Manny And Jeter Are Golfing.... (And Nomar)
Well it looks like we got the last laugh in this whole Manny fiasco. Because while Manny will be golfing or grilling or staring at the wall tomorrow we'll still be playing baseball. I guess he needed us a little more than we needed him after all.
PS - Am I the only one who felt bad for Nomar that he made the last out last night? Why do bad things happen to good people?
Monty Beisel is Married to THIS???
I think I speak for all Patriots fans when I say that my immediate reaction to seeing Monty Beisel fall on a blocked punt in overtime to give the Cardinals a win over Dallas Sunday was "Monty Beisel is still in football?!!!" Honestly, I'm stunned by this news. I had no idea. Beisel was not only THE worst free agent pickup of the Belichick/Pioli Dynasty (at least among those players not named Duane Starks), his only notable Patriots moments were:
- Getting decleated by Giants (and giant) backup QB Jared Lorenzen in a preseason game while the Giants bench doubled over with laughter. And,
- Screaming at a Patriots' PR guy on microphone for not protecting him from the super-tough badasses Boston sports media.
Now he's not only a hero, making the play of the week in the entire NFL and putting Arizona into a tie for first in their division, according to SportsbyBrooks today, Beisel is married to Amanda Carraway, a raving smokeshow who's appearing nude in Playboy and some other site. I don't begrudge Beisel his success on the field, but where was this ability to pull tail when he was playing here? Where was the effort? First the Sox start letting the ALCS slip away from them, then the Pats go into free fall, now cruel Fate mocks us yet again.

Just wondering if you could post some pics of your office or where
ever you work. It has to be better than my cube. Maybe some pics of
the contributing writers too.

Not quite sure why this guy wanted to see the home base, but whatever. I'm a servant of the people so per his request I just snapped a couple photos of the old office Awesome right? And as far as what we look like I’m assuming you’ve seen pictures of me since I pop up from time to time on the blog. Jerry looks like Smithers from the Simpsons except older (no joke) and Manzo looks like a young Phil Rizzuto (no joke). Hopefully this answers all your questions.
(The First Lady bought me that divider thing. That's supposed to be my cube. But as you can see I like to sneak out when she's at work and blog from the kitchen table. Nobody puts Baby in a corner.)

Citgo Sign Catches Fire....Shaughnessy Hard As A Rock
Boston.com - The flames from the Red Sox' skidding season seem to be spreading. The Citgo sign that looms over Fenway Park caught fire this morning, the plastic partially melting in a small electrical blaze inside the storied sign. Flames were actually visible from Storrow Drive during the fire, which caused $5,000 in damage, said Steve MacDonald, a spokesperson for the Boston Fire Department.
I can’t tell you how many people have sent me this story in the last hour. I don’t understand what the big deal is? Obviously the Citgo sign caught fire. What did you expect it to do? Just sit there and act like nothing was happening. It’s fucking pissed just like everybody else. Don’t worry though Citgo Sign, we’ll be fine. Just have faith bro.
Are the Drays Forfeiting Game 5?
Can you believe that Joe Madden is pitching Scott Kazmir in Game 5? Thank you very much Joe. So much for killer instinct huh? Because make no mistake about it, this pretty much counts as a forfeit in my book. I mean Scott Kazmir has been horrible lately and now he is matched up against the only guy who actually has been able to shut down the Devil Rays this series in Dice K. This has blowout city written all over it. Listen, Madden can give whatever rationale he wants, but I see what he’s doing here. It’s obvious he was afraid to pitch his ace vs. Daiske and potentially lose another tight game and then have to go back to Tampa with his worst pitcher going in Game 6. Suddenly he could be staring Jon Lester and Game 7 right in the face. He probably pissed himself in fear thinking about this situation. So instead of risking it he decided to hold Shields back to face Beckett who has been awful all playoffs and create the dream matchup for the Devil Rays. It’s actually not a bad plan unless of course Beckett wakes up and becomes Josh Beckett again. Then it’s lights out Tampa Bay and hello Dynasty.
