    Nobody at any level and I mean any would be untouchable if the offer was good enough. It should take a minor King's ransom to pry any of those top 3 out of Boston though.

    Just as an aside - i really don't care what numbers the Sox decide to retire but if it was going to be a day for Dwight Evans, I might actually want to be there.
  3. cp176
    Meant to say - I don't think the 2 go hand in hand.
  4. cp176
    There is absolutely no questioning the greatness of the player. Upon what criteria do you think current ownership relies on to determine the numbers that get retired? HOF/retired # - I did think the 2 always go hand in hand.

    I'm hoping to be down there as well. The question being how easy is it to get in to see a game.

    Knowing that everything we do must now be judged by the political correctness police, to say that we should honor Boggs in this way and not Clemens is ridiculous. I will pass on attending that game. Now if we are going to choose who we honor based on how respectful they have been to the organization and how loyal they have been to their supposed New England roots that is another thing.

    Espinosa - Moncada - possibly Benintendi. Any combination of the boys they have left that would bring in a solid young arm - as in better than Porcello - would be a huge help going forward.

    I thought that I was the only one on here that felt that the Sox tend to show a "who gives a crap" attitude when it comes to actually budgeting. We do Ok but I would like to have the difference in these two contracts mailed in one lump sum to me. It might not seem like much but I could make do.

    Will Margot Adams be attending? Wade Boggs was a great hitter and good third baseman for the Sox for quite a while. i'm ambivalent with respect to him being honored in Boston. But hey - I think that Rose should be in the HOF right along with him. Just goes to show what I know. not much

    I wonder if any of the players in the NFL play fantasy football for $? I don't really wonder.

    It's all Dombrowski's fault.
  12. cp176
    goddam Dombrowski - We had a pant load more to talk about last year at this time.

    the man could pitch

    I just had a thought - I always thought John Farrell was a pretty good pitching coach as in an Assistant Coach - See where I am going with this?
  15. cp176
    You an 700 are just a couple of heartless guys! You think Palmer can still throw a ball?
  16. cp176
    This is kind of like tough love for me. I wish that I didn't agree with this summation in a way but I do. I say that primarily because of Farrell. I like the guy but ...
  17. cp176
    once
  18. cp176
    Agree

    Pete Rose is a classic example of a guy who you hated because he was on the other team. Growing up, we all wanted to play as hard as Pete Rose.
  20. cp176
    Hey Rose was a switch hitter as well. Had to do that(sorry) - very tough questions to answer for sure. No wants to see gambling, drug use, domestic abuse etc. etc.etc. tolerated in our athletics. I can't remember and I am too lazy to check - was Rose gambling on baseball during his playing and or coaching years? Think he was during the coaching years. I just have a tough time dealing with the process in general. Each of our major sports programs Hall of Fames are inhabited by many villains I am sure. I bet that a few of them were even law breakers. I guess I kind of agree with the idea that if you broke a rule that was in fact an established rule then you have to pay the price. I am just not sure that the punnishment fits the crime in many cases. I am going to touch base with BC to get his opinion on this.
  21. cp176
    !. Couldn't help it - obsessed with topic - devil made me do it - (multiple choice?) wtf 2. Shoeless Joe should be in there 3. Seriously (now and then) - Until only the saints can vote, I say let them in.
  22. cp176
    I'm not a big Pete Rose fan nor am I a fan of anybody who cheated to achieve greatness (steroids) but I won't go so far as to say that I don't think that they should be honored for their accomplishments. We like to see the mighty fall in this country. This is where the word hypocrite comes in to play and not on the thread dealing with the accomplishments of Ben Cherington. For every one that got caught, how many are laughing on their way to the bank? We going to keep Ortiz out because of something somebody thinks that he might have done? Pete Rose is a definite HOFamer and should be in but so are many others who probably won't get there because they weren't very smart when they cheated.
  23. cp176
    Very true. Without Miley in the rotation, we all might appreciate Porcello a little more. Actually when i think of him as a back ass of the rotation guy, I do feel good.
  24. cp176
    Statistically speaking (can I say that here?) that would be a good bet. Which Buchholz will we see though? That one I would not bet on.
  25. cp176
    I am really glad you posted this. I tend to agree with you most of the time, so I was getting ready to go back over my posts to see who I needed to apologize to for calling them names.
