  1. i think he was 29 when we low balled him? i dont think we needed to give Lester a 6 year deal to stay in Boston. would he have signed for a solid offer at 5 years? yes.
  2. remind me what you said last year? and the year before that? and 3 years ago?
  3. the best takeaway from that article: After finishing eight games back of the Red Sox and losing the ALDS in four games to their blood rivals last season
  4. this is a great point. no way he opts out. not a chance. well....unless he goes 50HR/1.000 OPS.
  5. an opener is intriguing if the opposing team has big time L-R splits. having a Right handed opener which forces the opposing manager to start all of his LH batters and then switching to a LH pitcher that can throw multiple innings in the 2nd inning is an advantage.
  6. thats the slasher rule!
  7. one of the greatest baseball players of all time was a terrible manager. see: Williams, Ted. one of the greatest baseball managers of all time was a horrific player. see: Anderson, Sparky to say Alex Speier cant be an "expert" on baseball because he never played an inning of MLB is just dumb.
  8. me too.
  9. we are looking at a different link then... 3.1 2.6 = 2.6 2.7 ~ 2.8 1.9 > 1.3 but yeah...lets call paxton the difference maker! welcome to the AL East mr paxton. hope you dont wilt under the bright lights of the big bad east like so many West coast pretenders have in the past. too bad he wasnt on the team last year. the 8 gb might have gone all the way down to 4 gb..... maybe even made the ALDS a tiny bit exciting?
  10. wait a second. WTF!? they have the Red Sox ahead of the Yankees??? that can't be right. yankees are better than the Red Sox!!! that's what jacksonianmarch tells me!
  11. at Jeters insistence. i forgot...you dont live in the NYC area. this was YUUUUGE talking points on WFAN whilst it was going on.... but yes, your statement is true as well. the yankees decided to do it. but jeter told them to.
  12. i'll kick in some cash for that!
  13. jeter 100% demanded the team wear the #2 patch on the hats. this is fact. it doesnt matter if you think its a big deal or not. the fact is that due to the retirement tour distractions and the baby dik attitude of your former ss the yankees wilted that season (14-15 with the jeter hat) and didnt make the postseason back to back years for the first time 2 decades....
  14. bet. sig until we reach minimum 15 wins & 15 losses (30 game minimum) for our beloved #15. for reference we didnt get our 15th loss until our 45th game - may 18th - last season (30-15)
  15. someone said it about the nola deal and it holds true here as well...seems like locking up pitchers before they hit FA is a bit easier than position players. nice job here by cashman/yankees....dammit.
  16. finally!! we all have come to an agreement that the one guy watching every play and creating UZR is stupid and that robot umps are needed NOW. i love you guys......
  17. you assume pedroia will be on the 25 man. i don't think he makes it thru ST unscathed....
  18. this. it wasnt a poll choice tho....
  19. the parade cushions the blow....
  20. hahahahaha. BOOM.
  21. no. and if you werent banned during that time you would have seen my multitude of posts eviscerating papi for having a farewell tour.... the only positive thing i said about it was at least he didnt make the team wear different uniforms to "honor" him for a month....
  22. that was dewey being sarcastic. he is the leader of the iglesias fan club.
  23. any ex-ballplayers scheduled to be at the show?
  24. just the smell of the gum in those baseball packs brings me back to 11 year old slash and makes me smile.
