BOSOX FANS

I'm still recovering from the early morning events last October. I'd rather not think about "them" just yet. Flashbacks!

TR,
I think Burks will be a good compliment to Ortiz in the DH spot. I don't think he will see much playing time in the OF. I think the signing of Nixon was a good omen. He is the kind of player we need on this team. Reminds me of a Belichick kind of player. BD

You have a PM.........bb

Burks will be a nice bat off the bench and occasional starter at DH when a LHP is starting. He will also be a threat in late game situations and will make the opposing manager think twice about bringing in a lefty to face Ortiz. A good signing and for cheap money too.

Hey guys sorry to spoil the moment, but it looks like the Yanks just got A-Rod

It is not a done deal and don't be surpised if the Red Sox get back in the picture and sweeten the pot--AROD would much rather play short dontcha think ---

It will be interesting to see how it all, plays out

Start spreadin' the news.....

Dont worry about over at Shea---they have very quietly been doing some nice things

TR:

Yeah I agree but they blew it when he was originally available...they should have bit the bullet and gave him the $18M he wanted...ticket sales would have offset a good portion of it. Now they are playing catch up and are very much viewed as the poor relations who happen to be in the same town.I predict they do less than 1.25M in attendance this year...in this town that ain't good.

The A-Rod deal is not done yet. Like TR said, the Sox will now get back into it. I'm sure A-Rosd wants to play short and not third. Nomar is still not signed yet and the Sox are not done with this yet. Watch...........

Do you think Jeter got an early start to his morning today and took a few extra groundballs?

Coach C
Did you read Fungo's great post Friday about
cheating and lying? From what I know....Jeter has been very successful at it for many, many years......

I took a look at it and I really don't know how to respond.
Just like the best magicians, a great cheater never tells his tricks.

Sometimes cheating is only a matter of taking advantage of those who are simply unaware, for instance, the two man umpiring system.

I'm really having a good laugh thinking about all things to write, but in better judgement I'll just wear my grin rather than share it.

Back to the ARod deal. He may say he'll play thrid just to get the heck out of Dodge, but he's the best SS in the game and he knows it. he also loves the media attention. We'll see how well that friendship develops.

Who do think will be doing Mastercard commercials with the BOSS?

I think you've missed my point.
I'll just grin, too

Put yourself in A-Rod's shoes. Your friend Derek kids you about the number of world series rings he has. How can you top that? By going to Boston and being a big part of the team that breaks the most famous curse in sports. Winning the series with Boston would be worth more than anything the Yankees could give you. It would be epic.
If I were A-Rod I would try really hard to get to Boston.
