Who would you prefer to play in the first round?

Wood was a nice pickup by the Yanks, but of course, the Sox had no need for him.

Buchholz bringing the suck tonight. He's wrecking my last fantasy team.

Will Clay get an out in this start?

He should've put the ball in his pocket. I couldn't believe he threw the ball.

That accident was a couple of years ago. We were involved in another major collision on August 29th as we were taking things up to Boston to help my daughter move. We were the third car in a three car collision. Some kid coming back up to school didn't notice that the traffic had stopped in the right lane of I-91 to exit to I-84 at Hartford. The girl hit the pickup truck behind us at such a high speed that her van went airborne and started flipping/rolling. It ended up upside down and they had to cut her out of the vehicle. Amazingly, she was alive and they told us that she only hurt her shoulder. All of us got taken to the hospital-- 6 people from the three vehicles. I told my wife that she was extremely luck to be in two such violent collisions and survive. The middle car got it the worst taking a major rear end impact and then colliding with us. The driver was bleeding and had a tooth in his hand. His daughter was also bleeding and crying. They were about 10 minutes from their destination at UConn. Here's the back of the pickup truck.

Tampa just blew a big lead. Jose Bautista just hit his second HR off Benoit to tie the game at 8.

One thing makes me doubt this. Manny is notoriously cheap. If he made the Hall, he'd be likely to try to sell the plaque on Ebay.

My wife got hit by a drunk driver who totalled our SUV at 60 mph. He was traveling from her right in the intersection at highway speed. He blew through a red light. She never saw him coming. He hit her on the right front bumper spinning her completely around and deploying all the airbags. She was very lucky that he didn't hit any further back on the vehicle. If he had hit at wheel depth or further back, her car may not have spun out and it would have absorbed even more of a devastating impact. As it was, the car was demolished. When I called the insurance company, he said that it was unlikely that the car was totalled, because it was only 1 month old with 2k miles. He said that he would have to write more than 20k in damages. I told him that I was pretty sure it was totalled, because the entire car was bent up and crushed. As soon as he got to the salvage yard, he called me to tell me that it was a total loss. Anyway, the dirtbag that hit her had been pinballing down the street before he entered the intersection in his stupor. He never slowed up. My wife never saw him coming. There were no skid marks at the sight of the accident. It was a full speed collision. If the point of contact had not been so small, the accident certainly would have been fatal. The dirtbag would not have stopped after the accident except for the fact that after contact he caromed off course and ran directly into the local fire department's brick supported sign. He knocked down one column of the brick supports. The good news was that the fireman were on the scene immediately and cut my wife from the car and sent her to the hospital. When I got to the hospital, I heard the dirtbag being interviewed as he was on the other side of the curtain from my wife. He stated that he had been taking Xanax, Vicoden, Prozac, plus he had been drinking. At one point, he was whining that he didn't understand why he had been arrested. He didn't think he had done anything wrong. He was so out of it that he didn't even realize that he had caused an accident. I had to send my son outside, because I thought he was going to rip the guy's head off, and he was in police custody. Weeks later the DA called me and asked my wife to give a statement. The DA told me that the guy had prior offenses. He had a prior DUI and he had a prior conviction for leaving the scene of an accident. This guy was not going to clean up his act until he went to jail for homicide or he killed himself. We never found out what happened to the guy. The DA never called back, so I assume that it was plead out. Hopefully, an accident with a high profile athlete will get more attention and the DA will be forced to throw the book at this guy and get him off the street.

Oh, okay.

Is he an idiot? If Tom Brady and the other guy were drowning and you had one life preserver. You could only save one person. Who would you save? Let's assume that the other person is not a woman or a child, but just another guy who is the same age as Brady.

Example getting pissy with a Yankee fan. Lol! It's about time. If you interact with them long enough, you come to realize that they should never be treated with respect. I live with them. They are a loathsome group. Keep up the good work.

I don't know if any of the things that he proposed can be accomplished. I do agree that they need to do something bold to reassert themselves within the AL East. If they just rely on guys getting healthy, I think we will find ourselves in a similar situation next season.

I'm glad that I did not pick him in my draft last night. I heard that it was not a minor accident, but that he wallked away from it and he has already called the Patriots. It doesn't seem that he has any serious injury. On another note, does anyone think that this guy may be living just a bit too fast even for an NFL QB?

The Sox played to much station to station this season. There were to many games where they had a bunch of hits and very few runs. Speed pressures a defense and causes mistakes. Ellsbury maybe over-rated, but his speed is a very useful weapon. The key is that his value is at rock bottom. Thatks not when you sell an asset. I think he will be a Red Sox in 2011.

I really can't believe that members are researching and debating the minor league stats of some nobody. Here's the relevant fact about Navarro. We just need to take a poll as to what percentage of the die hard fans on this site will lose their lunch if the 2011 Red Sox break camp with Navarro as the starting SS. If I wanted to root for a team with that caliber of player, I'd root for the Long Island Ducks of the Independent League.

And that is why the Yanks are the best team in baseball and we are in a free-fall. In this scenario, we would be the Orioles.
