fMLB Full Count 10

now the FA market just got more interesting ... in case anybody noticed ... lots ofquality FAs out there .. like Dunn, Hudson, Baldelli, Junior etc

 

i wonder who the Nats will take.. they did make a play for Tex ... they can easily land Dunn and Hudson for the price they were offering Tex.. and they get a lot better

 

 

edit:

something i wasnt aware of ... Phils had a chance to draft Tex .. but Boras told them 'No'.. they got Gavin Floyd instead....

brett gardner is projected to be the starting CF on opening day..

 

rivera had one of his finest seasons last year and he's under contract for two more years, the same time that k-rod's contract expires with the mets.. we dont even have to do the math..

you got dice-k from boras right? where's the love? :goatee:

 

Haha

But that only happened because Theo put his foot down and kind of made a "Dice K on the plane with me tomorrow or nothing..." And Boras folded 30 minutes before the Boston flight.

Melky's on his way out

 

for Mike Cameron and Kei Igawa - Bill Simmons and his Yankee friend JackO

let me guess: the signing bonus was too high?

[gift_of_game]

LOL!

I hate the Yanks `coz I hate NYC in general...

 

of course, the last few years showed me just how capable they were of treating their own guys badly.

almost seems like class walked out of the organization again as soon as Torre was made to pack his bags.

and yeah, I'm not a fan of one-dimensional baseball which relies too much on heavy hitting to get things done.

 

I'm lukewarm on the Sox but I do feel that they have a better blueprint for winning and even more than that, I get this feeling that they get it i.e. playing the game the right way is bigger than just winning. it's a bit romanticized I know, but it's something I can respect.

:upside:

[denimhead]

nah .. boras actually convinced them that Tex doesnt want the phillies ... and the phils were still feeling the jd drew fiasco ... so they opted for a guy sure to play for the team

theres an old new yorker where i live at .. he said he loved the yankeess growing up ... di maggio, mantle, yogi etc ... anyways he stopped being a yankee fan the day steinbrenner bought the franchise and started throwing money around.... he said that made him turn sour on the yankees and baseball .. he even said that "steinbrenner" is whats wrong with sports... but at the same time he cries about the phils and their cheapskate ways ... go figure

[bubuy]

as doc always loves to say, it's the nature of the beast..

much more so in the MLB, the rich get richer..

[gift_of_game]

Boras has this way of scaring off teams.

not too sure if there's a pattern but he's also got this way of dictating where his guys are gonna go.

almost seems like he wanted Tex to end up in NY all along.

[denimhead]

but it wasnt a beast before ... more like "mans best friend" somebody made it into a beast and one of the culprits was the boss....

[consiglieri]

my bad

 

melky and igawa for cameron

 

ok lang kahit di nakuha si tex...mas masarap matalo ang yanks ngayon...hahahaha

 

and i love what game said about the yanks-sox

 

its good to see buy their way to a playoff spot now

[bubuy]

or the used car salesman from milwaukee..

[gift_of_game]

the Yanks want to win at any cost, I guess.

love them, hate them, whatever...they just want to put the best team out there even if it means playing overpriced, mismatched parts.

[bubuy]

ok lang kahit di nakuha si tex...mas masarap matalo ang yanks ngayon...hahahaha

dont make those kind of statements at this point, it doesnt come off good.. its like maasim na ubas..

 

 

clearly, as doc already stated, the Red Sox need Tex.. papi is already on the decline, its never too early too have a replacement.. ellsbury isnt yet the player they want him to be..

[gift_of_game]

Lars Anderson will get fast-tracked, I guess...

 

OT:

I hope Rodney Stuckey changes his number to "50" next season... :thumbsupsmiley:

[consiglieri]

hahaha....halata ba yung asim sa statement...

 

i agree the sox need him...with lowell on the decline na din...they'll manage...(i hope)....with pitching (i hope...)

[denimhead]

or the used car salesman from milwaukee..

 

 

in the movie "W" oliver stone was making it out that Bush's dream job when he joined the group that owned the Rangers was to be the MLB Commish .... what if......

 

 

 

 

but yeah i agree the Sox do have a better gameplan for long term success than the Yanks.... as of this posting Mets are supposed to be in deep talks with Lowe

 

the Mets .. another team with Yankee game plan ...

[bubuy]

they're New York, i guess they can't help it.. :upside:

[gift_of_game]

NY doesn't deserve a winner.

 

and oh yes, I'm hating!!!

LOL!

:evil:

[Jongkers]

Ayun, umamin na!

[consiglieri]

im good with the mets...i kinda like em...

 

the only NY team i want to be successful is the Knicks