Grading the Newest Sex Teacher Scandal
Oklahoma-- A Marble City School teacher was accused Tuesday of having sex with a 13-year-old boy and sending him explicit photos and text messages. Stephanie Diane Harris, 27, of Sallisaw was charged Tuesday with first-degree rape and three counts of soliciting sexual conduct or communication with a minor by use of technology, according to court records... The boy told police that during the month of June a teacher from Marble City School, identified as Harris, began text messaging him on his cellular phone... Harris text messaged him several times between June 22 and Aug. 14. On June 24, Harris allegedly text messaged the boy, asking him if he would have sex with her. The boy allegedly agreed and left the home he was at when he received the message and began walking down the road. He told police that Harris pulled up and picked him up in her personal vehicle, and took him to her home... and Harris began kissing him. The two then went into a bedroom and began having sex...Between June and August, Harris allegedly sent the boy five photographs of herself in a text message. The boy described photos being of Harris' vaginal area, her nude breasts and one of her breasts while wearing a bra or bathing suit top.
You might be inclined to think that 13 years old is still pretty young for a kid. But one of the tenets of Judaism holds that 13 years old is the so-called Age of Majority, when a boy becomes a man. That at 13, a kid becomes old enough to make mature, rational judgments. That said, what the hell is this kid's major malfunction? I hate to sound like a cranky old man, but I'll tell you one thing. When I was 13, and a horny teacher sent you text messages that she wanted to pick you up and bone you and pix messages of her vaginal area and breasts, you didn't go running to the cops about it. I guess I just don't understand kids nowadays.
The Grades:
Looks: Eeeh... Not horrible, not great. About 12 beers plus a few shots on the Beer Goggle Scale. But a 9 to a kid in the "Drake and Josh" demographic. Grade: C-.
Moral Compass/Bad Judgement: Nothing ups your grade here like incriminating evidence. How was Steph to know boys like to hang onto pictures of vaginas and breasts? Grade: A+.
Intangibles: You have to love Ms. Harris for her signature move: Texting a kid to ask if he wants to get laid. Like there's more than one answer. Grade: A.
Overall: B-. Nice effort, but as always, you can't coach looks. (Thanks to Matthew for the story.)
What Red Sox Fan Would Wear A Manny Shirt to Fenway?
Boston.com - Keith O'Connor of East Longmeadow regrets not having Manny Ramirez in the Red Sox lineup. "They [Red Sox management] treated Manny as a product," O'Connor said. "So he treated them like a business."
What is this guy a philosphy major or something? Dude shut the fuck up and take the shirt off unless you're sneaky rooting for Tampa Bay or something. Seriously how do you wear a fake Manny shirt to a playoff game? Just dumb. I mean it would be one thing if I wore my authentic Phil Plantier jersey, but a Manny shirt? Like I said it makes it seem like you're either rooting for the Devil Rays or are the cheapest bastard on planet earth. Either way it's a poor choice. Fenway security shouldn't have even let him in the park.
Some European Dude Hustles Devon Harris
This video has been everywhere the past couple days. Now it's here. Anyway the moral of this story is this is why you don't play games to 2. Hell I could beat Michael Jordan in a game to 2. Everything has to be to at least 7. Everybody knows this.
Writer Calls Red Sox Nation "Racist." Yawn.
Ken Rosenthal on FoxSports: The Red Sox look very white. The trade of left fielder Manny Ramirez and loss of shortstop Julio Lugo to injury left the Sox with a predominantly Caucasian roster. Why bring this up now, with the Red Sox in the American League Championship Series? Well, the free-agent market will open in about a month. The makeup of the Red Sox's roster could be a concern for players they pursue, whether it's this offseason or in the future.
