  2. Every stadium has drunk fans. Fenway's no different. I just don't know where people get 'great atmosphere' out of that, or anything at Fenway.
  3. f*** Fenway. The seats are cramped and uncomfortable and the place stinks like piss. If you're not there midsummer the place is chilly as a bastard. And what's this 'atmosphere' people are gushing about? A bunch of drunken retards howling like apes in cages, and the occasional old gimpy couple whose life's dream was to visit a f***ing ballpark. Yeah, great atmosphere. It's positively electric. I think paying substantial money to sit in creaky wooden seats with drunken chimps to watch a game I could've watched at home for free is a little silly anyway, so I probably wouldn't be visiting the new park no matter what. Therefore I don't really care about what they do or don't do with Fenway.
  4. I'm gonna start using that photo for neckbeard memes.
  5. Complete ********.
  6. Go Manny.
  7. Thank god.
  8. Rondo for Gasol is idiocy. You know a Laker fan came up with that one.
  9. Why is it that every time I read this subforum, I want to light myself on fire?
  10. The Nationals play in Washington. Washington is a big market. The Nationals draw from Washington, which is a big market. Therefore, they're a big market team. How the f*** could this be the least bit difficult to understand?
  11. The Red Sox will lose a game, and the retards of talksox will s*** their pants and threaten to burn down Fenway.
  12. So? Just because he's watched a loooot of baseball doesn't mean he knows what he's talking about.
  13. That's true, I didn't think of that. Although if it came to it I doubt there would be any real animosity if they became teammates. We have our amnesty still, so it wouldn't tie up our cap situation. Celtics ownership is cheap as hell, but I think they're smart enough, basketball-wise, to bite the bullet on someone like Boozer if it improves our future outlook. The big 3 won't be around after this season. I don't like the idea of building around Rondo either, but unless some other team offers us something ridiculous, he's here.
  14. http://espn.go.com/boston/nba/story/_/id/7478868/report-danny-ainge-willing-break-boston-celtics-big-three Do it. This incarnation of the Celtics is done. I have no interest in watching this team die a slow, age-related death while they could be stocking up for the next era. I actually applaud Danny for being this up front about it. The tricky part will be finding a team that would want one of these guys, can provide enough of a return package to make it worthwhile for the Celtics, and make it work legally with the salary cap. Ray would most likely just be sold as a big expiring to some team who needs salary relief. Depending on the awfulness of the contract we take back (which wouldn't really matter given that we won't be contending and probably not big players for any big FAs), we might be able to bleed the other team for something useful. Dallas is an interesting possibility, as are the Clippers. Both want to go after Dwight Howard in free agency (in Dallas' case they want Dwight AND Deron Williams) but both need to set aside more cap room for this summer to do it. Obviously neither of those can happen if Dwight is traded somewhere he wants to stay long term. I think KG and Chicago is a perfect match. The Bulls are coached by Tom Thibodeau and have the kind of nasty, defensive outlook that KG fits beautifully with. KG puts them right there with Miami. He can and would put up similar numbers in Chicago as he does here (14 and 8 ish on a good shooting percentage), and he'd do it while being very good on defense (compared to Boozer, who's a bum on that end), and they aren't on lockdown with his contract for 3 more years. Boston would have to take back Boozer, which is kind of a scary proposition. I'd prefer to just amnesty him but I don't know if I see Wyc and co. paying for someone not to play. We'd likely take either Korver or Brewer and send Daniels to the Bulls. I don't think the Charlotte pick and a future first rounder from them is unreasonable for all that. Make the call after Dwight is moved to somewhere other than Chicago or the Magic decide to pull him from the market. I don't know who would want Pierce, to be honest. $15 million+ for two more seasons after this for a 34 year old Pierce? I wouldn't touch that if I was another GM. Still, call Orlando and NY just to be safe.
  15. A front office ballwasher? No, I'm just smart.
  16. Scumbag talksox: >We have too many players signed to expensive long term contracts!! >*Gets mad when Red Sox pass on player that would have require expensive long term contract*
