    Hold on a moment. Does anyone really want to criticize the citizenry of south Florida for not showing up to Marlins games (in a far from ideal location) while their TERRIBLE, CRIMINAL owner refuses to spend money on the team, and any good player is shipped out of town before they cost too much? They spent about $50mil on payroll in 2008 and 2009 COMBINED. I am pretty sure they were shopping Josh Johnson until MLB stepped in and forced them to up their payroll. Attendance was boosted in 1997 when they spent their way to a World Series title. Until the new stadium is open and Loria is forced out, and/or the payroll is stabilized, it's not clear cut to say they don't have the fan base. They do such a great job of drafting that they arguably only need to add a decent FA or two to seriously challenge for the playoffs.

    Perhaps I should have put: [sarcasm] [/sarcasm] But you know that unless STL wreck their budget, he's going to be playing in pinstripes.

    Have to save their money for a run at Pujols.

    ie, that's what's wrong with it....:harhar:

    I love the way teams dish out these huge contracts to pitchers who haven't necessarily even been that good, and then are the GMs somehow shocked when the results are less than optimal?

    It's still active...

    If we do this, do you win $10,000 and a stay at Embassy Suites?

    Great move for Minnesota. Favre can now be intercepted throwing to Moss instead of a lesser receiver.

    It takes a big man to admit when he's wrong. I am not a big man.

    I think I must have missed it when Papelbon was "far and away" the best reliever in baseball and not that guy who closes games for the Yankees.
  12. Northern Star
    Don't really want him back. He said he'd never play for the Yankees. Then he played for the Yankees. He's a liar and a bitch.
  13. Northern Star
    Lackey, and for this year Papelbon and Oka.
  14. Northern Star
    It doesn't make sense to have them both when Bard can do the same/better for much less money. Use what you save on Papelbon for upgrades elsewhere.

    His teammate that he talked to death....

    What really gets me is both times the bases have been loaded, the final out is on a weak grounder. I could live with hard hit outs.
  17. Northern Star
    There's gold in them thar bases!
  18. Northern Star
    come on Big Papi...

    Peter Lorre says: A 3 run HR here makes things interesting.

    I love the way WEEI plays intros to songs when they come back from break, including cool stuff like Fugazi and Dinosaur Jr.
  22. Northern Star
    we're not winning this game.
  23. Northern Star
    Thanks, give the run right back.
  24. Northern Star
    He still sucks. j/k
  25. Northern Star
    WTF Beckett? 8 hits. Thanks for continuing to SUCK.