Of the Red Sox's current players in the ALCS, the only African- American is outfielder Coco Crisp. The only Latin Americans are designated hitter David Ortiz, who is from the Dominican Republic, and utility infielder Alex Cora and reliever Javier Lopez, both of whom are from Puerto Rico. Center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury is Native American. Pitchers Daisuke Matsuzaka and Hideki Okajima are from Japan. Reliever Manny Delcarmen is of Dominican descent, and injured third baseman Mike Lowell was born to Cuban parents in Puerto Rico... a perception has long existed among some African-American athletes that Boston is hostile to players who are not white... The question is whether the Red Sox will lose players they want because of the makeup of their club, the perception of the city or both.
I don't know what to address first: The towering, monumental wrongness of this notion that we're hostile to minority players or the fact that sportswriters are still perpetuating this myth. So I'll take them in order.
Let's try to make sense of what's being said here. The Red Sox are a predominantly white team. Except for all the non-white players in a clubhouse that looks more like the United Nations than one of Tom Yawkey's old rosters. The owners may or may not steer away from signing minority players because the people of Boston are racist. Except for the fact that Papi is the most beloved player in team history, Dice-K is a cultural phenomenon, fans demanded the team bring back Lowell last season and guys like Ellsbury and Crisp are popular way out of proportion to what they've accomplished on the field. But still, we only embrace white players. OK, Pedro's diva-ishness was always more popular than Schilling's know-it-all windbaggery, but still. And the fact that the current Left Fielder is white is because the old, Dominican-born Left Fielder (who was wildly liked despite the 10 million reasons he gave the fans NOT to like him) shot his way out of town doesn't count. We're still guilty. So there's no use in defending ourselves by pointing out the popularity of the Celtics (without Brian Scalabrine Mania gripping the Hub), our utter disregard of NASCAR or the dozens of black Patriots players who love playing here. The Sox owner who croaked 25 years ago was a racist so we all are and always will be. No point in denying it.
But really what this article is is just another death spasm of the old media, who continue to with the same tired old story lines regardless of their merit. Sox fans are racist. Belichick is mean. The Sporting News runs a cover article about Boston and has Dan Shaughnessy write it about curses and Loserville and the Fellowship of the Miserable. None of these old media dinosaurs is capable of adapting to the new environment. It's pathetic. But maybe I shouldn't criticize these guys. After all they're white.
PS - Did I mention that despite all this Ken Rosenthal wrote the exact opposite thing about the Red Sox on May 27th when discussing Mets General Manager Omar Minaya and how he only signs Hispanic players.
The Red Sox are a better example of a melting pot, but they are not just a cultural melting pot. The Sox are a blend of players young and old, gifted and ordinary, wealthy and hungry. The pieces — from Manny Ramirez to Dustin Pedroia, Daisuke Matsuzaka to Jonathan Papelbon — could not be more disparate. But somehow, under the leadership of manager Terry Francona, they all pull toward a common goal.
Umm this was from May 27th of 2008! If I didn't read this with my own two eyes I would have said it was impossible for anybody to contradict themselves this much within the span of 4 months. The only explanation is that Ken Rosenthal must have some sort of disease.
I HATE When This Happens!
Seriously this is why I don't ride the bus anymore. Too dangerous. Apparently this guy was okay by the way which I find hard to believe, but I won't question it.
Mila Kunis is Dating Macaulay Culkin?
What I’m about to say is far from breaking news. But did people know that Mila Kunis is dating Macaulay Culkin? Yeah Macaulay Fucking Culkin! And apparently they have been dating for like six years now. What the fuck?Where have I been? More importantly how do you go from getting diddled by Michael Jackson to dating this piece of ass? This totally ruins my crush on Mila Kunis. Seriously can she please dump him already and date an athlete or a good looking dude or somebody who didn’t have Michael Jackson’s dick inside of him? Is that too much to ask? Honestly I can’t believe I’m sneaky jealous of Macaulay fucking Culkin. I’m fucking pissed.
