    Piss off. The "angry types" have explicitly stated their anger. I'm only stating fact. The "back patting" is exactly what's happening, and is it not insulting when they categorize everyone else as fools the FO has tricked? It's funny how you don't ask them to quit with the generalizations and characterizations. You are a real piece of work. You talk out of both sides of your mouth.

    I don't think there's any question that they didn't make a push for pieces this trade deadline. The angry types are acting like they are hip to some special insight into the situation there. No, it's obvious they've decided to stand pat. There's no pulling the wool over anyone's eyes. It's plain as day. So, if we can move beyond the back patting, we can talk about the real issue. Should they have traded some of their minor league talent for reinforcements? I don't think they should have. With Beckett and Lackey being so awful, and now with Pedroia and Youk out, I think they are a fatally flawed team, regardless of how they have been able to stay within striking distance. An OF and/or another effective RP would just be a coat of polish on the turd. While those types of moves would get them closer to the dance, and maybe even into it, I don't think they make them serious contenders to win the dance.

    Do it twice and you are fired, if I'm in charge.

    Is now the time to take Yamaico Navarro seriously?

    The usual tends to do the trick. Just be yourself.

    I have YES with AT&T Uverse right now, but no games. Are they paying the MLB for national broadcast rights like TNT did?

    When was the last time they lost out on a guy they wanted? Part of the tangible doucheyness of Yankee fans is the sense of the entitlement, as displayed by Jacko's surety that they will get him. That expectation of always getting what is desired is based on the history of them, well, actually always getting the guys they target. Perception is reality.

    Translation: When you use tact, you leave me some room to still be a smartass. When you are succint, I pretty much just shut my yap. Yep, lesson learned.

    No, but when your jokes frame the issue incorrectly, sometimes those laughing are laughing at you.

    So, Marc Batting-Practice-Ski isn't really working out so well there, Toronto.

    The first game is actually the regular time for tomorrow's game, so you would have missed it anyway.

    NTC, let's spell it out......No Trade Clause. When you are released, you are released....period.

    What choice does Damon have if he's released? He could not show up, but that will hurt his next contract if he adds "prima-donna" to his already fading resume. Detroit has him by the balls here. He refuses a trade to Boston, and they don't have to recall him from waivers, making him go to Boston anyway so they can save some coin.

    I think an arbitration offer to Damon is a risky proposal. I think the market will be shy of more than a 2-year deal, and given that he hits like a CF but needs to play LF, I'd be very surprised if it was for more than $6M a year. With arb, he'd make the same or more than he does now. And being a type-A wouldn't help, because I doubt teams would be interested in losing their first round pick for him. I agree that he'd play better defense, but I don't see any guarantee of more offense. If he's free (by that I mean he only costs the remainder of his contract), sure, take him. Otherwise, don't bother.

    Please, the part in bold is the only way you ever come down on this issue. "Now" has nothing to do with it. Now, then, always, and forever.
