You are barking up the wrong tree. I am not a Sox fan that complains about the Yankees buying a Championship. My complaint for many years has been that Red Sox ownership, prior to the current ownership, has sold a line of BS that they can't compete financially with the Yankees. They tried to act like a small market team, when they were sitting on tremendous economic resources. In my earlier post, I was tweaking the Red Sox fan who doesn't want to get get Clemens because it would be acting like the Yankees. I made the tongue in cheek distinction that it was different, because we were re-claiming our own property etc. Try to pick up on subtleties once in a while. I don't whine if the Yanks pick up a FA. I have been on record several times on these boards that the pickup of Damon was a good one. The Yanks should sign whoever they want, but I think the Sox should go toe-to-toe with them and flex their financial strength. If we sign Clemens, it will be the Yankee fans who will be whining.