Red Sox Get Crushed Again: Thank God I'm Not A Yankees Fan Right Now
Well if this grueling 7 game ALCS with Tampa Bay has taught us anything it is that the Yankees are totally and completely fucked for the foreseeable future. Because the Drays aren’t going anywhere anytime soon and neither are we. So that means the Yankees are always going to be odd man out. Because there is no way they are better than us and there is no way they are better than them. I’m talking it may be 10 years before the Bombers are back in the playoffs. So as much as it sucked for Red Sox fans to sit through games 3 and 4, it must have been twice as depressing for New York fans. I mean even the most optimistic Yankee fan has to know that they can’t compete in the AL East anymore. Sad day for Yankee fans indeed.
Oh and as far as the rest of the ALCS goes, wake me up when we lose game 4. Because according to my records every time we’ve been down 3-1 in the ALCS this century we’ve come back not only that series, but win the whole god damn thing. In other words now we really have Tampa Bay right where we want them. And for anybody who says this year is different I say bullshit. 19-8 in Game 3 vs. the Yankees felt much more helpless than this. This is just like a mosquito bite or something. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Ugh, this might be the only time el pres has been spot on.
Its become the AL Beast, and whatever team wins it is like the Israeli army, forged in the furnace of conflict, battle hardened, and nigh unstoppable.
Is it me of does B.J. Upton look like he is guilty of at least 7 unsolved murders in the greater Tampa area? No it's not because he's black, he just looks like the kind of guy who would break into a house to kill some white bitch.
Every time you've been down 3-1 you've come back to win...
Oh brother, now you're reaching.
How many of those years did golden boy Lester and Wakefield get smashed by a combined 22-5?
Also Manny and Lowell lead the last come-back.
I checked, they aren't available this week...
Wake up shit heads!! It's over.
even when your team is in the ALCS and on the verge of elimination, you still talk about the Yankees..i would be a little more concerned about the admitted lack of a "fenway" crowd at fenway..the sox seem to get more noise and support in tampa then they do on their turf this series
Maddon pushed Kazmir up to start Game 5 and i'm wondering if he's conceding the game to line up shields against beckett and potentially win at home.
here's to that move biting him in the ass!
It's not over but it's not looking good!
The only thing Uptons guilty of is killing every Pitch that the sox throw at him...and if that’s a crime, then the crimes would be unsolved because they can’t find the ball because its still sailing through the air somewhere right now.
BECKET LESTER WAKE...CHOKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fenway? You mean "The Trop North"?
That's what it's called down here now.
Green Monster? More like Rays home-run magnet.
Won't some of these Rays players start demanding 'big-market' dollars in a 'small market' town? How can their team not start to evaporate before their eyes almost as soon at this season ends? Sure, they have players locked up for periods of time...but eventually, the contracts will come due, the Rays won't have the money these players will 'demand,' and this supposed baseball juggernaut will cease to exist almost as soon as it's born.
Holy crap, this is funny.....
So, let me get this straight, the Red Sox are about to get eliminated, the Suck Sox need to win three straight, 2 on the road....
And now El Pres just can say "well, at least we got into the playoffs, and the Yankess can't even say that"
What a fucking joke!!!!
No it's not because he's black, he just looks like the kind of guy who would break into a house to kill some white bitch.
— Da_Man, Oct 15 2008, 10:40 am
I've never seen the Boston racism summed up so well. Not that I'm not guilty mind you. Loved that Da_Man.
This is exactly why I hate boston people. Didnt the Yankees and Sox tie in the season series?? Yankees also won the series over the Rays this last year. So if it wasnt for Wang, Chamberlain, Hughes all getting hurt. Sox would be sitting on the outside this year. Boston is in deep trouble without Manny being in your lineup. Ask Ortiz, im sure he misses that bat. Im a neutral fan, I like the Braves, so this rivalry means nothing to me, we had our years, and now we suck. Boston had their little run, and now its over!! Watch out for the Yanks and Rays next year, while the Sox sit home and jerk eachother off.
My buddy who works in NY had two Yankees fans try to gang up on him today. They're loving the fact the Sox are down 3-1.
The best part... They said "at least the Yanks have won 4 out of the last 12!"
You've got to be kidding me.
I should've bought stock in The Sports Authority and Volvo.
