omg! i thought i told u 2 change ur sig. unless im straight up hustlin' fo sho do? Seriously, that had no intent to it.

That's you, though. Sheffield, and Bonds are both over-controlling people. Do you seriously expect Bonds to not know what's going into his body? It's a brillant legal tacit, but common sense tells you that's probably not what happen.

Except whine and bitch. Which probably could work. If you throw Bonds out, then you got to throw Giambi, and all those other players who have used steriods out of baseball.

That's a wall ball single at Fenway. Nice at-bat though.

Pena fans on a curveball in the dirt. He's got a lot of work to do.

Lot's? That isn't a contraction, or a form of ownership.

Talking about "bitch slaps", if you ever tried to fill one out they'd put four fingers across your face. Note: To anyone who agrees with this douche on his politics, do you really want to side with someone whose majority of post contain LOLZ! STFU! UR GAY! BUSH LIES! LOLZ1 I mean, I respect people's opinions on just about anything, but you? s*** man, you've taken over Soxfan place as resident TalkSox guy who loves to rest dicks in their mouths.

Hey, it's L-U-C-A. Shows what a fan you are, jackass.

Have you ever been to Yankee Stadium? EDIT* Actually, I kind of see the reference.

NO!!! I H*TE DAMON AS WELL. i cant belive it wow i let baseball get personal u suk damon i hope u die .rly i do. lol LOZ!!!!!!111111111111111 lol!11

Congrats, for pointing that out.

The Dolphins are winning this division. Don't even doubt it. They added Culpepper to the offense, (which by the way has turned around completely) and added Will Allen as their 2nd corner, who is by far better than Sam Madison. It'll probably be close, but seriously the Patriots need to do some work. They have no running game, and their recieving corps is decimated. That defense still has the potential to be good, but they need to add more.

I can't believe you guys. You have the balls to rip a guy who won THREE SUPER BOWLS. Holy s***, it's true. Pats fans are Yankee fans.

Stick to baseball. You have no football knowledge at all. In fact, you should probably switch to badminton; since no one here probably knows anything about that, you could probably fake like you know something. Anyone who says that they'd lose faith in the Patriots front office should be shot. Seriously did you actually say that? That's just stupid. They should build Scott Pioli a statue, and assign people to carry him around Boston.

Yeah, I'm sure Johnny Damon will read this. Seriously, I am Johnny Damon, and I want you to knock it off. I love Boston, don't make fun of me. I will be able to shrug off the booing, because I am chate. Unlike you. I also have long hair, or "had". :damon: This makes me want to cry.

Pena made his debut today. He went 1-1 with a walk. Oh, and the Red Sox lost 9-7.

You haven't complemented Pena on anything. You've tried to discredit him based on his streakiness, and lack of plate discipline. The problem I have with your post is the glaring contridiction you stated. You ultimately stated that Cano's plate discipline is acceptable because he doesn't strike out. But you had orginally stated that Pena's undoing would be his lack of plate discipline. Why would Cano be spared of that erosion, while Pena would be afflicted with it? Power hitters, do strikeout more than slap hitters. Look at A-Rod he fanned 100 times this year, only in rare cases do power hitters not strikeout. Pena, is only 24 years old, and has time to develop. He pounded 46 HR's in only 647 AB's. I'm not an expert, but anyone with that kind of power potential is certainly worth taking the risk on. Especially for a 29 year old pitcher who can't control his fastball, and had a K/9 rate of under five. Even if Pena's plate discipline doesn't develop, he's still a .260/.320/.540 hitter. I'll take an .860 OPS.

You can try to discredit Pena, but anyone who can mash 20 HR's in 300 AB's is a pretty good player. Throw in the fact that he's only 24 years old, and I think that the Red Sox landed a future star.

You missed his point. He said he didn't like how Red Sox fans critized Damon for being a sellout, but didn't call the Red Sox out for trading Arroyo. It was a knock on the fans, not the team. If you read his post below mine on the fourth page, you can see where he states he doesn't blame the Red Sox for making the trade. Why is it an ******* move? He didn't give us a discount, he's a relief pitcher, and getting paid 4 million for a relief pitcher is pretty fair. He wasn't given an assurance that he wasn't going to be traded. It's no one else's fault but his own. As for the Johnny Damon signing, he didn't owe us anything. He had every right to sign with the Yankees. It was just another business decision. I'm curious to hear, why that's different.

Condi Rice will be the next comissioner. I guarantee it.

I was going to try to reveal that his statement was biased. If he wants to talk about a glaring lack of plate discipline, then Cano is subject A. 16 walks in 522 AB's. That's atrocious. Even compared to Pena's, 22 in 311 AB's.

What? Bronson Arroyo is 29 years old. How much better do you expect him to be?

He averages a HR every 16.2 AB's. That hardly sounds like garbage. Pena is still a young guy, who has tremendous power potential. I think it's well worth the risk, and probably a massive steal off the Reds. In a entirely unrelated subject, do you think Robinson Cano will improve on his '05 stats this year?

Yes, you're correct. If you want to say your team is the best, then by all means you're entitled to do so. You do reserve the right to call Damon a traitor, but that pendelum swings both ways. If your team says they are not going to trade you and they kick your ass out the door, that's breaking one's word as well. But, I'm a little confused, are you saying the Red Sox were wrong in trading Arroyo? As far as I know right now, the Red Sox have done nothing wrong. Arroyo, just signed for less than the average pitcher would have received. That doesn't guarantee him protection.

Excellent comparsion. I was trying to think of someone, but this fits.
