Hopefully, he finds someone good that can help him and not just throw some pills at him.

That's right I don't. You are wrong on both counts. That's why your attempt at baiting me have been unsuccessful on this issue and you continue to let me own you. I don't think that I have posted anything positive about Nixon in more than 2 years. In the 2006 off-season I thought that Drew was way over-priced, and I thought the Sox should have signed Nixon on the cheap for one year and saved themselves $11-12 million until better OF options became available in 2007. The issue was $. It had nothing to do with this "Dirt Dog" issue that you are obsessed with. I was very critical of Drew's performance in 2007. At the end of July that year, he was batting under .250, with 6 Hrs and a .728 OPS. No one was happy with that. In the middle of that summer, I read an article about his son who had a disease or condition that required surgery where they had to break his bones or something horrendous and that he had to be in a full body cast for months. At that point, I realized that something else was probably affecting his play, so I didn't criticize his play for the rest of that year. So, again you are 100% wrong about both of your assumptions about me being anti-Drew and Pro-Nixon, but you continue to beat that drum anyway. My continued ownage of you on this makes me giggle to myself. So the FO office will not consider that his advancing age might go hand in hand with an increased probability of injury resulting from physical wear and tear, including his prior injury problems to his knee and wrist? You don't think that would reduce his market value? Well, I am glad that you are not running the organization.

You're right. If they don't pull him back and the Red Sox can't make a deal for him, the Red Sox would still have to take him and pay his full salary. The Mets will let the time expire and hand him to the Sox, and the Sox will have to pay his entire salary.

It shouldn't take much for a psychologist to get to the root of his problems. He's had major arm surgery and his career is at a crossroads and he works for possibly the worst organization in baseball. His outlook is bleak, depressing. Instead, they'll load him up on pharmaceuticals.

I have heard a rumor from several reliable sources that the Mets are in financial distress. I don't think the Mets will be interested in getting a prospect. They will just want to be free up from the financial burden. If the Red Sox nickel and dime them by trying to get the Mets to take some of the remaining salary, the Yankees will be waiting in the wings. If the Yankees get him because our guys don't want to take the full salary, that would be a tremendous cluster f***.

Ortiz is still hitting.

The Sox are dead, and one thing we know about the Sox is that they are at there most dangerous when everyone thinks they are dead.

...and I sat Matsui on my Fantasy team. Damn! I feel a little better knowing that I offered him to Gom for Fernando Rodney and he turned it down.

The only chance we have tomorrow is the Reverse Lock.

We can't complain about the offense after getting 7 runs with the second string in for half the game. Penny is just a pig. Send him to the pen and bring on Wakefield and Byrd and matsuzaka.

Tampa is leading Texas 5-3 in the bottom of the 8th.

The3re's no reason to DFA him. They'll just put him in the pen when they expand the roster September 1st.

The low risk high ceiling duo of Penny and Smoltz have combined for 9 wins and 13 losses. The cost for this abomination was $10.5 Million, more than $1 million per victory. It was a really bad investment.

The towel has been thrown in officially. Youkilis and Bay are out for kotchman and green.

Seeing a hooker is not a workout.

After seeing this, Tazawa will probably fake food poisoning tomorrow.

Luckily we had him for depth.

Rice's message to the kid's is usually to respect your parents and your coaches, and to just have fun playing the game. His message to the parents is to just let the kids have fun, because they are not raising any future major leaguers. I think it is pretty good advice, when idiot parents are asking him about training techniques etc. like their kids are the next ARod.

2-0 already. Thank you Penny. You low risk high ceiling injured dollar store pitcher.

They are harder to beat than Baltimore...no?

It's a different lineup from the pop-gun version that the Yankees faced the last time. Bay and Drew are hot.
