This would be funny as hell. I remember the first post here where Jason Bay was looking at other teams and all Red Sox fans were saying "good riddens to you and your terrible defense. dont let the door hit you". It will be funny to see all the welcome arms from the hypocrites.
Troy Glaus will not make the Braves a World Series team. He is injury-prone and not as big a threat as some people here are making him out to be. And I like the Braves, but this guy isn't a team changer.
I don't think you can label Ortiz the biggest free agent signing of the decade only because the only reason he is good is because of steroids. He is a hypocrite, liar, and a phony. David Ortiz's only significant attribute is his power. He is slow and was overrated because of the steroid-riddled Manny Ramirez, a big part of the roid culture in Boston. Has anyone feared Ortiz since Manny left? And now, he isn't even a likeable guy because he has lied his way into peoples hearts. Just a true horror story.
Funny how Yankee posts always end up in Red Sox discussion. My two cents, the Sox copy and try to mimic the Yankees in every way. They are the jealous little brother.
I still think it applies. 6 championships OK... but they are tainted. Beeeeeeelicheck was caught taping teams and the Red Sox haven't won since the steroid combo of Ortiz and Manny were broken up. Teams do roids, teams cheat and use anything to their advantage. But the Red Sox ONLY won because of those two juicing. Otherwise their offense would have been anemic and they wouldn't have made it to the promise land. The sad, unfortunate truth. You can knock the Yankees all you want but it's hard to discount 26 championships. Two roided championships are pretty easy.
I am fine right now. Obviously I'd prefer Matsui as DH because he is clutch but Johnson puts up comparable numbers and doesn't have the knees of a 95 year old grandma.
Nick Johnson is an offensive force. On base machine. David Ortiz without the steroid homeruns and more walks.
Somebody just propsed this rotation to fix the mets lol: Santana Bedard Pelfrey Maine Perez
The Red Sox weakness wasn't their pitching, it was their hitting. This makes no sense. Signing a guy who just had two seasons pitching well under 200 innings is crazy. That would be like if the Yanks took AJ Burnett before he had a year where he learned to change his pitching mechanics and remained healthy (and it paid off for them). The Sox will always be second class.
And to further play into your delusion, lets take a look at all the main contributors for the Red Sox around their entire lineup: Varitek - white Youkilis - white Lowell - white Pedroia - white That-overrated-shortstop prospect - white Ellsbury - white Nancy - white Bay - white Papelbon - white Beckett - white Wakefield - white Lester - white The list you gave me was a bunch of prospects (who the Sox will eventually trade for a white guy), middle relievers, backups, and a shunned cheating DH. Delusion will be Colbert's word of the day.
"Russell, Victor Martinez, David Ortiz, Hideki Okajima, Dice-K, Marco Scutaro. Their first round pick this year? Reymond Fuentes, so why don't you solve your maturity issues then try posting again." You always need that minority market. The Red Sox are probably the most racist franchise in sports history. And they cheated their way to 2 championships as it turns out their 2 biggest minority contributors were using steroids.
I hope the RSox get Lackey. He is old, has had injuries the past few years, and will be overpriced. But he is white so he fits the Red Sox mold.
This is it. The signing that brings the Mets to the World Series!
Gammons is the Red Sox propaganda machine. Kelly and Bucholz are just so-so, it would just start negotiations for Halladay. Sox farm system is overrated.
"C - Montero/Martinez 1B - Martinez/Youk 2B - Pedroia/Lowrie SS - Scutaro/Lowrie 3B - Youk/Scutaro OF - Werth/Hermedia OF - Ellsbury/Westmoreland OF - Drew/Hermedia DH - Crawford" That looks pretty weak to me.
This is great for Texas. Ramirez is just plain not very good (but I guess that's better than the withered Varitek). Boston is going to pay to get rid of a guy that could be good if he gets healthy. Great news for the AL East. Theo Epstein is overrated.
It is typical of Boston to just buy out bad contracts. None of this matters though because they can't win without the roided team of Ortiz and Manny back together.
"Why do Yankee fans complain? You didn't trade any of your high priced "PROVEN" MLB players. If the NYY don't win the world series next year they'll just go out and sign HALLADAY to 20+million per year, MAUER to 20+ million per year. And if you don't win it that year you'll just sign PUJOLS to a 30+ million per year contract just like A-ROID. You people ruin baseball (NYY). Just throwing money at your problems, and yet they still want a farm system.LMFAO" I wonder if he is a Red Sox or Mets fan? Hey, how does it feel that the Red Sox break the curse, win two championships, and are still the leftovers of the 21st century? Suck it.
"Scutaro for only 2 years and only 12.5 million? In my opinion this is a good signing. Not too much money, not too many years, good job Theo." ONLY 12.5 million dollars? The guy is a .330 on base percentage, .260 average hitter. Way too much money, bad job by Theo, again.
Pedroia is overrated. Scutaro just a "meh" player. He got a lot more than I thought he would.
"- Mets acquire 1b Miguel Cabrerea & Edwin Jackson from the Tigers in exchange for 1B Ike Davis, OF F-Mart, SS- Tejada, and Pitchers Niese & Parnell." That is the funniest thing I have heard in a while. The Mets don't have any good prospects. F-Mart sucked when in the majors and all the pitchers benefitted from the confines of Chitti Field. I just heard the Tigers hang up the phone.
"Santana Harang/Arroyo/Lowe Pinero/Marquis/Wolf Pelfrey Niese" That isnt exactly an explosive pitching staff lol
Honestly, you predicted the Mets to sign 3 Caucasian players? I don't see that...
27 Championships! The Red Sox suck woooohooooooo!
The Yanks should sign both so they can keep spanking the Red Sux.