Everytime the Rays make contact they pepper those stupid signs. Talk about free advertising.
Look out TCL --- this down 3-1 thing doesn't scare me either.
My money says TB wins the series --- but if we saw three shutouts by Dice-Beckett-Lester, I don't even think I'd even flinch.
It's game 5 right?
I still don't understand why EastCoastSucks is here. If you're a florida guy talking shit to Mass...it doesn't make sense. Its called geography and you're located on the East Coast. Are you from Indiana and moved to Florida and wish you were back on the farm? Or are to a transplant to the West Coast who flashes the "W" gang sign in all his pics to show his new Cali love? Your a fraud.
Tclover33 are you actually a Drays fan?
Were you one of the two guys at fenway with the Rays game jersey tucked into your jeans? Sweet look dude.
"it is like the Israeli army, forged in the furnace of conflict"
wow 26to7 you sir are going to hell
Jigs-
Where did you put your cash?
Enough said.
jesus christ, get over the freaking yankees you yahoo.
tapout21
EastCoastSucks claims to be a rays fan, but hes probably just a bitter Angels fan trying to to root for the team who knocked his team out, cause he obviously is not a mensa candidate with the name contradicting the team he likes
I see nothing wrong with 26 to 7's comment. Although I find his name highly offensive.
I CAN BOT BELIEVE THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE WHO NO NOTHING ABOUT BASEBALL.
Bostonisforbabies, eastcoastsucks, and tclover should all be thrown into the back of a cement truck with a group of aids victims and a box of razor blades. You're a group of fucking hard ons with litteraly nothing better to do. I wish nothing good ever comes to you in your sad lonely lives, I will continue to pray that you get your shit pushed by a pack of gorillas.
Every time you've been down 3-1 you've come back to win...
Oh brother, now you're reaching.

Wake up shit heads!! It's over.
— TCLover33, Oct 15 2008, 10:42 am
Dont post something that is incorrect. If I remember it was the combination of Youk and Pedroia's bat that won them games 5-7 in the ALCS last year. The 1st inning grand slam bomb from JD Drew gave them quite a bit of momentum.
This series is not even close to being over. As stated before this team has been in this position and fortunetly it has paid off. Terry knows what needs to be done to rally the troops.
BostonIsForBabies-
Yankees are not a threat, Sox had injuries too, thats why Ortiz is doing so bad, his wrist still bothers him.
Would anyone like to explain why they call left filed wall "The Green Monster"....clearly nothing scary about it? Unless you’re a moronic fuck tard Red Sox fan, then I can see how the site of the all Rays hits going over it as if they are participating in the home run derby would be a bit frightening.
— EastCoastSucks, Oct 15 2008, 10:38 am
Still curious....anyone have the answer?
02131, either that was the greatest sarcasm ever, or you are mentally challenged.
tapout21-
No, I was one of the asswipe Sox fans with a reverse mohawk.
HOLY SHIT! Talk about original.
Nothing says "we're scared" like a reverse mohawk.
Come on tapout, give us more 1986 trivia...
Who won the Masters that year? By your logic they'll come back and win it again this year...
Before anyone starts with the requisite:
"Fenway crowd SUCKED last night, corporate fans SUCK...Pink hats SUCK" bullshit, please refrain.
Yes, the crowd was quiet, but like game 3 - it's pretty hard to be loud when the first 7 pitches hit eastbound windshields on the Pike.
Shamrock1957-
Wait, wait, wait...
You mean to tell me these guys do it for the money? I thought it was tradition and pride and that burning inside to do whatever it takes to wear the Sox jersey some day...
TCLover, shouldn't you be buying Park Place or Marvin Gardens right now?
I don't know, elprez. Sox have some major flaws that need to be rectified in the offseason:
1. Your pitching staff is, shall we say, less than intimidating. They just gave up 35 runs over 4 days.
2. Your once fearsome lineup really looks like it is missing Manny right now. Papi seems to have been terribly exposed in the post-Manny, post-Mitchell Report era. At least Giambi apologized. Also, Tek looks like he couldn't be captain of the local Arthur Treacher's.
