  1. This is uncalled for. a700 has shown a lot of self control and patience during this "discussion". If his frustration with being hammered with the same responses from two or three people saying largely nothing over a three day period is mildly sarcastic than you should bare some of the blame. By the way, have you read The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn?
  2. :blink::blink: Must be the "New Math". a700 has been consistent throughout the entire "discussion". So you must agree with him, eh?
  3. So about 177 post "discussing" a non-issue. Lol. Here's a question. What happens if the 2010 Sox offense is inadequate and fails to score enough runs? How will the fan base and media respond? Is it likely that they will be complaining that the Sox did not sign a "Big Bat"? Will anyone question the fact that Bay was not resigned? How will the Sox respond to this criticism? Easy, they can remind everyone that Bay had two lousy knees and a bad shoulder. Asses covered.
  4. I can't wait for spring training. Then there will be actual baseball to talk about.
  5. @a a700 Just remember what Huck said.
  6. Realistically, it's not difficult to see A-Rod having a good year if he remains healthy.
  7. Interesting observation;)
  8. Lol. The guy is a Met. I don't care anymore.
  9. Leaked what? What WAS SAID? And WHO said it?
  10. Boy, that sure is damning evidence.
  11. Great. How have the Sox violated HIPPAA and what specific evidence substantiates this claim?
  12. I don't get it. The NY media has an award for the Yankee's best post season player? Congratulations purple lips.
  13. Sox Prospect - "He could be good, but this is why he won't be".
  14. Anyone saying that Bay's rights were violated is speculating at best. There are no known facts to support this supposition. Lol.
  15. What conspiracy? I see this all as the normal machinations of a company trying to keep it's customers pacified. They set a value on Bay and would not budge. Probably for good reasons (knees, shoulder). The Sox made a solid offer last summer which was rejected. They made another (lesser offer) just before signing Lackey. It did not work out. Now they are forced to promote a "Run Prevention" roster and philosophy which may not work out. If that happens, fans will be screaming "They should have signed Bay 'cause they can't score runs". "Leaking" this story is most likely an effort to cover their asses in the event the offense is inadequate. It's just spin control, that's all. I think it's very unlikely that the actual source of this story will ever be known. But I see no reason not to believe that someone in the Sox organization said something to someone after Bay was gone.
  16. Bay was a good base-runner. Just not exactly a speedy gonzalez.
