    They will do what owners do-- put the money in their pockets. I don't mind in this case. Dempster quitting is addition by subtraction.

    He's a young man. Unless he has been diagnosed with a fatal disease, this is an incredibly stupid decision. His divorce will take a big chunk of what he has earned. A couple of decades will erode more of his holdings and he will still be a young man with no prospects of being a big earner. Idiots like this also tend to invest their money poorly. The guy is a dope. Viewpoint has nothing to do with it.

    I am glad that he walked, but it is an incredibly stupid decision. There is information out there that he and his wife were getting divorced in the fall. If that is true, he is an even bigger jerk. His wife will get half of what he has left from his earning up to this point. Whatever he earns going forward would be 100% his. It's no wonder that his wife is divorcing this jackass.

    Turning your back on $13 million is unbelievably stupid.

    Of course that is true. If Theo had not thrown his his hissy fit after 2005, we might not have traded Hanley for Beckett and 2007 would not have happened. There frequently are cascading consequences of transactions. We can't even be certain about Pedro's impact on the 2005 team. Projecting what retaining him would have done to the team's fortunes down the road is really an imprecise exercise.

    Unless he has a fatal illness, this guy is a fool. LOL!! This guy may be the biggest fool to wear a Red Sox uniform. LOL!!

    Mark Mulder's comeback didn't last very long.

    Doji, 2005 Pedro would not have made us worse. We had an all-time great offense and the teams that won that year were meh. I think you are closing your eyes to the posibilities? We know what the reality was. 2005 Pedro would not have made that reality worse.

    Wow, you have some wild crush on the guy don't you. Don't let me burst your bubble about him.

    I have no problem with it either. He scores off the field at an admirable rate. I have been involved in quite a bit of sex and debauchery in my life, so I have no problem with it, but I would not have termed any of it as classy even if I thought to give away goodie bags. LOL!!!
  11. a700hitter
    I don't think YOTN is any of those things. LOL!
  12. a700hitter
    I think that is true. He became self-centered and complacent.
  13. a700hitter
    Why do you keep harping on this? If you were fine with giving it up for a goodie bag and a ride home, that's your business.
  14. a700hitter
    IMO Beckett strained his lat because he was not in game shape from being shut down for about a month due to his princess and the pea act. That's my opinion. His absence for the 3 weeks or a month also cost us the division title IMO. We finished 2 games behind the rays.
  15. a700hitter
    I didn't say that it wasn't the right business move. I am just saying that Pedro on the 2005 team could have brought another championship. I still believe that.
  16. a700hitter
    This is not a court of law. I don't need evidence to have an opinion about Jeter. I give him all his props as a player. The guy had an incredible career, but the whole class thing and Captain Intangibles BS is just a bunch of BS to me. That's my opinion. Stick it in your pipe and smoke it Yankee fan,
  17. a700hitter
    Not having Pedro in 2005 may have cost us a back to back championship. We had a beast of an offensive team that season. I'm not complaining with 3 championships in 10 seasons, but I do think that Pedro would have done a better job in the playoffs than Matt Cement Head Clement. Let's not forget that we played a s*** ton of money for that piece of garbage.
  18. a700hitter
    Josh Beckett and his princess and the pea routine cost us the division championship in 2008 and very possibly another World Championship.
  19. a700hitter
    Doji, I get your points, and they are mostly valid, but it was a terrible terrible trade. Arroyo has been a productive and more importantly a durable MLB pitcher for almost 10 years. Wily Mo was a trainwreck on every level. Even Theo gave a mea culpa on that trade calling it a mistake.
  20. a700hitter
    My point is that people mistake quiet for classy. Jeter is not classy, just quiet. He maybe the only high profile star that has played for almost 20 years and never gave the press a single memorable quote. He's a great player and a gamer, but the guy has zero personality.
  21. a700hitter
    It will be strange watching the Yankees without him. He had become such a fixture. I was hoping that he would play longer as his defense would deteriorate to the point where he would be very detrimental to his team. This announcement could spur on Drew to sign with the Yanks. He'd have to suck it up this season and bounce around the IF, but the position would be his in 2015. I guess Jeter was a classy guy. He gave his sexual conquests goodie bags of memorabilia and he had his driver take them home. So classy.

    You have pretty much summed up the situation. Their hard core long time fans hate the ownership group and the hate Selig for helping them to keep the Mets.

    I have stayed in the Copley Marriott several times. It is a very nice place. Red Sox Destinations goes first class. I will be there on Saturday and Sunday. I'll call you before hand to arrange a meeting place.
  24. a700hitter
    The Mets have not been the same since they got rocked by the Madoff scandal. They were very involved with Madoff, and i suspect that they took a big hit. I can't point to specific evidence, because there is always the cloak of secrecy when it comes to the finances of baseball teams. It is a fact that MLB had to step in to lend them money a couple of years back to help them meet payroll. I will be in Boston on Opening weekend. We will have to arrange to meet.

    Pumpsie hasn't attempted a comeback. This is one of the usual suspects-- a special breed of douche bag.
