    Because not all of those had long tenure with the RS. Also, I wasn't aware that Pedroia was shipped off; you mean Nomar. Two different humans.

    JH/Bloom obviously don't care that fans are human beings and get attached to other human beings--players we've followed for a while. Vaz, Beni, Betts, Devers, Bogey, even JBJ, JD. Even announcers are expendable. Apparently they think all fans are automatons, wannabe GMs and fantasy geeks. But we're not (well, I obviously can't speak to all of you). We actually care about the particular individuals who play the game. Why should I follow the RS, when I can follow the players I've grown to care about right here in LA?

    So you don't resign JD at $10, but instead, offer a 3 year contract to a 38-year-old washed-up Turner at 13/year.
  4. jad
    Of course! He's not one of Bloom's guys; he's got to go.
  5. jad
    Who needs a 30-year-old Bogey or a young Devers, when a 38-year-old has been is available?
  6. jad
    True enough. But then, there's no evidence whatsoever that he has executed any plan particularly well, right?
  7. jad
    I think his 'plan' is that of all new bosses: to make his mark by filling all the positions he can with 'his' guys, and that of course means getting rid of 'the other guy's guys.' Thus Betts, Bogey, Beni ... guys like that just don't count. And if he can save the owner millions of dollars in the process, great! All the lying, hypocrisy, contempt for players and fans ... that's just extra.

    As Ralph Nader once famously said: "As long as you keep voting for them, they will never listen to you."
  9. jad
    Why wouldn't he? It's also hard to see why he would agree to 'play hurt' as he did for much of last year.

    Since I spend half the year in LA, it will be pretty great to see all the RS superstars right in my back yard. And when that happens, I will be rooting for Boston to lose every game until the team is sold.
  11. jad
    Don't buy gear. The RS have just shown they don't give a cr*p about YOU, so why would you hand over any money to THEM?
  12. jad
    That's how wannabe GMs and fantasy-geeks think.
  13. jad
    Don't you think that that has been part of the long-term plan all along? Shed salary and long-term commitments to make the team more attractive to deep-pocket buyers? (Let's hope that IS the plan, so that we can see or hope for an end to this.)
  14. jad
    I guess the kindest thing I can say is that there are fans (as I understand the meaning of the term), and then there are wannabe GMs, Fantasy sports addicts, and Fan-Fiction writers.
  15. jad
    Devers is next. All of the cosplaying GMs and Fantasy fans can now relax and rejoice.
  16. jad
    Agreed . I just don't see how you sign them without those clauses (unless of course you agree to pay your workers fair-market value, which the RS won't do, unless it's a player no one has heard of or cares about).
  17. jad
    FANS??? Come on! That's so retro. You need to get with the program and worry about Fantasy-Sports fans. They're the ones who count. Not the ones who actually watch sports because they like to watch athletes perform.
  18. jad
    Yes. But what's wrong with things that benefit players? The same argument could be made against salaries in general, which benefit players but have no upside for the team.
  19. jad
    RESET!!!! Red Sox everywhere celebrating! Now, once we get rid of Devers, the gates will be wide open for exhibitionists, perpetrators of assault, and anyone, you know 'caught in the wrong place at the wrong time'.
  20. jad
    Oh yes! Just like we did! Why who doesn't remember where they were when the Bloom/Henry "RESET!" was posted! I mean you ask why people follow sports? There's your answer! What a great day in sports history.
  21. jad
    His moronic political views and spews don't bother me as far as HOF is concerned (which is hardly legitimate as long as Bonds isn't in there). But I'll with-hold judgment until he pays back the $70million he stole from RI taxpayers.
  22. jad
    I'm sure there are players who are good value out there. You can get great deals on, say, guys who fight other players for no reason, guys who pleasure themselves in public, or say guys who may (or may not!) like to take photos of underage girls getting raped in hotel rooms. That's where the real value is.
  23. jad
    So five players can give the RS (hopefully) what one did? Sounds like a winning formula for success.
  24. jad
    This seals it! Should I order my WS tix now? Or wait, knowing that we'll have no worthy opponent and tickets will be going for pennies?
  25. jad
    So once again, we are supposed to celebrate when the RS tweet ecstatically "RESET!!!!" ?
