Yanks Can’t Stay-Away From Sox, Even In Post-Season

Wednesday, December 14th, 2005

I often wonder how many Red Sox players have jumped the ship to the Dark Side, or atleast been tempting by the evil regime. The Yankees appear to be going after former Red Sox Shortstop Nomar Garciaparra to play several positions, mainly 1B. Of course, if Nomar did this he’d have the largest shalicking at […]

WBC - A-Rod

Wednesday, December 14th, 2005

The WBC is coming this spring. I, for one am very interested in this. It’s about time that baseball have it’s world cup. Since baseball is out of the Olympics ( and yes….synchronize swimming is still in) this will be our stage for world competition.

My big question is how does everyone feel about which country […]

Tired of The Theo Rumors

Tuesday, December 13th, 2005

In case we all forgot, there were plenty of rumors swirling around just before Oct. 31, 2005 when Theo opted not to re-sign with the Red Sox as GM. The majority of those rumors were stating that Theo was essentially a done deal. That he was coming back and continue as the club’s General Manager…

Boy, […]

Mike Myers Now A Yankees … Not Much We Could’ve Done

Monday, December 12th, 2005

Don’t get me wrong, I like Myers as a left handed specialist. No doubt about it, he’s one of the top ones in the game. I’m a bit surprised the Yankees gave him a multi-million dollar contract over two years. He faced 95 batters last year, and he had very good numbers. But what the […]

Excuses Plague Renteria’s Departure

Monday, December 12th, 2005

Apparently the field work on Fenway’s infield wasn’t up to snuff with Edgar Renteria. The former Sox shortstop had a few words to say about the condition of the Red Sox infield as he departed from the team in a trade to Atlanta.

‘’The ball bounces too much in the field of the shortstop, where I […]

Never Count-out(on?) The Rocket’s Return

Sunday, December 11th, 2005

Just reading an interesting bit over at the Globe, and although I highly doubt Clemens would really want to ever return to Boston, despite having a tremendous backing by fans and what appears to be a collective Front Office. I’d love to see the Rocket return, just to imagine a rotation with Clemens, Beckett, Wakefield, […]

Tejada TO Boston?

Friday, December 9th, 2005

I’d love it if it happened, but honestly I’m not holding my breath. Yes, we’ve shipped our prize acquisition from last year, Renteria, out to Atlanta and we now have a big hole to fill and no O-Cab coming soon.

If Tejada wants a trade, and Baltimore gives it to them, why to the Sox who […]

Can’t Keep Up With Trades

Thursday, December 8th, 2005

Buzz is about that Edgar Renteria has been shipped to Atlanta for the Braves’ top prospect, 3B Andy Marte. Nothing has been announced as official, but the Sox seem to even be willing to pick up part of th e$29 million owed Renteria over the next 3 years.

We all know Renteria struggled on the field, […]

All-Star 2B In….Back up Catcher Out

Thursday, December 8th, 2005

In no way do I want to show extreme happiness in this deal. Doug Mirrabelli has been a Boston Red Sox for 4+ seasons and is very near to most of RSN hearts. I know that he is to mine. The guy never complains and knows and does his job very well. I would even […]
