    but but - we live in an era where wealthy people regardless of how they came by it, have to be dishonest cheats and should be willing to give what they have away. lol The only exception it seems is that anyone in the entertainment industry gets a free pass.

    Wait - not so sure - Rusney Castillo's contract was fairly substantial and it doesn't seem to matter. He appears dead to them as well.

    couldn't resist. Tried but just couldn't

    likely not in a Red Sox uniform. Regardless of how much he is paid, what happened to him was an absolute tragedy and never should have happened.

    Larry = MVP (say it ain't so)

    Without a doubt! Understand though for sure that it isn't about liking. I like a lot of people with whom i disagree. But, you become the next GM, I'm all in at least until the tenure ends and then it appears that all bets are off!!! lol I'll hindsight you to death.

    Hey now there you go - we agree. I like bloom as well. Guess I better add though that I am a fan of whoever happens to be our GM.

    I assume lots from slasher's posts.

    A high compliment coming from my Canadian neighbor. I appreciate you staying tuned.

    ... calling henry out here for being cheap and not extending Betts. I'm not really because I have been educated by the best talksox has to offer. We had absolutely no choice but to trade him. We got all that we could for him and undoubtably Verdigo when he recovers from his back fractures will make me forget all about Betts anyway. Plus I am just loving all these ultra cheap signing by Bloom of late. he is the man. Actually i do like the Pillar move.

    Oh never to worry. I have a majestic sense of staying power. Relentless

    Well well so the Mookie yak continues. Being one who continues to hate losing one of the best ever, let's make a deal. Personally i won't say one more word about giving Betts away when all of the ******** stops about how DD was such a lousy GM and how he ruined the farm.
  13. cp176
    I know right DD killed us. I really wish that we had those other owners who knew what the hell was going on. Those guys that owned the club when DD was the GM were just losers. They had no idea what he was up to.
  14. cp176
    Actually i tend to think that it does matter who we win with sometimes especially to the fans who really count - the kids growing up with the game pay attention.
  15. cp176
    has to come back to that damned DD don't you think. that old maverick just went ahead and did things his way with no guidance from above.
  16. cp176
    Where did you come up with this - it would not be devastating to lose Betts next winter? Letting a player of this calibre who means so much to his team and the overall community is always going to be devastating. I would have enjoyed seeing him in a Sox uniform for more year. Do you think that I'm the only person who feels this way?
  17. cp176
    I do not understand why they could not have done this. I have said many times that I am just a fan of baseball. I really have no interest in long term salary ramifications. That being said though, if this trade had brought us in at least one potential top of the rotation pitcher i could have accepted it much more easily. Obviously i'm not going to be swayed by all of the "reset necessity" that has been tossed around for more than a year. My excitement level right now is very low. I'll stay tuned but that is about it. Kind of looks as though my feelings are shared to a certain extent if projected ticket sales are down such as projected. my guess is that more fans than not are saying that we let a future hall of fame walk for very little in return. i would have enjoyed at least one more year of watching Mookie Betts in Boston.
  18. cp176
    The Red Sox chose to roll the dice on this one. We all get to wait and see how it works out.
  19. cp176
    It is just my opinion - i get that - but I am having difficulty really understanding how this particular deal improves us greatly long term. I understand that we got three young players this time around. I think that I understand the monetary ramifications as well. Just not sure that keeping betts for one more season and then watching him walk would have been devastating to the franchise.
  20. cp176
    truth - Betts not so much
  21. cp176
    It was a ******** deal plain and simple. You trade away likely one of the best to play the game and receive none of what you need the most in return. You can live with the line of it was the best that could have been done all you want to, personally i think that it was a desperate move by an organization that had no need to be desperate at all. i wish these young men that came to Boston the best along with the rest of the guys whose names I have never heard of as we move forward. i'll tune in to watch from time to time I'm sure but this trade hurts.

    I lived in one of the poorest counties in the state of Maine for many many years along side some of the the hardest working and most fiercely independent people I have ever known. They aren't particularly enamored by the influence of the current big government encroachment. They want to for the most part be left alone. They see a social invasion on the horizon and don't like it. Someone has to pay for every new program that is introduced. I lived in the other state of Maine or what some of us call the real maine north of the city.
  23. cp176
    Wonder why the slow encroachment from Ma to me then? Oh I think i got it - they want their private playground. ME is not so middle of the pack.
  24. cp176
    It's always been maine for me but just doesn't make any sense any more. One of the poorest states in the country, with one of the smallest and oldest populations is also at present one of the most heavily taxed states in the nation. I would be ok with most of that if they were not to an extent mimicking states like Ma. and sadly somewhat like (you guessed it) California .
  25. cp176
    I know right. Although very reluctantly I am away from Maine for a majority of the year, i will never give up my "old Maine card". I get laughed at down here for my language and independence by friends but I'm ok with it. If I could afford it, I would still be in Maine.
