A crapometer. I really like that.

At least there is a rationale basis for the blackout rights while they are airing a game. I like your idea about the sling box. Are they difficult to install?

I like the lineup, but I'd pass on Aramis Ramirez, because I don't think the additional offense that he produces makes up for the D we would lose with Lowell. I'd prefer to keep Loretta in the 2 hole with Pedroia getting action at 2nd, 3rd and SS. In the pitching rotation, I'd prefer to let Wakefield and Tavarez fight it out for the 5th slot while acquiring a top stud through trade or FA to take the first or second slot. I don't think Lester can be counted on for much next season. Has any major sports figure recovered from this specific cancer sufficiently enough to return as a productive professional athletic career?

Hinske stinkskies. I hope he goes away in the offseason. If he is on the ML Roster next year that would suck, and if he has a regular role, the Sox will be a s*** team.

Why isn't it on Directv?

I am assuming that Ramirez is Aramis Ramirez. Why wouldn't he be playing third with Wily Mo in RF and Youk staying at 1B.

That's most definitely describing Mussina. I have to say that I am a bit surprised. Rocker is not sophisticated or highly educated. It's more shocking for this kind of thing to come from an intelligent highly educated person.

Mike Myers. His per inning pay has to be right up there with any player in the game, and he sucks.

Who would protect Ortiz on such a team? You would have an offense with no pop just like the Angels.

Chone Figgins is every bit the prima donna that manny is with about 1/10th of the talent.

ORS, you live outside of Boston like I do. The Yankee fans pray that we get rid of him and the Met fans want to get him. What to non Red Sox baseball fans in your area think about this annual "get rid of Manny" nonsense?

If they move Manny, be prepared for a third place finish and being out of any realistic playoff race by the end of June. Also, be prepared for Ortiz's production #'s to fall dramatically. Any manager will kick his pitcher in the balls if he gives Papi something to hit. I don't understand why they constantly look to replace the most consistently great RH hitter of our time. He's a nut case. We know that, but he's irreplaceable. It's really appalling that Edes will carry the FO water here if the FO is looking to engage in a smear Manny campaign. Manny hit the s*** out the ball in the Boston Massacre. He came to play. What was obvious in that series was that by starting the series with the "Ultimate Loser" Jason Johnson and the Rookie John Lester in the first two games of the series that the FO had quit on the team. Maybe it became obvious to Manny during the series that his efforts were wasted with such an undermanned squad. He had the bad knee for most of the season. Patelar tendinitis is not a joke. It can quickly turn into a devastating problem. Hey Edes, about some articles about what really happened this year. The FO botched the season from the beginning and quit at the trading deadline. Why don't you call them on that instead of constantly carrying their water. It's funny that outside of Boston, every writer and sports talk show host and knowledgeable fan know s the truth that the FO dismantled the 2004 team prematurely and left us watching a pile of crap. The whole Boston scene is just so incestuous. The Globe, the Herald an WEEI are all in bed with the FO and are afraid to offend them. They only jump on a story after everyone else. BTW: Every Yankee fan that I know would love for the "trade Manny" campaign to be successful. That should tell us something.

Joe Randa with a PH HR.

He deserves a shot, but it seems that he is not expecting too much which is good.

He's at 71 ABs and he's still hitting .183, plus he missed a ball that should have been a DP.
