This is where a700 would say "thanks for adding to the discussion." Wait, he'd only say that to VA.
-
I want Garza or Wandy and a flier on Webb, Harden or Sheets.
-
I never said it wasn't. I believe they are both in the wrong. I just see BV's act not playing out well. It could end up like the final act of his Mets tenure.
-
As you've stated in this thread previously, my job isn't the same as CC's. I won't be dressed down in front of my clients. So how does me returning my phone call factor into the equation. I don't have a guaranteed contract. I can be fired. CC can't. He has zero incentive to return the call.
-
He never got equal value for Hudson, Zito, et al. He's had weak teams ever since Moneyball was published.

Olney says 3 for 2. No Lavs. Head/Reddick/Alcantara for Bailey/Sweeney.
-
It's not like they mortgaged the farm. I'm surprised the Sox didn't have to give up more than Reddick. Bailey is a proven commodity. You make that trade 99 times out of 100.

"Ben the Boob" Guess I'm a boob man!
-
I'm a former AS making almost 10 times what my boss makes and have a contract that is twice as long. I have a guaranteed contract. I'm in no hurry to return a phone call I don't want to deal with. Period.
-
Should CC have called back? Yes. Should BV have kept his trap shut? Yes.

There's a difference between benching and doing a radio interview. Benching is a much more appropriate response. However, I'm not sure CC having telephonobia is at the level of benching.

I agree. They should be held to the fire. I'm just not sold on BV's way being "the right way."
-
That's chump change to them. They've spent 1.5B on payroll since they've been here. They aren't the little sisters of the poor. By building a new stadium, it increases the resale value of this team. An extra 10,000 seats does a lot for the bottom line as well.
-
That's going to really help bring in FA's.
-
The hardest weeks of the season are the first few (get off to a good start) and the last few (playoff push). When it counted, this team failed miserably. Even if they squeaked into the playoffs, they would have fizzled out. Just not a mentally tough team.
-
Any new stadium should take zero public dollars. Citizens should not subsidize billionaires more than they already do. I think the days of subsidized ballparks have come and gone.

It would be cool to be friends with Redsox Players

Michelle, you never know which rest stop you'll find Rich Gale at. Best of luck. -

Think it's the offseason after 2013. This team shouldn't bitch about the luxury tax. It can afford the extra costs.

Jung, you really hit the nail on the head. The Monster Seats are a marketing gimmick. I was up there for standing room tickets once. It was awesome for BP, poor for watching a game though. They weren't built for extra revenue, they were built to market Fenway. The new seats they put behind home are really cool though. They've done some great things, but there isn't much meat left on the bone for further expansion. Everything about going to Fenway has changed since the new ownership came on. It's not about baseball anymore, it's about the event of going to Fenway (Sweet Caroline and all the other BS).

RSFFL, you'll have a great visit. Just don't buy RF seats (sections 5, 6, 7).
