Two Italians who I had never met ran around in my front yard with me screaming their heads off and drinking champagne. Never gets old!

Documenting the Sox bandwagon ride since 2003…Featured Post
Careful What You Wish For
Posted on 12-23-2004
So since my last update, there has been a FLURRY of free agent action regarding the Sox. My ongoing thoughts: PEDRO I don't blame Pedro for taking the 4th year, and I don't blame the Sox for not offering it. Best of luck to you…I'll watch when the Mets are on TV. RENTERIA ...
Yeah thats right, big W.
YOU WATCH YOUR STEP, YM, OR ILL CTRL-ALT-DEL THE ENTIRE YAKKIE TEAM, INCLUDING THE MAUSOLEUM THEY PLAY IN.
BUT THEN, SO WHAT. YOULL JUST BECOME A METS FAN!
Ellsbury cf/lf .300/10/50 50-60 sb/ outstanding defense
Pedroia 2b .300/10/60 GG defense
Martinez c .300/25/100
Youks 3b .310/25/110 GG defense
Ortiz dh .270/30/110
Beltre 3b .270/25/90 GG defense
Drew rf .270/20/80 Solid defense/baserunning/arm
Cameron lf/cf .270/20/75 GG defense/baserunning
Scutaro ss .290/12/50 solid defense/baserunning
Ellsbury-injury prone/good glove-can’t hit
Pedroia-this mf can play
Martinez-injury prone-streak hitter-bad streaks are longer than good
Youks-this mf can hit too-GG def. too bad we have the eventual GG winner…
Ortiz-being watched for PED’s not the same hitter anymore
Beltre-can’t hit the breaking stuff, wonder why the M’s let him go when they rebuilt???
Drew??? overpaid and over rated…
Cameron??? Scutaro??? complete downgrades from previous personnel…
Wally, it seems the sox are struggling to get the real talent to stay or move to beantown…but, look, just think of all the free time you all will have by June…
Clearly competitive=3rd place behind Tampa…
richie, the mets are the true rival of the Bombers now… as much as they’ve sucked in recent seasons, the mets are more relevant than the sox…sad to say… esp. after they landed the sox’ best hitter…
also rich, the only time I’ve rooted for the mets was in ‘86 during the WS…I don’t mean to open up old wounds, but that WS was one of the best I’ve seen… I still remember Scully going crazy…and the picture of the clubhouse attendants covering the lockers with plastic to make sure the Champagne didn’t ruin their clothes…and then Carter starts with that hit with 2 outs and 2 strikes…you know the rest…
Pffffffffffffffffffffffft…Same old drivel, but from a much older YM.
And it was a passed ball by Gedman…Save the Stanley Steamer!!!
SPOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Woof, Baby!
WOOF BACK AT YA BABY!!!!!!
I still dont understand the sox negativity on Lowell. I didnt notice any lack of range last year. And he has plus offense.
To be replaced by .201 offensive juggernaut Beltre?
sigh
ahhhh YM, I dont why I bother to point out what short sighted moron you are….your post already make that point…as they typically do.
So, let’s see…Ellsbury cant hit?…check the numbers
Martinez…injury prone and streaky?…again check the numbers….
Ortiz…not the same hitter…agredd, which is why I pencilled him in for .270/30/110 instead of the gaudy numbers he used to put up…and eat shit YM regarding PED’s…you of all fans have NOTHING to whine about.
Beltre?…dont think he will hit in Feway in this lineup?…are you daft boy? In any case the numbers I projected aint exactly MVP type numbers…but he will be a great complimentary peice of the line up.
Drew?…once again you imbecile, you ahve no place to whine about a ballplayers salary/worth…the idiots in the Bronx have spend more than the GNP of many countries over the past decade on has beens and never wases….please YM….In any case, Drew will hit the numbers I projected…he always does….again not MVP numbers but sufficient.
The Yanks would LOVE to have Cameron….I glad the Sox do, he will be part of likely the best defensive OF in the bigs…and he will whack 20+ dingers…nuf said.
Scutaro?….what are you drunk?…very solid defensive glove..great arm…can run a little bit, and was one of the top LEAD OFF hitters in the game last year….gee, wonder how he’ll do batting 9th in this lineup.
Not to mention super sub Bill Hall who can play every position on the field except catcher and pitcher…and has some pop.
Not to mention Hermida, who may be the next to break out in Boston ala Ortiz….the guy is dripping with talent.
Oh, did I mention the pitching staff?….
3rd place eh…..
Go take your meds YM….you’re clearly in a world of your own.
Hakuna Matata. Time to start a new run of excellence in a new decade. But please, spare me the word “value.” “Value” in April gets 250+ yards against you in playoff game in January. “Value” means never having to see Tex in a RS uniform.
Rich said it best years ago — Captain Ahab, Billy Value. I’ve gone over to the dark side with Rich.
YM-
And what Waldo failed to mention is that Hall can play all those positions at once. Thats right- when hes on the field there are only 3 players:
pitcher
catcher
himself.
You should see him catch his own throws on slow rollers to 3b. Unreal.
Big Baby
What ever happened to Q?
Ric…Lowell is about as mobile as the Tobin Bridge.
Q went away after they cancelled the Star Trek series.
Don Buddin
Nice election going on there. Schilling is has been labeled a yank fan. I wonder if Manny Ortiz knows about this.
Manny has gone away, like Joe. And Ortiz has been replaced by Cameron.
Good luck.

