  1. MLB Network last night finished their count down of the greatest games ever, and Game 6 of the 1975 WS was number one. Even though the Sox would lose in 7, Game 6 is a historic moment not only in Sox history but baseball history.
  2. Could be worse, the uniforms could have pin stripes.
  3. What dynasty? The last New York dynasty was last century. They have only won one championship this century. The last time I looked you needed multiple championships in a short period of time to have a dynasty. Thus last century. I think he was smart because he sees the decline of the team and is getting out before the drought starts.
  4. To the average Joe that makes nothing compared to the millions these guys make this looks stupid, but if he doesn't need the money and doesn't have the desire to pitch this is a classy move.
  5. I rather they start the season with what they already have on the roster. No Drew or another starter. They now have some $$$$$ if they need to go fill a hole during the season.
  6. If I'm the Sox FO I hold on to the money, and if you have to pick up a contract during the season you have the money to do it. The Sox still have five pitchers penciled in, and two or three ready at AAA. Dempster was probably the odd man out of the six starters they had heading into spring training. I kind of want to start the season with WMB at 3B and X at SS, so I don't want them to rush to get Drew.
  7. Because all five teams play each other so often the teams that are the weak links of the division will quickly be found out and they will settle to the bottom of the division. I can see a three team race, but as much as they play each other there has to be losers.
  8. WMB starts the season number 1 at 3B. If he falters the Sox have enough trading chips to make an upgrade at the hot corner. It would be great to have his power stick in the lineup hitting bombs.
  9. The truck leaves Saturday for Florida. We are getting close to pitchers and catchers.
  10. Amen! After three titles in ten years the heartbreaks of the past don't hurt as bad.
  11. Still don't know what the Braves saw in BJ. They are usually pretty good in picking the right FAs.
  12. I respect the way the Rays and A's do business and create their teams. The year the $pankees win a title without having the highest payroll in the AL is the day I will put the name to rest. Any other team that made the mistakes they have made putting their team together over the last few years would have years like the Sox had in 2012. Their blank check policy ensures that they can fix any problem and make the playoffs every year. I think they have not been able to buy their way to the playoffs twice in the last twenty years. You think if Roberts gets hurt or Johnson flops at 3B that they won't reach for the check book again.
  13. Who are we kidding the $pankees have no spending limit.
  14. Roberts will probably pull something putting on his uniform day one of spring training. I think Jeter starts collecting social security this year. No team with a SS his age has won a championship. I think a lot of people are going to be surprised at JBJ production.
  15. JBJ and WMB both start on opening day and if they are total busts then the Sox will use their many resources to fix the problems. Sizemore is a nice low risk pickup, but he will not be able to play starter innings. If by some miracle he returns to his old self then it will be another of BC great pickups.
  16. I think Drew turned down the Sox best offer (14 mil). Bogaerts and WMB start the season at SS and 3B for the Sox.
  17. That the $pankees on a budget! Right!
  18. Love to see ARod show up at spring training just to be a side show. This will probably be another problem the $panks pay to go away.
  19. $panks top two starters are on the back side of their careers. CC has a lot of miles on his arm and he has lost mph off his fast ball. He may still be a decent pitcher, but I do not think he is an ace any more. Kuroda is 39! He will run out of gas during the dog days like he did in 2013. Nova has been decent, and Tanaka probably will be an upgrade. I see a lot of question marks.
  20. $pankees and budget, what a joke! This is why I hate them, and they can't loss enough as far as I'm concern. They can make one bad roster decision after another and they just buy their way out of those. They will pay ARod a %&it load of $$$$$$$ to go away and that is their way of dealing with a bad signing. I knew all along that the 189 million budget was a bunch of crap. A Sox championship means that the $pankees throw a ton of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ at any FA that is breathing during the following winter. We can only hope that they paid ace money for Irabu 2.0!
  21. $panks will probably pay ARod off to stay away in 2015. I think we have seen the last of ARod. It will be just like Bonds. No team is going to want to deal with all of this crap.
  22. How many days until pitchers and catchers?
  23. What ever team does sign Tanaka doesn't know for sure what 22-0 in Japan translates to The Show. It is probably somewhere between Darvish and Dice-K. I haven't heard anyone say he was an ace, but the money being talked about is ace money.
  24. I think Sox go to spring training with Bogaerts and WMB at SS and 3B. If things don't work out early in the season they have money to spend and talent in the minors to trade to fix the holes.
  25. This is why I hate the $pankees! They just throw $$$$$$ at their problems. Wouldn't it be great if he told them they can keep their money and sign somewhere else.
