There was an excellent column by that bald guy in Sports Illustrated today. It's somewhere near the early middle. It rang true. I've seen 8 year old little leaguers in yankee uniforms get booed at parades.
Elmininating the Twins/Nats would be ridiculous. Both have a loyal fan base which should be able to convince the FOs to get a stadium done if it means contraction.
Shoutboxes, from what I've seen, get pretty messy and really look out of place on a forum. I'd rather pay the 10 bucks for flashchat, a popular chat program, and intergrate it with the site.
It was hypothetical. I understand the reasoning from a baseball perspective, but why pay 20+ mil for a guy who, I can almost guarantee, feels no loyalty here?
I watched him pitch for 3 years and I distinctly remember going to a game that he pitched in. Regardless of whether or not I was analyzing his pitching mechanics at the time, why do we want a guy back who took a huge s*** all over Boston when he left?
If he comes here and starts winning I'll still hate the guy. I don't understand it. So all this apparent hatred from our end was just a facade? Kind of like the yankees and Johnny Damon. You hate him until he starts to play for you? What kind of crap is that.
I hope to hell Clemens retires and doesn't come to Boston.