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic — Former major league All-Star Jose Offerman threw a punch at an umpire during an argument in a Dominican winter league game Saturday night. Offerman was detained by stadium security and taken to a police station to wait until the end of the game to see if Rayburn would press charges. Offerman demanded to be released based on ability to catch pop-ups.
Du-
Hes still pissed off at the tschida reed calls in 1999.
They both involved 2b.
The ironic thing is he was a 2b himself. That can drive a man straight into McCleans.
rich
Btw-
Did you know that offerman used to play cf for the Royals?
Thats why he was so good at popups to cf and rf.
No one could catch popups, with his back to the plate, like Offerman.
-Joe Torre
Confirmed, rich. thats why we got him.
-Dan Duquette
Oh, and Happy New Year.
Yup, Dan.
And dont forget, good buddy, no one moved runners along like DLew.
And wave his magic wand at splitters, not only missing it, but failing to even move the air.

Martha Coakley is going to blow this election because she said Schilling is a yakkies fan.
can you say ‘not in touch’?
-george stephanopolis
Now Coakleys staff said she was just making a joke!
Oof.
I wonder if Mike McGwire and Sammy Sooser, heard that one.
“The decision … is definitive,” said Matos-Berrido. “Offerman is excluded for life from Dominican baseball.” Maybe the Sox will pick him up as a bench coach, they are always looking for good guys in the clubhouse.
well gee rich….what does she have to do or say before you realize that she deserves to “blow this election”…do you really want that woman representing you?
OMIGOSH THIS IS OFF THE CHARTS!
MARTHA COAKLEY NOW JUST SAID:
” IF DR. KING WERE HERE TODAY , HE WOULD BE STANDING HERE WITH US!!!”
THEY HAVE TO MUZZLE HER!
Some of you-
After much ponder, Ive decided i dont like diversity anymore.
So I want all you minorities to get out of here.
Get out of my life!
Go back to your own countries!

When did Rich become a caucasion?
Man…Get banned for years and it’s all changed.
I just don’t know you anymore.
At least psf is comfortable in NC…
Actually in my natural state im a redman. Thats because in real life i am Ra the Sun god.
However with enough pancake i am able to pass as a grim, white caucasion Protestant, living just off the Atlantic ocean.

Rich is a caucasion??? I thought he was just another pasty faced white boy with republican tendencies and bad taste in baseball teams…
BTW richie, thanks for the link, Odyssey rocks!!! and yes, I have been to a bar or two in my day… but, I didn’t live there, the cot in the back was strictly for entertainment purposes… nudge nudge, wink wink…

THIS IS GREAT!!!!

excerpt:
Baltimore Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti is a really rich guy. But he’ll be able to drink for free in Boston, Toronto, Tampa Bay and Baltmore for a while thanks to what he said to the Baltimore Sun:
“If I’m a Yankees fan, I’m upset we’re not winning 130 games with the roster that they have and the money that they pay out. I think it’s a disgrace they only beat the average team by 10 games in the standings with three times the money. I’d fire that GM. You don’t need a GM. All you have to do is buy the last Cy Young Award winner every year.”
LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
he gave them the spaceblaster!
richie, it just shows that this dude knows less about baseball than he does about football…and he doesn’t know crap about football… if he knew baseball, he’d know that the Bombers from the Boogeydown could win 130 games any time they wanted… they just choose NOT TO!!!
YM-
serioiusly, i wonder what set him off. there may be a story there,also.
” So solly so solly. I apologize to all toyoda customer.
Maybe Toyada customer use two feet on brake pedal. Maybe that work. Or use parking brake.
In velly bad case, put transmission in reverse. Or if have small children, open door, hold them outside by feet and let heads scrape highway to stop.
Gowwy- 8 million car…Ive changed my mind- im not going to fix them. I think instead Ill do nothing and simply wait for all the cars to crash. Then no more complaints. Stock price go back up.
Maybe sometimes TWO Toyada crash into each other.
THAT TWO FOR ONE SPECIAL.
AHAHAHAHAHA.”
