RedSoxRooter

"A local artist showed his pride" That's pretty cool. Too bad they're adding more signage.

I'm FalconsRooter for this game.

Maybe I'm just stupid, but why would you want a blog on a message board? Sure, it would be nice to have a thread all to myself that nobody else could post to (so I could post all kinds of stuff that's cool only to me), but that's what personal web space is for, isn't it?

His username should be NoZir.

Theo was asked in a radio interview last week on Weei what he planned to do with HanRam. He said he currently has no intention of trading him. When asked why they don't move him to 2b or 3b, Theo said that it was not out of the question, but for right now he wanted Ramirez to continue playing SS because it's the most important and covetted position in the infield. Sooo it would seem to me that if the right trade came along, they may unload him as a SS at a higher value. But if no such trade happens, they will amost certainly replace Mueller or Bellhorn with him once they are done in Boston.

Plumpa, meet ahhchon

How much of the contract do the DBacks have to pay? I don't think the Sox will exceed the Tax threshold this year again. But if he would only cost 3 Million or so, then why not?

Wow, smiley's I've never seen before! When it comes to Vick, you can take the stats and chuck 'em right out the window. I have the pleasure of watching all the Falcons games here, and let me tell ya - when Vick is on, nobody can stop him. It's just that simple. When he's in a groove, it throws everyone off. He does cough up the ball more than he should, but he's been getting better at that. Brady....... Love the guy, but I don't think he'd have much success without the Bellicheck system. I was telling a friend just today that the only team left that I think could possibly beat the Patriots was the Falcons. Why? Because when push comes to shove, the Patriots can beat a good offense and or a good defense on any given day. But Vick - if he's on his game - is something that the Pats can't really prepare for. Try and blitz, he'll be in the end zone before you know what hit you. Tie down the recievers, he'll just run for 10 yards. Take away the running game - you can't. He'll still beat you. And to make it all the more crazy, it looked last week as if Vick was playing at a higher level for the playoffs. Don't get me wrong though. There is nothing more that I'd rather see than a Pats/Falcons Super Bowl. Can one man beat a "team"? I don't know, but if there is such a player out there still in the playoffs, Vick's the guy.

Exactly. He would have come off as a tool if he switched favorite teams just because he was employed by the Sox. Good for him for being a true fan. (and for voting bushy!).

Kind of like 2090 can't have surgery to replace the brain that's missing from his head?

Just don't ban the word "Suck"

Oh God. I don't know what I'd do if it were Pats and Falcons. I'd be happy with either team, let alone both. I'd be rooting Pats for the whole "dynasty" label, but I'd be rooting for Vick and the Falcons because it would be sweet where I live.... :dunno:

The dude looks like Freddy Kruger http://bostondirtdogs.boston.com/Headline_Archives/RJ_NYY_AP_BDD.jpg

They are going to donate 1 Million from the season opener against Boston.

It's his ball to keep - MLB even says so. But if he has half a soul he'd sell it to the Red Sox and nobody else. Christ, this would be like John Henry at an antique auction or something... "2 Million ya want??? no problem..." Henry should get this ball for the fans by buying it from Minky at almost any cost.

I thought you were giving a Thumbs Up to the Tsunami.

Oh my god you just gave me a heart attack. You said he had surgery.

Exactly. This is why the Sox have had a better offseason so far. The Yankees only needed to upgrade, much like we upgraded last year with Schilling and Foulke. The Red Sox HAD to go out and replace their #2 and #3 starters, replace their SS and try to sign their 3rd baseman and catcher. We lost Pedro, Cabrera, Williamson, Lowe, Roberts, Reese, Millar or Minky and Kapler - yet we are almost as good, if not deeper than last year. AND, we still have some holes to fill. The Yankees surely upgraded from last year, but Theo basically rebuilt 1/3 of the team with players that can come close to/match/or even exceed last years FAs. Oh, and our payroll will be more flexable since we are spending I think 10 million less than last year and, AND, we didn't lose a single prospect in doing so. Come the trade deadline, the Sox will be sitting pretty and the Yankees - should they need someone - will not be as flexible. This is why the Sox have had the better offseason if you ask me. Just an interesting Sox tid bit here: Last year's opening day rotation plus the number 6 starter win totals for 2004: (yes, I know wins are overrated, but here they are anyway..) 75 wins. This year's opening day rotation plus the number 6 starter - if they collectively total the same number of wins they had last year. 71 wins. I think Miller and Clement, if healthy, can win more than the 16 total games they won last year, don't you? They could probably both win 16.

Why don't they just go back to the classic California Angels?

I'm still basking in the glow of last year (it was less than 9 weeks ago!). Spring training can take it's time getting here. I just watched the MLB World Series DVD. It was a lot better than I thought it would be. I left me spent all over again.

so then how come yours works and ours don't? :damon:

Thanks. I know the wall in center near the bullpen is all wrong. I'd love to get some input on it. There's so much more I know now in Director to make it cool.

While upgrading my computer, I came across this game I made in '01. I may go back to working on it. It's a shockwave game version of Home Run Derby at Fenway. You'll get the idea. Here's the game. http://bellsouthpwp.net/c/h/chinigor/ballgame/ Things I want to add: Updated graphics. (Monster seats!) Different types of hits - right now it's only HRs. Make the player graphics my own. Make it a true multiplayer game with the pitcher and batter. The rest of the instructions are in the game. Any input would be helpful. *This game was made in 4 days, so it's obviously not done..... (ps... the one thing coming back to the game after 4 years is, I can't hit the fastball to save my life.)

Congrats Noah. I get a error 404 on the Avatar page. Chewy no like.
