making them about at the same % as I can. It is dull and takes the skill-excitment out of the game over the long run. I would hope basketball would either outlaw 3 point shooting or just limit the 3 point potential to the last 3-5 minutes of the game. My 2 cents if they want me back!

Not only...

will the Red Sox be playing two road games vs the A's in Japan, but they will be playing three exhibition games in LA vs the Dodgers March 28-30th. With the March 29th game being played at the LA Coliseum, the first site of the LA Dodgers. This will surely attract a huge crowd and it will be interesting to see major league hitters once again play in a stadium with a huge left field screen only 240 feet away from home plate.

vr, Xei

Dodger Sims with a correct pre-season Red Sox Championship prediction!

PANIC MODE

We NEED to sign Lowell, because A-rod is about to re-sign w MFY. Im terrified they will sign Lowell and let him play first base. Im convinced for the first time we should offer 4 years.
