  1. I'll set up an official Talksox league through yahoo if there's interest. I think it would be best if I ran the official league given some of the issues in the past. This would be a premium league as in years past so there would be an entry fee and possibly a cash prize for the winner.
  2. I think they realize it
  3. Pretty sure I'm preaching to the choir but yes, this is a no brainer.
  4. So did I. Anyone else?
  5. Solution: Don't read the Herald
  6. First of all, Google will get you a fast answer if you want to find out what the NBA team from Boston is. Second of all, it isn't a factor of how many people follow the sport. Team and league revenues are probably the biggest factor in wages. Man U had team revenue of $310 million in 2006 according to Forbes. http://www.forbes.com/lists/2007/34/biz_07soccer_Manchester-United_340001.html. The Yankees had revenue of $441 million http://www.forbes.com/lists/2010/33/baseball-valuations-10_New-York-Yankees_334613.html and the sox had revenues of $244 million (now surely higher) http://www.forbes.com/lists/2010/33/baseball-valuations-10_Boston-Red-Sox_330700.html. Baseball and football have been ruthlessly monetized and, all things considered, salaries aren't that much higher. The average english premiere salary is 1.8 million dollars. MLB's average salary is 3 million. We still have free agency, I don't think the draft has anything to do with it.
  7. That was exciting
  8. Ray's gonna break the record tonight against the Lakers. It's on TNT now. Watch.
  9. Are you an ex Boston Herald person?
  10. The article/slideshow from the Globe is pretty interesting. Certainly a good segway to debate. http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/redsox/gallery/2011/0214_rankingthe2011redsox/ Their rankings are as follows: 1 John Lester 2 Kevin Youkilis 3 Adrian Gonzalez 4 Dustin Pedroia 5 Carl Crawford 6 Clay Buchholz 7 Josh Beckett 8 David Ortiz 9 Jacoby Ellsbury 10 John Lackey 11 Daniel Bard 12 Jonathan Papelbon 13 Jarrod Saltalamacchia 14 Jed Lowrie 15 J.D. Drew 16 Daisuke Matsuzaka 17 Bobby Jenks 18 Dan Wheeler 19 Mike Cameron 20 Marco Scutaro 21 Jason Varitek 22 Tim Wakefield 23 Felix Doubront 24 Darnell McDonald 25 Scott Atchison
  11. Thanks I'm all over this
  12. Welcome. I merged your threads
  13. How do they even find these guys?
  14. Not death in a bottle I guess but definitely not worthy of a celebration
  15. You wouldn't make it to opening day alive...
  16. Who's celebrating!?
  17. Good riddance
  18. There are so many factors that go into winning that answering the "best manager ever" question is impossible. If all teams played with the same players in the same parks at the same times then maybe you could give it a shot. I'd take Tito over almost anyone else at this point, so that counts for something.
  19. Salty will break out this year just you watch
  20. Gotta love the virtual waiting room
  21. The O's just signed Nick Green. We're doomed.
  22. Yea but who cares about that stuff?
