But so long as he has those legs, he is not average. And the hope is that he'll become a better QB once he's seasoned and will not rely on his legs so much. I love watching him play. He's like a 23 year old Pedro but for football.

I know it's a pipe dream, but Oswalt is what I hope Clement would/could become. How much are we paying for Clement compared to this deal? About the same/per year?

Ahhhhhhhhhh I LOVE THIS OFFSEASON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No you're not... If you were, you'd have said "Helll no, shawty. I b a shizzle tizzle gangsta nizzle." See? You're clearly not. But I am.

I will not be buying this book. Canseco isn't getting one penny from me. We will never really know who for sure has been doing steroids, so why take the word of someone who's simply out to exploit that? I hope he gets his ass sued for slander if he fails to 100% prove his accusations.

That would be the drunk part.

Boston's Bill Mueller has knee surgery February 10, 2005 BOSTON -- Boston Red Sox third baseman Bill Mueller had arthroscopic surgery to relieve swelling in his right knee, and might be able to return in time for opening day. Dr. David Zeman performed the surgery on Monday. Mueller can resume full baseball activities in four weeks, team spokesman Glenn Geffner said. Zeman also operated on Mueller's right knee last May and the player missed 37 games, though he complained of soreness through the end of the season. Zeman also operated on Mueller's left knee in 2002. The 2003 AL batting champion, Mueller batted .283 with 12 homers and 57 RBIs in 110 games last season. He batted .321 in the playoffs, including .429 in the World Series as the Red Sox won it all for the first time since 1918. His biggest hit came in the fourth game of the AL championship series against the Yankees. With the Red Sox trailing 4-3 in the ninth and New York closer Mariano Rivera on the mound, Kevin Millar drew a no-out walk. Dave Roberts pinch ran for Millar and stole second base before Mueller singled to drive in Roberts. Boston won four straight to beat New York and then swept the St. Louis Cardinals in the Series. DAMMIT. Mueller's one of my favorite players. It's not looking too good with that many repeat surgeries on the knees. A couple more years and he'll be done. Remember what happend to Valentin? Pop. damnit damnit damnit.

That was fun. Here's me. "You are Curt Schilling! You are a trooper. You push yourself to the limit, regardless of any setbacks. You are also not afraid to express your opinions on a variety of topics. Very family-oriented. You're the man!!" Schilling 73% Damon 70% Bellhole 60% Epstein 60% Ramirez 57% Varitek 43% Millar 40% Ortiz 20%

They're goin' down. Oh, yeah!

That was a pretty funny read! Btw, didn't the BC mens team lose last night?? :lol:

I don't get the SP games, but those of you who do should do threads - at least to talk about prospects... NESN's 2005 Boston Red Sox pre-season television schedule Thursday March 3 Minnesota @ Ft.

Yeah, that went right over my head when I was making the board. Out of everyone who joined, only Soxfan, Yanksin2010 and me are not Mods. Why did you guys even enter?

7-7 Halftime. Gertie and Soxfan would have won the pool so far.

0-0 after one quarter.

All he needs is a silver helmet and the look of calm and confidence. Like this. http://bellsouthpwp.net/c/h/chinigor/talksox/tom.gif

Final board has been uploaded. You may need to do an F5 on your keyboard to see the changes. Good luck all. LET'S GO PATRIOTS! :damon: (we need a Tom Brady smiley)

Yeah, the turn out wasn't quite what I thought it would be... I'll push back the final board to 5pm. NO LATER!

Game aside, I hope McCartney pulls out some old OLD Beatles for halftime. That would rock. From what I read, Come Together may be a song....

Very cool. Thanks, Yeszir. The winner of the final game score gets the prize. Good luck!

Here are the final boxes. http://bellsouthpwp.net/c/h/chinigor/talksox/talksoxpool3.gif I know it is short notice, but here's how it would work. Just reply that you want in on the pool. All replies MUST be submitted by Sunday at 11 am. I'll work up another game board with everyone's name in a randomly chosen square. Final game board will be uploaded early Sunday afternoon (1 or 2pm). If you have lucky numbers that you'd like to use, PM me about it and I'll see what I can do (first come, first serve) - but it will be mostly random as I'm not sure how many will want to play. Anyway, if only 10 of you reply, you each get 10 random squares. If there is an uneven amount at the end, the first people to reply to this thread will have first dibs on the remaining squares. The prizes - well it's not up to me. Maybe Yeszir can give you a custom status or something... But even if there are no prizes, it should still be fun to play. I think you can even print it if you're a nut. That's it. GO PATS! EDIT - I guess I should also mention how it works. It usually goes by quarters of the game, but basically, at the end of each quarter and the game there will be a score. Say Pats 17 to the Eagles 3. Whoever has the Pats 7 and the Eagles 3 is the winner of the quarter/game.

Just get off your lazy asses and make one yourself and put it in your avitar . I didn't get to be Wookiee of the Year for nothin' ya know.

Well, it looks like it's over. From BDD "Minky Gives Ball Back to Sox "For One Year" "There was never a fight, there was never words exchanged. It was very cordial, and we worked something out. I want the fans to see it, and that's what both the Red Sox and I agreed on. They waited a long time to see that ball and to live it. The fact that I had it was just so we could keep it and give it to the fans and let them see it. I didn't expect all of this with the ball. Sometimes in life you think you're doing the right thing and it doesn't turn out that way. That's kind of what happened here. I didn't think it was going to come out to this. Like I said, I gave Derek Lowe the Game 7 ball from the ALCS, and no one seems to want that one. There were never any hard feelings about it, though, with me and the front office. The whole thing, when the article came out, was blown way out of proportion. It made it sound like we were fighting for the ball. In order to be a fight, the other side has to not want to give something up and that's not my point. They never asked for it. When they asked for it, they got it. They're coming to get it and now it's over and done with." -- New York Met Doug Mientkiewicz" ===================== Funny. It seems the toughest and longest negotiating the Sox did this offseason was for the ball. I'm glad it's back though.

Looks like he can hit.

I have game 4 and the opening ceremonies from Fenway - but they're not for sale.:harhar:
