    I would if for no other reason than to unburden the team of Farnsworthless's contract.

    The success of prospects is just so speculative that it's just not worht the investment of my energy. Hopefully, the FO knows what it is doing and will keep the good prospects and trade the rest. I remember years ago reading a spring training interview with a veteran ballplayer about prospects in camp. My recollection is the it was Carlton Fisk that gave the interview. Fisk basically said that he more or less ignored them. He felt no need to befriend them, because few if any of them would be coming north with the team. As a fan, I can't get excited about Bucholz, Bowden, Lowrie etc., because so few of these guys ever make it big. I witnessesed Lynn and Rice as Rookies, and it took me years to realize that i will never see anything like that again. It was amazing to see, but it was such a freak thing.

    It's got nothing to do with warm and fuzzies. It's got to do with $. You are in Dice-K mode here. You've got yourself convinced, and you are not processing the other side of the story. We've gone through this broken record argument before. Clemens doesn't give a rats ass about warm and fuzzies, but he'll give the fans what they want if it means $ in his pocket. it's called a marketing opportunity. Knock knock is anyone home, Jacksonian. What makes you think the Yankees will make a blow out bid. The Astros, Yankees and Red Sox made essentially the same bids last year. All of a sudden Cashman is going to blow away the field for Clemens when he didn't do it last year? That doesn't make sense. BTW: When Clemens went to Toronto, he was welcomed back to Fenway as a hero as he kicked our ass.

    Again, you are just not getting it. He would not have to win a championship in Boston to get a heroes welcome. It would be the return of the Prodigal Son. He wouldn';t have to do a thing to earn the adulation of the fans except don the Red Sox uniform. You don't understand Red Sox fans or the region, but Roger and his agents do understand.

    It's my opinion in light of the facts. My reasoning is in several of my posts.

    I don't think this will happen too fast. Once they decide on a package, they'll need ample time to go over the Unit's medical records and negotiate an extension.

    You didn't grasp that no matter how many times I reminded you about it. Was it you or Gom that engaged in all the scenarios of Boras challenging the posting system' date=' buying the contract from Seibu, etc., etc. I am pretty sure it was you. You didn't listen to sound reasoning then and you are not listening now. You are missing the bigger picture. Boston and NY and probably even Houston can offer similar types of one year or pro-rated one year packages. They were within pennies of each other last year. He went with Houston, because it gave him the money plus his comfort. And he will go that way again if Houston throws in. If Houston opts out, Boston and the Yankees will offer essentially the same one-year package. The decision will be made by other factors. The allure of the enormous additional marketing possibilities in Boston will tilt the scales in Boston's favor. I've explained this for the last time. I'm not going to be a broken record like you were on Dice-K. When he makes his decision, one of us will rub this post in the others face.

    If you want to know where Clemens will go look for the best financial opportunity. Everything else is just empty rationalization. BTW: Just wanted to remind you that the Dice-man did not goe back to the Lions. You were pretty sure about that being the result of the FO ******** offer of $7-8 million/year.

    Here come your Dice-K type delusions again., I guess we will be treated to a whole host of unsubstantiated theories about Clemens coming to NY. I'm on record, and I will not bore you with long-winded theories and rationalizations. If he doesn't go to Houston, he will come to Boston. As for there not being a spot in the Red Sox rotation, I am still laughing. Wakefield will get a non-stop, first class ticket to the pen as the long man faster than you can believe.

    David Ortiz is glad that he won't have to face him.

    Why does Gumbel keep saying that they "take over on Downs" when they are getting possession on a punt?
  23. a700hitter
    27-21 with 9:25 left. The Giants are doing what they do best-- giving up.
  24. a700hitter
    Can the Giants blow this game being up 20 points with over 2 minutes in the 3rd period? BTW Did anyone just hear the burp in the announcing booth?
