  1. I am hoping this situation will have the same type of outcome.
  2. Bengie Molina is a free agent. http://boston.redsox.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20101123&content_id=16189264&vkey=news_bos&c_id=bos
  3. I'm not writing off Salty, but I'm not willing to give the keys to a $175 million team to an unproven commodity. I'd rather have another full-time option and give Salty the opportunity to win the job. I am not convinced that he can hold down even the backup job, although it would be hard to be worse than Kevin Cash. Salty hasn't shown anything at the major league level, so I am skeptical.
  4. They need to get Crawford. Period.
  5. He could platoon with Salty. He's better than Tek at this point. Plus, if Salty goes down in flames, which I expect that he will, AJ can handle the full time job.
  6. What about signing A.J. Pierzynski?
  7. and you handle it so well. You can take the final word, because nothing could stop you. I'm done contributing to the clutter on this thread by continuing this argument.
  8. Just because you consider yourself to be a real fan and you don't go to the games doesn't mean that the people who go to the games are pink hats or that the pink hats spend more money than real fans. There is not a shred of logic or fact to back up that assertion. Since you follow most of the games on GameDay, I guess you must also conclude that mostly pink hats have MLB Xtra Innings.
  9. This is the problem. You think your opinions are facts. Delusional.
  10. This is what I call him. I'm tired of people stealing my material.
  11. Yes, that's me. I'm always backing down from arguments and discussions. I'm not going to engage in a discussion with someone who starts out with an insult as a way of "calling me out." I am always up for a good sports discussion even with people who disagree with me, but I'll not be baited by people who are trying to "call me out" with the purpose of proving me wrong instead of just having a discussion of the issues. I've outgrown that schoolyard mentality. When you grow up enough to sit at the big boys table, I'll take you seriously and engage you like an adult.
  12. That's because baseball is the business. I still think if we had Pedro and Lowe in 2005 the Sox would have won back to back titles. Our staff was atrocious without them, but the record-breaking offense still managed to win a lot of games. In the post season, you need some pitching. The only ace we had in 2005 (Schilling) didn't get a playoff start. Would keeping those guys in 2005 have prevented the 2007 Championship? Yes, it might have.
  13. Making Jeter walk to another team would solve the bigger problem inevitably coming down the pike-- telling Jeter he has to move from SS.
  14. I understand that. See my prior post responding to Ital.
  15. More trolling. Still not biting.
  16. From a business standpoint, they usually make the right decision. Also, we are judging these contracts in their totality after the fact. However, I still wonder whether we would have won back to back championships if we had kept Derek Lowe and a very effective Pedro (All Star in 2005) for one more season. The White Sox were no powerhouse. It was embarrassing to role out Matt "cement head" Clement to start game 1 of the Playoffs.
