Thanks. It was a fun year.

What a bunch of spoiled lazy brats. This topic has been discussed in-depth before and certainly doesn't require a new thread. Has anything dramatically changed with regards to the Red Sox stadium needs/opportunities ? Answer, no it hasn't. All that has happened is the Yankees went out and spent a boat load of money on three players. This is not a news item. The Yankees have money, the Yankees spend money. So we didn't get Tex, big deal. So you say that this is a money problem. We should build a new stadium so we can compete with the Yankees. Translated, that means we should destroy what we have to be like the Yankees. I'm sorry, I don't want to be like the Yankees, ever. I doubt any Yankee fan would like the Yankees to be like the Red Sox. Come to think of it, maybe they would. The score does stand 2-0 this century. So let's proceed with this faulty assumption that a new stadium is needed to "compete" with the Yankees. Great, we need a new 50,000 seat stadium. Where are you going to put it ? The three most popular responses were : 1) on the current site, 2) on the parking lots, 3) the suburbs. Looking at option one, not feasible for two reasons. One, you can't build a 50,000 seat stadium in 5 months. Two, there's the problem of destroying a building that is on the National Historic Register. Then there's that well thought out option of building it on the parking lots. What parking lots ? So I guess that leaves the suburbs. How far out in the "suburbs" ? Of what city ? Certainly not Boston. Do you people not think that feasibility studies have been done ? There is no infra structure in place to support such a project. Maybe there's a reason that the owners have committed to staying and improving Fenway. BTW, spending over # 120 million on improvements is not maintenance ( as implied by Jackson ). I almost forgot the issue of the 1918 seats. Now there's a deal breaker. Let me see if I have this right. Because your sorry fat ass can't fit into the seats you purchase, the rest of Red Sox Nation should drive to the sticks ( oh, and be like the Yankees ) ? The Red Sox recently demolished the 406 Club and built luxury seating with wait staff. During this off season, they ripped out the red seats and replaced them with wider seats. Because this thread had nothing new to add the divergence to other unrelated topics and personal assaults was inevitable. Saying the Red Sox cut payroll, with the implication that they are cheap is ridiculous. Tell me at the end of the year what was spent and what was accomplished, then I might listen.

The whole season comes down to Greg Jennings on MNF. Can he get 15 pts ?

Yea, I always like it when Yahoo tells you a day or tywo latter that a player didn't play.

It wasn't directed to you or anyone specific. Just a general observation. There won't be much of an effect this week, but more so next week and the week after.

Powder Puff Panzies ( SFOC) vs. The Hitman ( ORS). Doesn't sound cery good does it ? Oh well, go luck to everyone.

Fear more the fantasy teams that have stud players on teams that have clinched and will be "rested".

Welcome to Talksox.

That's the kind of talk I like to hear !

I'm counting on you having a great week.

Somewhat lacking in confisdence.

Yes, you do. It was brought up that the play-off format wasn't the same as last year's, so it was adjusted.

You're correct. I checked the setting and it was on the default ( 4 teams ). I have changed it to six teams with a bye for the top two.

I wad referring back a few years when the NHL started expanding the playoff to the point where your team has to be aweful not to make the playoffs. I wasn't giving you any grief.

You must be am NHL fan.

Thats what happens when you disappear for a month.

I'm thinking they will use him as a bench player.

Nope. I'd consider yhem hollow yards.

Ditto.

It helps if you fill all your positions, and play your best players. PS : Adam V. is available for tonight.

Take em anyway you can get em.

Yea, he works undercover for NFL investigations.

You still might win.
