Sox Fan on Cape

Why is it when people say that the're going to the Cape, it sounds like their going to some primitive outback settlement. Trust me, we have NESN, cable, the internet, running water, and all the modern conviences. Don't forget to check out some Cape League action. Have a good time.

Only if you want him at DB. We'll throw in spell ckeck and grammar check programs. Sorry, we can't do anything about the IQ level.

Welcome to talksox. In my younger years I was down in Hilton Head, nice fishing, golf, and people.

Just a small point. But shouldn't the title read June 20th ?

Who died and made you referee.

Welcome aboard Rob.

I'm on board.

Fortunately, his mental equivelent Peter34 was banned for stupidity.

I think Clemens is done. As usual, he went for the money with the Yanks. However, he chose poorly, as the Yanks suck in pitching and offense. He be a mediocre to poor pitcher, and then feign an injury. What a sad way to leave the game.

I beleive it was the girl from NH, she tried like 3 more names and banned each time.

Well said.

Mods, you might want to merge this with the Clements thread, it's turned into the same topic.

Sorry if I'm not responding to the exact points mentioned in the above quotes, instead I'm replying to your general point of the Sox erred by not signing Clemens. First, you assumed that the Sox could have signed Roger by matching or slightly increasing the Yankee's offer.That would have been an exercise in futility. The Yankee's are desperate for pitching, and the best free agent can be obtained for cash only, end of story. So what you are saying is, the Sox should get in a straight head to head open bidding war with the Yankee's over what would be a 4 or 5 for us. For the sake of discussion, let's say we got him ( which never would have happened, since the Yankee's would have paid whatever it takes ), he'd be a # 4 or # 5 on the the Sox's current staff. So you're telling me that a 40+ year old, that pitched in the NL, averaging 5-6 innings per start, a projected ERA in the AL east of 3.50 - 4.0 +, should be the highest paid pitcher on the Sox staff ? I'm sorry he's not worth it. Maybe to the Yanks, but certainly not to the Sox. Personally, I think he's a pitcher that's past his usefulness, over priced, and he's never proved to be clutch in the play-offs. I'm glad the Yank's got him, he'll only wear down the bull pen and let them down in the play-offs ( if they make it ).

He's too damn good ! Remember, he's playing against me.

That didn't make my day.

There is another point to consider other then the obvious one of moving up in the 08' draft. That would be that the Pat's didn't see anyone that was available that would be worth 1st round money. Remember that they had to have Brady restructure his contract to accommodate the trade for Moss. Considering the amount of quality moves they made in the off season and an already solid nucleus, there was not much room for rookies to make this team.

IMO, he will suck for them. He'll be back in the American League, in the Eastern Division, and on a s***** team. If he goes to the Yanks, he would prove once and for all that he is a money grabbing whore.

Pssst, it's really May 1 st.

Welcome aboard ! I look forward to seeing your posts.