3. Tito doesn't seem to have any answers anymore. Is he still a super-genius like Bellichick? It's really easy to manage a team that scores double digits every game. Just ask Joe Maddon.
4. Once the bandwagon empties (like it did in the bottom of the 6th last night), it will be awfully quiet in Fenway. Hard to generate excitement when you only have 15k per night showing up. Just ask...well, just ask the 1989-1999 Red Sox.
Queue the dickboats!!
I've never seen a Devil Rays jersey. I've seen a handful of Rays jerseys. So that means everyone wearing a tampa bay jersey got them this year. How are they not bandwagon?
GOPATS7-
You'd put your house on the line that they'll come back?
it's the return of the Mel Hall/Steve Balboni spankees.
bradbooze-
shhhh, shhhh, shhhh...
Settle down, the pain is almost over...
Spectacular!!!! Prez, you are a genius. Above and below this post will be nothing but douchebag fans of teams that aren't in it-many have never been in it. The more shit they spew in response to your postings makes this site a riot.
People LOVE commenting on how the Sox-Pats-Celtics-Bruins suck because their hometown teams are dogshit. Nice work.
Interesting thoughts...
considering the Yankees beat both of those teams more times than they lost to them this year.
TC - I hardly ever gamble - and never on sports.
I think you missed my point, though.
I say right now - the Rays win.
HOWEVER - I saw it in '04 - I saw it in '07 - both against teams with more veteran leadership and playoff experience.
Sox win tonight and it's gonna be a battle.
CptKangarooBalls-
Those are Monopoly Game streets.
Surprised you didn't know that.
Not sure I agree. I think we are about to become just like the Yankees.... OLD. Lowell = Old, VTeck = Old, Ortiz = Old, Wakefield = Old. I think we would agree that we need to re-build over the winter as we need help at: DH, Pitcher, 3B, Catcher. Not to mention our revolving SS position. (Cora = old, and Lowery = Not ready for Primetime)
Keep the Faith
Beantownluv-
Get back in the shallow end...
Jigs-
Oh...well then...
Good point...I guess?
I love when Boston babies get all riled up..Aids this, and fuck you that, and there's always a gay comment flying around.
Tampa Bay has beaten you all year, and is continuing the spanking (just like the one your bf gives you Bradbooze) throughout the playoffs. Would have liked to see Boston/LA, but now I wont even watch 1 world series game!
maybe the dumbest post in the history of this idiotic site.
cue the duckboats!!
TCL,
I wouldnt give you a damn thing. Get your facts straight before you start posting on a Boston site you tool.
Exactly TC, Monopoly streets are the only thing you buy, fraud.
Shamrock1957 got some bad news for ya. All but Upton are pretty much locked down in long term (5+ years) contracts. Rays aren't going anywhere for a while.
....and then there is TCLover.......anyone who reads this knows this guy takes the term douchebag to an entirely new level. Crawl back up your boyfriend's ass, will you? You are embarrassing even the diehard anti-Boston homos.
Bostonisforbabies-
If you don't like the sox you must be either gay or have aids or live in a trailer or need to die. Didn't you know that?
HAHAHAHAHA

I like your syle bradbooze, lets throw in some used syringes, poisonous reptiles and derekio for good measure too.
*style
it's not over yet, if i remember correctly you have to win four games. can any tampa fans explain to me why maddon is starting kazmir instead of shields who was scheduled to start? maddon after he makes the change he was quoted as saying that kazmirs confidence isn't where it should be. i hope maddon isn't looking ahead to the world series. this could be exactly what the red sox need. oh yeah and dice k is pitching and we know what happened last time he pitched. why not pitch big game james shields in the biggest game the rays have ever played.
dice k will send the series back to the trop.
