8/5 Penny for your thoughts

Teixeira is the difference between 1st and 2nd right now.

 

A major success for the Yankees. A major failure for the Red Sox. It's over, but if you can't point out the biggest reason why the Red Sox aren't 6 or 7 games up in the AL East, I must say you are boarding on sedition.

Its not over, and all these what ifs. Stop dwelling on this and move on. Red Sox have one of the best teams in the league be happy for that, we could be not even close and out of the play off race already if you like.

[P3dro1a15]

prolly serve up a homer cause now hes so worried with upton

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Well at least this is one less game we have to play these a*******. I'm sick of these b******* and I'm sick of losing. Maybe the Yankees will accept cash bribes.

Shut up.

There are no words

[P3dro1a15]

why bother

[dowling25]

Instead of signing Tex' date=' we had to trade Materson and other prospects for Victor Martinez, who is not even close to Tex as far as impacting a lineup.[/quote']

 

Yeah that is true but Martinez is a big bat we need in the middle of the order. Stop bitching.

So us not being in 1st has nothing to do with Papi's early-season suck, our injured 3 an 4 starters, and Bay's slump?

 

Signing Teixeira was a coup for the Yanks, but come on.

lol I was talking about the Teixeira sweepstakes being over, but the ramifications of missing on Teixeira are going to felt for a long time.

[ms_sox]

Clay's gf is tweeting that she hopes he won't be needed tonight, because she wants to see him pitch to the Yanks.

What is her name?

Teixeira would have mitigated the effect of Bay's slump, and may have pushed Ortiz out of the lineup while he was costing the Red Sox wins.

 

Meanwhile, the Yankees would have had a much lesser player at 1B.

Yeah 8 years or whatever his contract is. I agree if the Sox had him they'd be in first in the league, but oh well just forget about it cause there is nothing we can do about it now.

[P3dro1a15]

Is smoltz pitching the first game against the yankees?

This

 

IT WOULD HAVE TAKEN A HISTORICALLY OBSCENE SUM OF MONEY TO SIGN TEIXEIRA. A SUM OF MONEY THAT COULD HIJACK THE MONEY FLOW OF EVEN THE RICHEST TEAMS IN BASEBALL. DO YOU KNOW WHY? BECAUSE TEIXEIRA WANTED TO GO TO THE YANKEES, THE YANKEES BADLY WANTED TEIXEIRA, AND THE YANKEES COULD NOT AFFORD TO HAVE TEIXEIRA LAND WITH THE RED SOX. THEY WOULD HAVE BEATEN ANY OFFER THE RED SOX MADE, REASONABLE OR NOT, UNTIL WE'RE IN THE $350 MILLION RANGE. WHAT THE f*** IS SO f***ING TOUGH TO GRASP ABOUT THIS? f***ING DROP IT PLEASE.

T-H-I-S

 

You forgot one thing, though, how Mrs. Teixeira didn't like the shopping on Newbury Street. How do you answer THAT?

Unless Theo sacks up and gets AG.

[CrespoBlows]

Shut up.

 

Thank you.

 

Why do people think putting an ******* in lieu of saying ****, f***, or dick is any less offensive?

[BSN07]

Score.Runs.Please.

[Dipre]

I highly doubt that.

 

Teixeira alone could not have carried this offense the two times this year it has really slumped.

 

And about the Yanks having a lesser player at 1st, that's conjecture, since they could have swung a deal for someone.

[CrespoBlows]

$350 million? Are you serious? $190 million offer probably would have gotten it done when they sat down during that meeting. Instead, Henry had to pull some stupid f***ing bluff out of his ass.

[BoSox21]

why do I feel like this 4-game set starting tomorrow is gonna have the same ramifications of the 5-game set from 2006?

I'd be very hard pressed to believe the Yankees wouldnt have been the last call Boras made before Tex signed any deal

[CrespoBlows]

Unless Theo sacks up and gets AG.

 

Nope, because AG will cost four prospects, whereas Teixeira only cost $$$.

 

Theo will be absolved when he signs Joe Mauer.

Tex wanted to go to the Yankees, because they offered him more money. I think if the Sox offered him slightly more, he would have said it was always his dream to play for the Red Sox. Anyone of believes the s*** that came out of Tex's mouth is foolish.

[Dipre]

The Sox better sack the f*** up against the Yanks.

They "could" have signed "someone"

 

Instead, they signed Teixeira.

 

 

Getting AG rapes the farm system, Tex costs only money.

[suns]

score soon!

[Dipre]

Nope, because AG will cost four prospects, whereas Teixeira only cost $$$.

 

Theo will be absolved when he signs Joe Mauer.

 

Even if he does cost prospects, imagine the awesomeness of this lineup:

 

Ellsbury

Pedroia

Youkilis

Gonzales

Martinez

Papi

Bay

Drew

SS FAIL.

[ms_sox]

I don't get it, is he in the bullpen or something?

 

What is her name?

Her name is Lindsay Clubine.

And she's making a general comment because of last night's long game. I'm guessing. She's nice and means well, but seems like a bit of an airhead, too.
