  1. http://philadelphia.phillies.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/article.jsp?ymd=20070121&content_id=1783475&vkey=news_phi&fext=.jsp&c_id=phi Not sure if anyone has heard about this, the Phillies have extended Chase Utley's contract to 7 years/$85 million
  2. Agreed. The Pats D this season against the run & the Colts playoff D have the weapons to stop Jones, making Rex "I didnt prepare because it was New Years" Grossman to throw more than he should
  3. Im sorry but Im not putting worriness that the Sox will not contend at all because Hinske is the 5th OF, he seems set to receive playing time at 1st & 3rd base more than the OF. Again you do realize that the opening day roster is never the same during the course of the season? Wait now youre saying even if the Sox last year didnt have the vast ammount of injuries they still wouldve ended up a 3rd place team? Youre really blowing smoke now. If the Sox didnt lose Trot, Varitek, Gonzalez, Wily Mo, Manny, Ortiz, Schilling, Wakefield, Wells (no trade if they were in good shape), and Papelbon... they wouldve been at least in competition for the wild card
  4. I think it will be because of injuries if he sees regular playing time in the outfield not because the Sox suck. He's the 5th OF (in case bad s*** happens), more often than not we will be seeing him at 1st & 3rd. How many teams worry about who is their 5th OF? Remember that opening day rosters are not the same as the playoff rosters. Trades/surprise call ups will be made. Who knew Dave Roberts would be our 5th OF by the end of 04?
  5. Ok... you are blaming the acquisition of Eric Hinske why they finished 3rd place?? Yea the torrid pitching, vast ammount of injuries had nothing to do with it. Just a tad exagerration on your part. Considering he's currently the 5th OF on the active roster... he could start a game once every blue moon. Sorry just laughable is that him starting 1 game in your mind puts the playoff possibilities down the toilet A700 they can only add Erstad if they trade Hinske for whatever they can get, or keep Hinske as the backup 1st baseman and weaken the opening day pitching staff with just an 11 man crew
  6. Freaky. http://losangeles.angels.mlb.com/images/players/mugshot/ph_119811.jpg http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news;_ylt=AulYiIdLRrWc3RU5V3MqlT4RvLYF?slug=ap-Guardians-nixon&prov=ap&type=lgns Trot will be wearing No. 33 because his 5 year old son picked it, reasoning because of his age
  7. Trot thanks for the memories Never forget your pinch-hit walkoff HR in the playoffs, other timely hitting, running into walls defense, devotion to the team, and love for Boston and all us fans http://www.espn.go.com/media/radio/2004/0623/photo/a_trotNixon.jpg
  8. Unless the Sox open with an 11 man pitching staff instead, yes it could be done. But Hinske is still on the team and trade talks about him have simmered, he is currently the backup 1st baseman/3rd baseman/5th outfielder
  9. At the same time we had a healthy Rodney Harrison and a still in his better playing days Eugene Wilson. Fingers crossed for Sunday the secondary disrupts the passing game any
  10. http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/article.jsp?ymd=20070115&content_id=1779599&vkey=hotstove2006&fext=.jsp Great PR move by Texas I thought they had moved on from accused juiced sluggers (ie Canseco, Palmeiro)
  11. Anyone see clips of LT speaking to the press? He was choking back while saying "and when we see New England imitating Shawn Merriman's lights out dance, that is just disrespectful" Ah Im playing the world's smallest violin for you
  12. Pedroia is going to turn 24, players even younger than him have starting jobs. Some people are putting way too much in a grand total of 89 ABs, let alone those were inconsistent. Give the kid a chance, he will not disappoint. 4 for 41 start hurt his first impression He then rebounded to finish the season with 14 Hits in 48 ABs for a .276 avg
  13. Hats off to Stephen Gostowski showing so far he's got the balls to kick clutch field goals in the playoffs
  14. Missed f***ing field goal!! Haha my confidence (though hated by some) never subsided that the Pats would win this f***ing game!
  15. 24-21 baby!!! Way to go Gostowski!! 1:14 left to hold back LT
  16. Now you know how we feel last year
  17. Caldwell the ex-Charger sticks it to his old team
  18. What a f***ing play!!!!!!! Tied game with 4:40 left