CptKangarooBalls-
What does Monopoly have to do with anything?
tclover33, i take it you are referring to a completely different post where I posted another writers comments that I thought were interesting. Yes, we have a history of coming back. And YES, I'm not willing to concede yet. Sorry pal, but its over when its over. As for the masters, who knows. Who cares. Please post a youtube of you showing all your coworkers how worked up you get people on Barstool. You are rad.
GOPATS7-
No idea what you're talking about.
Nice to know though...good one.
Read this slowly TCLover33, you are a fraud.
You are not a Real Estate mogul, the only real estate you buy is in the board game Monopoly, which you probably play by yourself.
Want to buy a watch factory in Waltham, MA?
Wow! now that was unexpected. A zinger at Yankee fans. Ouch! that hurt. And it ain't over until its over...but those last 3 games was some of the worst baseball I have ever seen the Sox play in the playoffs...So now we'll see if Tampa has the where-with-all to close it...

The two of you are nothing more then a canker on the lip of even the worst sports fans. I did not wish aids upon you because you do not like the sox, in fact I could not be happier that you two are not sox fans. I hope you get aids and your mothers are raped by Kimbo slice because you come to this site talking all sorts of non sense, most of it being completly irelevent. I just simply dont like you. Hang yourselves.
Drew Brees Mole-
Funny how? Funny ha-ha or funny like you trying to find your place on this site?
don't worry pres, at least you still have cassel..... the red sox will be watching the world series from home. it's over. was it over when the germans bombed pearl harbor????
bradbooze-
Now, now. You're getting yourself all worked up over what?
Baseball? I'm sure that this is not the most important thing to you Bradley.
the germans bombed pearl harbor? is this a joke that Im just not getting. If so i will accept the dipshit title, for the moment you own that though.
Cajan, I'm not going to disagree with you there. I would be worse of a fraud than Tclover33 or Eastcoastsucks if I just admitted we were going to lose. Its called Hope, something those two think of when they write their list to Santa Claus every year.
TCLover33,
How quickly you forget, you've been talking about "buying" shoe factories in Boston and other stuff since you got here like a week ago. You bring nothing to the discussion, your comments are inane. I will have no further correspondance with you.
My god have mercy on your soul!
again this has nothing to do with the sox/boston/baseball. it is you dickhead. you are not funny, your existance is uneccasary, you bring nothing to the table. I am able to laugh at comments by a few guys that post comments making fun of the sox, but you, you..... you are not funny, you come across as some dipshit lowlife with nothing better to do. sadly you probably believe that you are getting people mad because your hating on the sox, im just annoyed with you.
not a bradley, sorry to disappoint.
bradbooze, ever seen Animal House?
CptKangarooBalls-
You trying to remeber so much is flatering but false.
I said I did buy 3 factories...once. That isn't what I do, it was just a one time deal I couldn't pass on. They weren't shoe factories though. You try and try and still nothing.
bradbooze-
I didn't know I was supposed to be funny. You mean like you?
Should I make rape and aids jokes? Is that funny?
i have
I was not trying to be funny, I really hope that happens to you.

Hope seems to be all you have left little man.
who is a bigger loser: the red sox or dmitri the dud?
thoughts?
yeah, something like that. I cant believe I've wasted this much time going back with these fucking assholes. Little disappointed with myself.
tclover33,
are you a rays fan?
if you are why kazmir over shields when shields was scheduled to pitch?
even when maddon doesn't think kazmirs confidence is where it should be.
Cannot believe all the hate for Big Papi. Dude's basically hitting with one bum arm. Pretty sure he's been clutch in the postseason more than once and I keep reading "Big Papi has a tiny d". That's some weak shit.
Pres, you're the biggest dickbag i've ever seen in my life. 10 years until the Yankees make the playoffs again? Are you fucking for real? You know the asshole Yankees will buy all the players they need to be in contention every year. Now I hate them as much as you, trust me, but your head is way way up your ass on this one. I know the Rays are good and they will be for years to come. And the Sox are good, and they will be for years to come. But c'mon man, wake the fuck up.
