The new Red Sox unis:






Holy fuck, the Sox really ARE trying to be the Yankees.

The more I think about it, the more I hope Tex signs with Boston for 10 years and an absurd amount of money. As was pointed out to me in another board, a player who had similar numbers at that age to Tex was...Paul Konerko. Not saying that will happen to Tex, but man, long-term contracts are risky. ...

I'm gonna cry a little inside when Teixeira signs with the Red Sox. Lickety will go on a Dunkin bender. Somehow the 10 year $200M deal Teixeira signs with them is not going to be the same thing at all as Sabathia's deal with the Yankees. Just watch. Pitchers are always a riskier bet than hitters, b...

I'm gonna cry a little inside when Teixeira signs with the Red Sox.

It's all over everywhere now. Greg Maddux is officially retiring Monday. This is truly the end of an era. Maddux was one of the greatest pitchers of all time. Pedro, Maddux, Clemens, Johnson...... Waiting for the next generation of all-time greats. Maddux seems like a good dude. I like that he reti...

One of the big names (CC, Tex) needs to sign before things will really start happening.

Padres are trading Khalil Greene to the Cardinals.

Whoo. Big news.

This thing:




What kind of fucking idiot not only thinks this is funny, but thinks it is so funny it deserves repeated viewings and makes such a statement it need to be in his signature?

It always works out well for Texas when they let go of pitching.

Tex is the best available bat on the market and he projects to have a huge upside for many years. I'm not counting Manny because his ceiling seems to be three years. Tex is 28 and entering his prime. I wouldn't be surprised to see him get 10 years and 200 million plus, what with the Sox, Yanks and A...

I'm hoping that's just to stir things up a bit. I don't want a fat pitcher for six years. Four years tops.

No comments about George passing the torch to Hal?

Man, something needs to happen this week. The hot stove aint.

Man, if Uggla is on the market...wow.

Rumor has the As getting Matt Holiday from the Rockies.

WTF? Good job, Oakland.

He gave you permission, man. Keep on.

The thing about K-Rod's usage this year is that he wasn't taxed that much. He had a few one-out saves and I don't think he ever went over an inning. 68 innings pitched. Lidge has 69 innings, Rivera has 70, Papelbon had 69.1.

This thread is giving me a serious boner. I love it that much.

to let K Rod walk, same with Teixeria. Tex's contract will hit astronomical levels with both Anaheim and NY wanting his services. K-Rod is a huge gamble. His peripherals are dropping and his throwing motion is extremely violent. Dude falls off his feet after a pitch about a third of the time, which...

Hall of Fame for banned posters goes to takaishii or however the fuck you spell it.

I predict - actually this is a wish - that the Angels will sign Teixeira and won't re-sign K-Rod or pick up the option on Garret Anderson. CC will go to the Dodgers. I have no idea where Manny ends up.

I was saving my mention of you for the sure-to-be-forthcoming "sludgers we know are homo" thread. You and skate, of course.

Another thing that KAOS just did reminds me of why I ranked him so high, which is adding a pointless question mark to a sentence that is not a question? I thought the show was annoying and the guys high pitched voices gave me a head ache. It started out god but died towards the end. It's just not t...

It's old and tired and very lame! (yawn) Sounds a lot like your Obama posts on the war board. At least I post them in the correct forum. And I am not the ring leader over there, go take a look. Hey, I could post them in all the wrong forums like the rest of the wankers if that makes you feel better...

If this thread was porn, it would have a chubby chick fisting a hot midget girl who is sucking on a donkey's balls while the donkey pees on some insanely hot porn chick with huge fake tits while she is tied to a straw bed and some other chubby chick in a clown suit ass-fucks her with a huge dildo.
