I'm guessing it was prior to the actual steroids era...1979? On Bud Selig's shame comment on ARoid, I have this to say about Big Bud, shame? 1. An All-Star Game that ends in a tie? 2. A WS game that should have been washed out? 3. Has no problem letting Fox Sports/TV in general make everyone endure ridiculous late-night starting times for playoff games, forcing East Coasters to watch until 2 in the morning just to get a result? Shame? Man, talk about glass houses, Buddy boy LMFAO….who knows, chucks. I’m guessing it was prior to the actual steroids era…1979?

Who’re you to say he didn’t? Big change in body mass, leap in power production, and subsequent long string of injuries.

Speaking of 'roids....holy sufferiung kee-rist, I am tired of this f'n soap opera...it just wont go away. I dont give a shit who did, and who didnt. My guess is more did than didnt...so, now there are rules, regs, and testing in place to control it. The players know the consequences if caught. Move on...let it go. I am not defending Aroid, but shit...as much as I despise him, I dont think it's right to vilify him alone. Just stop the soap opera and move on....let play baseball! I am outraged at the outrage. Agreed cater.

I'm just going to say that Lynn was in his short time in Boston the greatest CF in Sox history. Yeah, i said it....

It is f'ing freezing here right now because of all the cold air you chumps bring with you when you show up. Cater you can just drive on in we could use some of that hot air.

Hope "springs" eternal, eh. The smart move, in my opinion, would be for Theo to identify the guy who is going to be the catcher of the Sox for the next decade. I'm sure he is trying to do just that. Unless Tek has a unexpected resurgence offensively, he'll be back again next season. Seems the perfect time to have him groom his replacement. I don't know much about the youngsters in the system, and I'm not sure I'd give up Bucholz for either Teagarden or Salty....but I would not be surprised that something along the lines of an "heir apparent" for Tek may happen at some point this up coming season....I'm thinking by the trade deadline when other teams ( Texas...wink wink) will be desperate for pitching. Other than losing the Tex wine and dine saga, you got to like what the Sox have done over the off season. Team seems to be deep in pitching, on the bench, and the current line up will produce plenty of hits and runs. Not to mention some enticing talent in the system that may make some impact this season. Sure, there are question marks...but every team has those. My early prediction is the Sox will win at least as many games as last season. The question is...will that be enough to win the East?
