At least we get our FA to a press conference quickly.
Now, will Smoltz get #29?
I can hear the clock ticking and my heart beating. I can see individual pixels of the TV picture. I can hear the caution in the opponent's voice. I can smell the fear in the sweat of the opponent's fans. I can taste... THE CHAMPIONSHIP. I AM IN CHAMPIONSHIP MODE.

I think so. Sox ain’t holding it for Foulkey, that’s for sure…

Can we give someone--anyone--#21?
I hate Roger Clemens! We should stop holding his number.
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.

Buchh should get it when he’s called up.

I'd like to see a scrub wear it
Just to rub Roger’s nose in it—for all the crap he said about the Sox over the years.

He looks like a strange version of Luke Wilson
What’s up with MLB players looking like actors this summer? In the first pic Burrell took as a Rays he looked just like Ray Liotta, now this?

All that NY sarcasm
Forget about it, Yankees will find themselves in the
same spot this upcoming season just as last season
In 3rd place & out of the playoffs!

Hey
I respect Royals fans. They MUST BE loyal.

I like the Orioles fans
They’ve got a sense of humor. Who could forget “Tonight we dine with Traschel!”?

They also had to put up with Millar, so I respect them…

They don't like kids coming on and applauding them for being loyal though.

What's with the format?
It’s been like that on a few of your posts.

Yankee FO v. Red Sox FO
I know this was sarcasm, but all over the boards today the Yankees are jumping on this theory a little early. Yankee FO v. Red Sox FO is a difference in war strategy. Red Sox go out, do recon, get their target, and fire a precise kill, one shot one kill.
Yankee FO looks around for something big to blow up, fires a nuke and turns and looks for others to praise their cleverness for pressing the red button.
Yes, Casanova, we paid a FA…STOP THE MLB…THE CUBS JUST SIGNED MILTON BRADLEY!!!! WE NEED A SALARY CAP!!!!
John Smoltz = 5 million + 5 million incentives.
CC Sabathia = 140 million + 20 million to actually play for the Yankees in NY. (20 million is one hell of a standard of living bump)
Brad Penny = 5.5 million
AJ Burnett = 80 million to outbid the Braves + 7 million to actually play for the Yankees in NY.
I wonder who will be a better deal?

Two completely different situations
Theo took a few fliers on guys to round out an already good rotation, and a 4th outfielder. Cashman had to buy an ace a 2nd/ 3rd type of starter and a star 1st baseman. Two of the three are in their prime so of course they had to break out the big guns. Cashman started the off season with a few one shot kills buying low on swisher and the decision to not offer arbitration to the still unemployed bobby abreu ivan rodriguez. and andy pettite.II think its pretty safe to say if we had to pay any one of those guys an arbitration settlement we would have been outta the tex sweepstakes. (Abreu and Pettite both made 16 mil last year and would have been given a raise through arbitration.)

You gotta be shitting me
The first time I got the joke, now you mean it was serious? Yanks spend nearly a 100 times more in signings this off-season, and you wanna talk about us buying players?

He was sarcastic
hes saying the Sox have the big guns in place already, while the MFY had to go buy them or they were up shit creek.

Cashman's trying to save his job.

I dunno about that.
Management just signed him to a new three year contract. I think if we was worried about his job last year he would have traded for santana.

Exactly,
it would be a pretty fugly season with a rotation of Wang, Burnett, Pettite?, Somebody, Joba.

As I've been saying,
the Yanks had to shell out because they have a rapidly aging core, and needed a pitching staff to suplement that. The Sox, as you said, have the pieces in place already, and just needed a few supplemental pieces.

It's going to be a change when the Rays have a player wearing number 5 who actually plays.

I was going to say you guys could have Nomar, but he doesn’t quite fit the “actually plays” mold.

#5
it upsets me that he took number 5……

Well, come on... Nomar's not exactly Ted Williams.

Give him a break. He knows all about Nomah.

Thats a good one
This comes from a guy that plays video games this is the kind of mental development we’re dealing with here. I am 5 years old and can read at a 6th grad level is that Sarcasm?
by Red Sox #1 Fan on Jan 9, 2009 6:47 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
I'm hoping so, or you need to learn that being at a 6th grade level isn't impressive any more.
And what’s wrong with video games? Great mind relief.

Ha, that's funny
That actually reminds me of a game I saw on Fenway in 2004, against the Twins with Schill on the mound for us. We had a good run in 2003 in the playoffs, and all of sudden there were these new fans. So in the top of the 2nd, one of the Twins hit a deep ball to right, and Trot makes the catch. It was actually pretty close to where I was, and the guy next to me goes crazy, he screams a loud ‘YEAH!" and does a small jump. I look at him somehow surprised, and he turns to me and asks “Who is this guy?”. I said "Bernie Williams, didn’t you know?“. I never heard from that guy again, but I’ll never forget they way he asked "Who’s this guy?’”.

At least the person in my story had an excuse.
At an ‘07 game at the Trop, a little kid was leaning over the wall inbetween the Sox dugout and bullpen. He was like 5, and all of the sudden he shouts, "Hey, why’d you shave your beard?" at Dice-K. I thought he meant the little goatee he grows from time-to-time, but that wasn’t it. Dice-K turned around, and the kid saw “Matsuzaka” across the jersey. He then shouts, “Then where’s Johnny Damon?”

This reminds me of a story.
2003, sitting in some lousy under the scoreboard bleachers with my wife and her sister and my buddy Jamey. It’s a stupid game, something like 9-3 Sox – killing them – and the bleachers clear out by the 8th. There’s this WASTED college kid running killing all the wounded soldiers (or half-empty beers, for y’alls not in the know) (and FYI, that’s pretty f’n DISGUSTING) and we’re all laughing with/at him. Anyways, we’re cheering the game, and this kid starts repeating whatever we say.
I say “Hit one out” and he says “HIT ONE OUT!!!!” full-throated. I say “strike him out” he screams “STRIKE HIM OUT!!!” and so on and so forth.
So finally my friend Jamey yells “Kill Nomar!” and this guy let’s out the most blood curtling scream — “KIIIILLLLLL NOOOOMAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!”
Everyone in the bleachers heard it and turned around. I bet Damon heard it in CF too. Absolutly f’n amazing. Top 10 of the funniest things I’ve ever seen.

Rec'd.
We should start a thread to kill some time till pitchers and catchers report – Funniest Baseball-Related Story.
For those children who claimed they’ve been a fan of their favorite team all their life, or even since they were about four or five years old: bullshit. There’s always that certain event or certain player that draws to the sport and draws you to a team. For me, Nomar Garciaparra was that reason. - Nick Coviello: I Try To See Rocco, But All I Think Is Nomar; 1/9/09