Interesting way to show how non-obsessed you are with the Yankees. You're not even a year removed from a Red Sox comeback from 3-1 down in the ALCS, and you come out with, "at least we did better than the Yankees"???
Pathetic. Truly.
This was written by some fellas who know a hell of a lot more about baseball then the jokers who run this site. I think the yanks will be just fine, worry about the rays.
This offseason is the perfect storm for the Yankees to leverage their financial advantage over the rest of baseball, as there is really no downside to spending on big-name veterans. Normally, if the Yankees were to sign a Type-A free agent, they would have to forfeit their 1st round pick in the 2009 draft to whichever team it was that the player came from, and this would detract from the net value of the transaction. Considering how valuable building a farm system has become in recent years, 1st round picks have become a pretty significant price to pay.
At the same time, the Yankees have a number of their own players that could be filing for free agency. Pettitte, Mussina, Giambi, Abreu, and Pudge will all be free agents. Marte has a $6 million option which, if declined, would make him a free agent. Pettitte, Moose, Abreu, Pudge, and Marte all stand to be Type-A free agents, while Giambi will likely slot in as a Type-B. Remember - each Type-A free agent that another team signs away from the Yankees will net the team two picks in the 2009 draft, while each Type-B brings back one.
Often times this compensation factor leads us to wonder if signing a player is worth it, as it could potentially cost the team a shot at an Andrew Brackman, Phil Hughes, or Joba Chamberlain. In the case of this offseason it is clear that signing a Sabathia or Teixeira is clearly worth giving up the draft pick. They are young, talented, and of elite production. The beauty of this offseason though, is that with so many players coming off the books, there is not only money to spend, but a potential windfall of picks coming back to the Yankees if they let some of these players walk (after offering arbitration, of course). Also, lets not forget that the team already has two additional picks in the 2009 draft from not signing Gerrit Cole and Scott Bittle. Those picks, as well any picks that the Yankees gain from losing their own free agents, cannot be lost to the compensation rules. The only picks he Yankees can lose are the standard 2009 picks they get based upon their record this past season.
So, going into this offseason, the Yankees' 2009 draft picks are:
1st round: #26, #31 (Cole)
2nd round: #76 (approximately), and #80 (Bittle)
Lets say they sign Sabathia AND Teixeira. They lose their natural 1st and 2nd rounders, and are still left with picks #31 and #80. Now, lets say out of the six free agents that are coming off the books, Giambi, Pudge, Abreu, and Marte are offered arbitration and sign elsewhere. This adds an additional SEVEN draft picks, in the first 80 or so picks of the draft, to the Yankees haul.
Not only could the Yankees land some prime free agents this offseason, but they could also simultaneously turn the first two rounds of the 2009 MLB draft into their personal playground. It really is the perfect storm, as it allows the team to build for next year while not just maintaining their presence in the draft, but actually increasing it significantly. This could be a huge moment for the direction of the franchise and we can only hope that they capitalize on this incredible opportunity.

Why are those tampa bay guys firing baseballs at us?
How many massholes does it take to change a light bulb?
35, 000...
1 to man the fuck up and change the bulb, the other 34,999 to boo and walk away from the light, half way through the changing process.
The only thing Uptons guilty of is killing every Pitch that the sox throw at him...and if that’s a crime, then the crimes would be unsolved because they can’t find the ball because its still sailing through the air somewhere right now.

THE DUCK BOAT JUST SPRUNG A LEAK !!!!
The fact that you wrote this just proves how pathetic you are as a red sox fan. Really? You are down 3-1 in the ALCS so you write something about how the Yankees suck? Possibly the dumbest thing ever posted. Your talking about the team that spends $200 Million on their roster, when you sign every big name free agent some of those times, it is going to pan out. When the Yankees come back with Manny, Teixeria and Sabathia or a combination of 2 you only have yourself to blame.
as a Yankee fan, LOL, I'm loving it!~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
next year odds are our 3 best pichers won't be out for signifigant time during the season and the team will have another 500 million or so in revenues to get ANY free agent they want... including from the small marked Drays...
