Rock,

I loved Ortiz' speech but were you a little surprised it wasn't Dusty?

Career red sock, thought he would have gotten the nod

Ortiz has more years in Boston than any other player...."captain" by default....so to speak.

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

word

"This is our fucking town" probably loses its impact when spoken in broken english

Lol definitely my thoughts also

 

[Village Plumber]

Except for the fact they are reporting he is getting zero guaranteed money..

read betterer. Much much betterer

 

[Down38st8]

I have no idea what Revis was thinking

"GET ME THE FUCK OUT OF HERE, NOW!!!!!"

speaking of ortiz, he looked pretty good down, no?

legged out a double, looked good

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

"GET ME THE FUCK OUT OF HERE, NOW!!!!!"

Yeah but he went from a division with one powerhouse to one with 2 potential powerhouses and a not too shabby Panthers squad

 

[Village Plumber]

"GET ME THE FUCK OUT OF HERE, NOW!!!!!"

Sadly enough, that's the most plausible explanation I've heard yet

 

[Rock Strongo]

down...

soderberg

as advertised?

looks good so far, loving that new line

 

[CowboyB]

Considering how many times he's held the Jets hostage over the fact that they didn't offer him a lot of guaranteed money? Not me

The entire Hard Knocks holdout a few years ago was solely because he wanted a ton of guaranteed money

Think betterrer, much betterrer.

I was wrong about Will Middlebrooks, Down was right. The Sox have a problem at 3rd base

 

[Down38st8]

If he doesn't get cut in the first 2 or 3 seasons, that's 32-48 guaranteed and that's a big nut in the NFL. And the cap number increases after his 2nd year, so he probably would mind being cut after making 32 and finding another big deal

Except...this is the NFL...

"Not For Long"

Really stunning, as he's always seemed the type that is going to get that last dollar at all cost...which I'm not knocking him for, in the NFL? Hell yes...get your cake, owners wipe their asses with player contracts all the time...

give it time

 

[Rock Strongo]

i would like to announce stephen drew has a -4 OPS+

cant recall seeing many negative OPS+'s

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

Sadly enough, that's the most plausible explanation I've heard yet

The Jets weren't giving him 16 even this season with all their needs

 

[Down38st8]

Really can't comment, since the Sox got started I haven't watched much...I'll tune back in for the playoffs though, same with the NBA...kind of cruise control at this point with both...

With that? Fuck Jason Terry...

 

[CowboyB]

VP, do you consider the Buccs one of the Super Bowl contenders from last year??

 

[Village Plumber]

Has any team ever been booed before they even played a minute of the season?

Because there is a looming PR nightmare coming when the Jets get booed walking out of the tunnel in week 1.... a couple of minutes after Revis (in a Bucs uniform) comes out of the tunnel

And I was fine with the trade.... but I know a train wreck waiting to happen when I see one (enough years of posting with CowboyB I guess), and Revis @ Jets in 1 week is a train wreck waiting to happen

He wasn't getting much more than 32 guaranteed anyway, and he basically is getting that minimum. Tampa isn't cutting him in the first 2 years
