Boston fans said get in line, they are wanting one for Carl Crawford first.

Now it's 100% average, at best. I'm waiting on the expose of what the %$*% happened to Hanley Ramirez.

You should definitely be watching the Franchise on Showtime. Such a awesome show.

I mean god damn, what is Seattle feeling guilty about the Jesus Montero trade? Give me a effing break, Ichiro is Seattle...wow. God damn I hate the f*cking Yankees

Yeah, the Montero deal was BAD for the Yankees, even if the pitcher they got hadn't injured himself.

Is Seattle having money issues? Two unknown minor league pitchers for the greatest hitter in the game since Pete Rose? He's still great, not quite the Ichiro he used to be but worth way more than they got back in return.

Funny part about this deal...the two teams were playing in Seattle. Ichiro just showed up the the park as usual but went to the other locker room, suited up and went out and got a hit in his first AB as a Yank.

Crazy deal....never saw this coming. I didn't think Seattle would ever part with him. The fans are probably pisssed. Japan too...since Seattle was just a plane ride away.

I think the Mariners even gave the Yankees cash as part of the deal. Seattle had to do something, Ichiro didn't want to be part of the rebuilding process. Still, has to hurt for the fans

[Monkeydad]

Yeah, Yanks paying approx. $2.2mil if the $7.6mil salary...less than half the price for half a season, so Seattle chipped in some cash.

With Gardner probably not coming back, Swisher hurt now...smart move, so they don't have to rely on Andruw Jones and Dwayne Wise down the stretch.


Ichiro wearing #31, not Bernie's number.

Don't blame him. He's 38 years old.

Yes, but Asians don't show age.

Ah . . . alas. I have Showtime but haven't watched any episodes of The Franchise. Does this provide the expose that I'm wishing for on Ramirez?

BTW, rumors are that Ramirez is indeed being shopped now. Among possible suitors, I'd pull for the A's to grab him.

Hanley is a Dodger now.


Also, the Phillies just made a STUPID move. They've been trying to trade Cole Hamels. No one wanted him for the salary he makes....so the Phillies made him the 2nd-highest paid pitcher behind Sabathia after failing to trade him. Bonehead move. He's not worth THAT money, and definitely not worth more than Cliff Lee and Roy Halladay. They're going to regret this I think.

[SmootSmack]

Man, I'm just seeing this story now about Cal Ripken's mother being abducted at gunpoint last night. Thankfully she's ok now. Crazy though

I bet if she was packing heat it wouldn't have happened.

Cop fired for slurring Carl Crawford of the Boston Red Sox - ESPN Boston


Did I miss something? When did "Monday" get transformed into a racial word? Got to be the stupidest crap I've ever heard of...lol

[Monkeydad]

What the hell?

The word is considered a racial slur when associated with the phrase, "I hate Mondays."

No it isn't. I hate Mondays too, unless the Skins aren't playing that night or if it's my birthday and I've taken off work.

Boston...geesh, getting worse every day.
