    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.

    Wimp!

    He stinks. He has no major tools. Stern may not be the accomplished basestealer at the ML level, but I think he is just as fast. I don't think Harris is a better fielder or hitter than Stern, so why not keep Stern for another couple of weeks and let Harris walk.

    It's a little different. The season has started, if you haven't noticed, and the Rocket is not playing for anyone or on anyone's payroll. Damon never missed a check. He was never out of work.
  5. a700hitter
    Exactly, and he'd get some great experience. When Coco returns, send Stern to Pawtuckett to get his ABs.
  6. a700hitter
    I was against this move. Stern should have stayed until Crisp returned. Harris adds nothing. There isn't anything that he does better than Stern.

    I think you just sign up again and get a new card.

    Enjoy the ride.

    Welcome to another 40+ year old fan. Who was your hero as a kid? Yaz, Rice or Lynn or Pudge?

    Welcome

    We won't bitch about that ever again. But we would not buying someone else's player to help us win (a la the Yankees with Damon as the latest example). Currently, Clemens is out of a job, and if the Sox brought him back, they would just be reclaiming their own property.

    ...and Terry made all the wrong moves as usual this year.
  13. a700hitter
    He just really sucks, and I have been on record saying that since they signed him. Terry talks about how closing isn't that important, because sometimes the biggest outs in a game come in the 7th or the 8th. Well, he talks the talk, but where is the walk? The biggest inning that outs were needed was the 8th. Toronto's hitters started on a role. Terry should have given the ball to Papelbon after the first homer. If he could have stopped the bleeding, Terry could have turned over a 2 run lead to Foulke or Timlin for the 9th.
  14. a700hitter
    Foulke should have finished the inning. Terry has done this twice to Foulke. Foulke is a finisher. He has a closer's mentality and he was throwing well.
  15. a700hitter
    Roger would be the # 3 on the team. He is better than Clement, Wake and Dinardo. He's a pretty good #3.
  16. a700hitter
    Tough loss, because our 4th and 5th guys are going against their ace and Towers.
  17. a700hitter
    It took Seanez 2 pitches to ruin 4 innings of great relief pitching by Foulke and Papelbon. I think the pen will develop into Foulke setting up Papelbon, if Terry isn't too thick-headed about moving Timlin to the 7th.
  18. a700hitter
    He hasn't had any good outings.
  19. a700hitter
    Seanez blows!!! That's twice in a row that tERRY DIDN'T LET fOULKE FINISH HIS OWN INNING and he got burned twice. He threw 36 pitches, but he could've given him one more batter. He's pitched 3 games in a row, so he won't pitch for a couple of days
  20. a700hitter
    Foulke was squeezed on that. He pitched great. He hit his spots and he had their hitters oo-balance. Everybody is killing him and scared to see him come in, but he has been an elite reliever in 6 of the last 7 years. And he looks pretty good to me recently. This guy Seanez is a heart attack.
  21. a700hitter
    Crap! But they have to go to the last guy in their pen.
  22. a700hitter
    Speier has thrown 37 pitches.
  23. a700hitter
    Just a bingle baby
  24. a700hitter
    He won't throw it
  25. a700hitter
    Nixon can take his fastball deep-- if he throws it.
