Posted Friday September 25, 2009, About: Mora on way out of Baltimore
It's a shame that he's pretty much past his prime at this point. Who signs past their prime FA's anymore? It's gotta be the Yanks or the Mets for sure!
Posted Thursday September 24, 2009, About: Five candidates to manage Braves in 2011
Smart move by Cox here. The Bravo's probably aren't primed to win in '10.... and being that it will be Cox's farewell tour, he'll get the free pass instead of constant speculation.

Looks like he timed this substitution perfectly....
Posted Thursday September 17, 2009, About: MLB wouldn't let Rangers sign No. 1 pick
Sorry to hear this.... Texas looked like a contender up until just recently.

I don't get why they are in so much trouble.... unless it's because of his other franchises.

They only really have two big contracts:

- Michael Young 5 yrs/80 mil
- Kevin Millwood 5 yrs/60 mil

The entire payroll isn't that high at $68 mil....
Posted Wednesday September 16, 2009, About: Umpire accuses Posada of 'cheap shot'
Don't forget that the league's disciplinary guy, Bob Watson, has a chronic case of Yankee nut breath. I'd be shocked if Posada gets more than three games. The pitcher on the other hand....
Posted Thursday September 10, 2009, About: T.O. trash talks Patriots
Is this what passes for "trash talk" nowadays? Really? If so, that's pretty weak....

Some sportswriter was desperate to fill some print space.
Posted Tuesday September 08, 2009, About: More Marlins question Hanley's desire
This is what happens when one guys makes more than the rest of the team combined....
Posted Sunday August 30, 2009, About: Something's wrong with Manny
The honeymoon's over!!
Posted Sunday August 23, 2009, About: Wagner willing to waive no-trade clause for Red Sox
Beware, Red Sox Nation. Remember the last closer turned middle reliever that we acquired for a late season rental, Eric "Gas Can" Gagne.

Granted the Sox most likely wouldn't be giving up a MLB-ready SP and OF to get Wagner, like they did for Gas Can, but you should still be careful what you wish for.

If I were Minaya, I send Wagner with a bow on top on the next thing smoking bound for Boston and not ask for anything in return. I would even consider throwing in a little money.
Posted Monday June 01, 2009, About: Will Mets, Phillies pursue Pedro?
Brad Penny? Maybe. Tim Wakefield? No way in hell.

As usual, the NY papers don't have a clue.

Here's your vote of confidence Rocco!!

Rocco Baldelli's 2009:

Posted Wednesday May 27, 2009, About: Manny an All-Star starter?
I voted for Manny as many times as I could. Let Bud Selig stumble his way through that one.... haha!!

It's not like the voting totals aren't tampered with anyways, right?
Posted Wednesday May 06, 2009, About: Boras wants World Series changes
This guy is horrible. I remember him announcing that ARod would opt out of his contract during the World Series.... trying to steal thunder away from the game.

This guy only manages Once-In-A-Decade Players, and drives up the prices for guys that most of the time aren't worth it.

I agree with those of you that say don't go to MLB games. Send a message to owners that it is not okay to pass expenses on to the fans instead of putting a dent in your profits. Fans shouldn't pay anything over $50 for a ticket.... let them know the market has changed.
Posted Sunday April 26, 2009, About: Holliday to Red Sox or Yankees?
I love how you say don't write off the Yanks' pen after 20 games, but then you write off Dice-K....
Posted Sunday April 26, 2009, About: Holliday to Red Sox or Yankees?
And the Sox are doing as well as they are without Papi hitting. And you have absolutely zero evidence of him using 'roids.... so please quit flaming. Don't mistake age and injuries for not using 'roids.
Posted Sunday April 26, 2009, About: Holliday to Red Sox or Yankees?
I think the Yanks get him. Damon and Matsui aren't getting any younger.

But the Sox will most likely re-sign Bay. He fits perfectly.... and he'll be much cheaper.
Posted Saturday January 31, 2009, About: Boras slowed Varitek-Red Sox deal
Glad this is over and the Sox roster is set going into '09.

The Sox scored the second most runs in the AL last season, so the fact that Tek can't hit anymore is pretty pointless. A healthy Lowell and Papi will more than make up for it. Tek brings much more to the table in the pitching game anyways....

Should be an outstanding three team race in the AL East between the Rays, Yanks and Sox!!
Posted Tuesday January 27, 2009, About: Pedroia's brother accused of child molestation
Funny that the accuser waited until DP had signed a big multi-year deal. Hmmmm....

But seriously, this has no business being on T&R. Not really sports related....
Posted Monday January 19, 2009, About: Papelbon plans to test free-agent market
I wouldn't say this about many players, but I really don't think Papelbon would ever don the pinstripes. The classy Yanks fans cursed at him and his pregnant wife during the All-Star "parade" last season. ( http://mlb.fanhouse.com/2008/07/16/papelbon-says-his-pregnant-wife-had-her-life -threatened-at-red/).

Add that on top of the usual Yanks/Sox bad blood.

I think it's a good that Theo doesn't get sentimental about players. Take Pedro Martinez for instance. Guy was the backbone of the Boston rotation for years. The Sox offered him what they thought he was worth, and he bolted out of town.... saying the Sox didn't show him any respect. Four years and many stints on the DL later, Theo came out on top of that one....
Posted Sunday January 11, 2009, About: Prince Fielder to Red Sox?
I'm still of the opinion that PF's weight is going to lead to back and knee issues in the near future.... which will lead to a large drop in production and a short career.

The Sox would be stupid to empty out the cupboard for this guy. If they wanted to give away 5 or 6 players to get one, I'd rather it be Hanley Ramirez or Josh Hamilton.

This is just a case of the Globe being bored and cooking something up to take up printspace.
