How About a Good Laugh: Disgruntled Millar, Out of a Job, Moans About the TEAM’S “Lack of Loyalty”
Thursday, December 29th, 2005At the end of the 2003 season, Nomar Garciaparra turned down a four-year, $60+ million contract proposal from the Red Sox… you see, in spite of injuries, he EXPECTED more. And when the Red Sox explained their rationale for setting the salary bar at four years and $15 million per season, they were [...]
By Signing Damon, Did George Steinbrenner Lose at a Game of High Stakes Poker?
Wednesday, December 28th, 2005The hot stove is burning with rumors concerning Johnny Damon’s new deal in Gotham.
Did George Steinbrenner believe the Red Sox could NOT afford to lose Damon? Did he make an offer that he thought the Red Sox HAD TO match?
Did Damon and his agent (Scott Boras) foil Steinbrenner’s plan when they failed [...]
Rangers Land Millwood
Tuesday, December 27th, 2005The Texas Rangers just don’t seem to get it. The Rangers keep making the same mistake — over and over and over again — and continue to demonstrate the reasons they will NEVER win a world championship.
First it was A-Rod in 2000. Then it was Chan-Ho Park in 2001. And after a [...]
Troy Glaus to Blue Jays (?)
Tuesday, December 27th, 2005Reports out of Toronto indicate that the Blue Jays and Diamondbacks have agreed to a trade that will send 3B Troy Glaus to Toronto in exchange for 2B Orlando Hudson and pitcher Miguel Batista.
One Sox blog out there proclaimed the Blue Jays just got better — again — with the trade.
Sorry, I dont [...]

The Statistics Indicate Sox Made Correct Decision… Yankees May Regret Damon Signing
Friday, December 23rd, 2005I will not digress into another sililoquy about the apparent lack of direction of the Red Sox front office at this point in time. Instead, I want to set forth my theory as to why I believe the Red Sox made an intelligent business decision in allowing Johnny “Jesus” Damon to walk down Rte [...]
Tim Wakefield… Tis the Season to be Thankful for Those Who ARE Here
Friday, December 23rd, 2005Amid all the commotion and consternation caused by Mssrs Boras and Damon around the Hub this week — all because neither of them picked up the phone to say “we’re going to the Yankees unless you’ve got one final offer” — let’s spend Christmas weekend contemplating one of the players we DO have on our [...]
Memo to Red Sox Brass: Call TB
Thursday, December 22nd, 2005Everyone eventually gets tired of hearing self-professed seers, sages and soothsayers put forth their hot stove trade proposals so I will not bore you with my tedious suggestion….
er, yes I will.
I am of the opinion that the Red Sox must throw down the gauntlet and telephone Tampa Bay… right now! At 1AM! Because [...]
Downright Embarrassing
Thursday, December 22nd, 2005As if L’affair du Theo wasn’t enough, Red Sox Nation has been forced to endure L’affair du Manny for the last two months… and as any Red Sox fan knows, both of these developments have been downright embarrassing for an organization that thirteen short months ago was on top of the baseball world.
Then we all [...]
OK, John Henry… Are You Going To Listen To Me NOW????
Wednesday, December 21st, 2005I have been saying it for two months.
I have been saying it ever since L’Affair du’ Theo.
I have said it loudly… and consistently… and persistently.
Leaving the management of the Red Sox baseball operations to Larry Lucchino and his Lucchino-files was a HUGE mistake by John Henry.
HUGE!!!
Did you REALLY think the hiring of the two-headed GM [...]
