The red sock game;) If you didnt I would like to know how I can get it to you. It is strictly a baseball poem so dont be nervous;) I have nothing but respect for you. I have been told by all who have read it that it is a really good poem. I like it if I do say so myself. You were always my favorite when you were with the D-Backs.

Greetings from South Korea (via Indiana & Boston) ! I have a few comments and some questions,
1) I hope the Sox don’t go after Santana. Yeah, if the entire goal of the organization is to be competive for the next 2 seasons, fine, but I think with the team we have we can compete with the Yankees as is. Keep both young pitchers and definitely keep Ellsbury!

2) Schiiling is not a moron– hey Yankee fans, do A-Rod, Jeter, and Clemens have blogs that you can know their indepth thoughts and point of views? (Probably not !). So, why are you always badmouthing him, jealous?

3) Red Sox fans, come on. The Yankees don’t suck, they are up there every year and to beat them is quite an accomplishment. You can hate their guts (like I do), but come on, they don’t suck.

4) What I would like to know is– what does a major league pitcher do in the off-season? Do they hang around the house with the wife and kids? Do they travel and go to exotic places around the country or overseas? What does a pitcher do in the off-season, do they have a gym and work out daily or do they take it easy and wait for Spring training to start. Lastly, do Sox players keep in touch with each other during the offseason?

If you happen to see this comment and respond, thanks in advance, and good luck to you and the Sox in’08.

Tony Adams

You are a complete moron
Your comments and opinions should never be published ANYWHERE

The smartest thing that you could do for baseball, is to retire immediately and keep your Big Mouth SHUT………

In 2003 I lead a field trip to New England. The party included two Yankee fans, myself (a fool for so long Red Sox fan), and a Curt Schilling figurine in a Phillies uniform. I brought the action figure to tease one of my Yankee fan friends. I kept telling him that Curt was going to sign with Boston. June 18th, a Thursday, the three of us were in box seats watching the Sox play Toronto. We played golf and hung out in Newport on Friday, and Saturday we watched the Yankees play Cleveland in Yankee Stadium. It was old timers day. My skin STILL crawls at the thought of being in that place without a gun to my head!
Every time we were in the rental vehicle, I would point to the action figure perched on the rear view mirror and say, “Curt’s coming to Boston”. My Yankee friend was less than impressed. He wanted to throw Curt out of the car in New York with the thought that he would join Randy Johnson there. Blame it on his being a Yankee fan born in Mississippi, and living in Tennessee! When we turned the vehicle in, I forgot the figurine on the mirror, and that Yankee fan decided NOT to remind me that I had left it there, so after Curt signed I said thanks to my Yankee friend for leaving Curt in Boston. He will never get over it, especially the way the 2004 post season went. To this day he takes full responsibility for Curt signing. Oh! The joy of a Yankee fan’s pain.

I have tried before and would like to try again. I am sure that there is a right way and a wrong way. I am sure there is a right way and a wrong way to make thisrequest, but I do not know where to begin. I would be very interested in seeing if you wouold be able to come and share your story and especially your faith, with the men of the Diocese of Providence. I would love to ge tin touch with the right people to see if we can make that happen. I would love to leave my email address here, but I want to avoid gettng tons of emails from others who read your blog. I am hoping that you could get my email from the people at wordpress.com. My guess is that they would be able to provide that to you.

Hope to see you the first day of work outs, in Spring Training!

God Bless You!

It’s quite possible that Buchholz may be the best pitcher in that group next season, after Beckett. Why toss Wakefield and his 4.75 ERA out there when Buchholz is a budding ace according to virtually every scout of note in or out of the game?

I don’t think Santana’s increased ERA and gaudy home run total (30) were an accident. My gut still screams that this will end up being a bad deal.

Remember, Yankees fans were similarly ebullient about Jason Giambi once upon a time. Then A-Rod. Then, Randy Johnson was going to come in and save the day (snicker). Do we want to sell off all the kids to chase superstars? Mortgage the future for the present, like the Yanks did? Where did it get them?

I would love to hear more detail about your business. I’ve read a lot about your company, however; I was looking at the MMO Market and it looks pretty crowded with other developers. Of course, some are probably not making much noise in the market. But, I was interested in seeing your thoughts on the Market and your thoughts on how to establish yourself like WOW has…

God Bless
