And what's the shit with Grady Little getting the managers job with the Dodgers

Doom878 · 12-08-2005, 11:13 PM

I saw that. Wasn't he the guy that got fired for keeping Pedro in too long. He wasn't that bad.

let's just say he was getting tired of catching

I bet this goes the same way it did when Piazza tried first first base. Excellent

Although I guess he is a little more athletic than Pizza boy...hopefully for the O's it works out though. And maybe Bruce Chen will have another monster year

Scottman111 · 12-09-2005, 1:30 AM

What's Tejada bitching about now?

Doom878 · 12-09-2005, 8:24 AM

Yankee fans might or might not be happy. I heard ARod on the radio and he said they were re-signing Bernie Williams. He also said they're in the hunt for Johnny Damon but that's

He also mentioned he's leaning on playing for the Dominican Republic for the upcoming World Cup.

esCarbonie · 12-09-2005, 10:49 AM

baltimore would never trade him to a division rival. though they do need starting pitching and we do have a logjam there

"The addition of Hernandez will mean less time behind the plate for Orioles catcher Javy Lopez, who complained of sore knees toward the end of last season. Lopez is eager to spend more time as a designated hitter and at first base.

Baltimore also might trade Lopez for a starting pitcher, one of the team's biggest needs."

We'll have Youk at first, Loretta at 2nd, Cora at short (or someone else), and Lowell at 3rd (and first w/ Marta at 3rd too).

If Manny gets traded and Damon signs with the yankees, Nixon will be the only outfielder left from the world series team...

It's really messed up... but it looks like we'll have a really different team next year...

so much is up in the air...

LOL... I love this "rumor" stuff... on Boston sportstalk radio they are saying that Tejada wants out of Baltimore and would LOVE to play in Boston...

Tejada's agent won't comment until he talks to Tejada... Should be interesting to here what's going on when I listen to the radio on the way home...

Good point, and the Sox don't want to trade Manny to a division rival either... BUT that's what makes this trade rumor so damn interesting...

http://www.boston.com/sports/basebal...xtras/thebuzz/

"I've been with the Orioles for two years and things haven't gone in the direction that we were expecting, so I think the best thing will be a change of scenery"

Manny will produce more (RBI, HR, etc), but has those "manny being manny" issues.Tejada has a lot of intangibles going for him, and we could use a SS.

I would love to see Tejada in boston...

Doom878 · 12-09-2005, 2:26 PM

Theoretically that trade makes sense. But the whole division thing screws it up.

I met Cliff Floyd back in 97. He's pretty down to earth. They had just played the Reds actually and he got beaned by Pete Schourek. I asked him about it and he was like Yeah Man I was pissed.

Scottman111 · 12-09-2005, 4:30 PM

ha Pete Schourek I used to love that guy. Him and John Smiley used to hit home-runs all the time and I thought it was so cool when I was younger

Yeah Bernie will most likely come back to the Bronx for a serious cut in pay , he won't be getting 12mil a year more like 1-2 mil..Steinbrenner is in love with Damon since he was with the Royals so most likely he'll be a Yankee but its a tough pill to swallow since he was a Gay Sox . A-Rod has been stirring for months on who he was gonna play for but him being an American born but with Dominican roots that has always been thrown in the air. The argument was if Piazza can play for Italy why cant Alex play for the Dominican Republic..I say let him play for the US so they have atleast half a chance to beat the Dominican Republic

NightShredder · 12-09-2005, 6:09 PM

I know the Yanks would love to have Damon on the team but I doubt it will happen. I don't think the Yanks are interested in signing Damon to a 7-year contract like he is looking for. He will make the team better, but that might be to big of a contract for the Yanks to put out since Damon won't be much of an improvement in the field. He has a weak arm just like Williams and people tend to run on him easily. They are better off keeping payroll down and staying with Crosby then possibly trading for someone during the year. Whatever happens at least we finally got rid of Brown.

esCarbonie · 12-09-2005, 8:06 PM

finally someone takes a hardline stance on manny being retarded

will manny be traded? :

"Not now. His personal problems are his responsibility, not those of the team. The Angels will not give up value, and neither can the Mets. The three-way with the Dodgers and Phillies (Ramirez to L.A.; Derek Lowe, Trot Nixon and a prospect to Philly; Bobby Abreu, J.D. Drew and a prospect to Boston) fell apart quickly. For $160 million, it is Ramirez's job to accept some adult responsibility. He can ask to be traded, but he has no right to demand one. He can sit at home and forfeit $57 million, or he can forfeit the last three years and pay $40 million in damages to be a free agent." -- 12.8.05, Peter Gammons, ESPN.com Insider (subscription)

CL Platano · 12-09-2005, 8:35 PM

lol..that's hilarious..Bobby Abreu in Boston would be too scary

Doom878 · 12-12-2005, 9:06 AM

So now there are rumors that:

Roger Clemens going back to teh BoSox.

Matt Morris going to the Giants.

Doom878 · 12-13-2005, 12:09 AM

Morris signed with San Fran.
