December 27th, 2005 by Ian · Comments Off ·

Well the Sox lost out on another free agent again, as Kevin Millwood signed a deal with the Texas Rangers. Once again the Red flops have undervalued another player. The Sox felt that he was only worth a 3 yr $30 million dollar contract, while the Rangers gave him a 4 yr $48 million dollar [...]

Why does UCONN play cupcake games?

December 23rd, 2005 by Ian · Comments Off ·

OK I am actually writing this blog during the UCONN-Morehead State basketball game and it makes me wonder, why does UCONN schedule games likes this. We are actually paying Morehead State $90,000 to play this game. The Morehead State coach didn’t even want to play this game. He felt his team was not to the [...]

Way to go Sox………NOT!!!!!!!!

December 23rd, 2005 by Ian · Comments Off ·

Well the Red Sox showed the Yankees something last night by signing John Flaherty to a contract. This will hurt the Yankees because Flaherty was Randy Johnson’s personal catcher. Oh by the way, I did forget to mention that Flaherty wasn’t in the Yankee’s plans for next year as they had signed Kelly Stinnet as [...]

The freaking Yankees are you kidding me. The Yanks hadn’t done a thing on the free agent [...]

December 17th, 2005 by Ian · Comments Off ·

Have you ever gotten a parking ticket for parking where your not supposed to? And do you think to yourself, this fine is a little ridiculous? If you do, don’t be like this idiot.
This guy in Portsmouth, New Hampshire received a parking ticket for parking in a handicapped spot, which carries a $100 fine. There’s [...]

Say It Aint So Nomar?

December 13th, 2005 by Ian · Comments Off ·

Well for those who don’t read the sports page, one of the teams interested in Nomar’s services next year are the NY Yankees or as I commonly refer to them, the Spankees.
Why Nomar, why would you even consider this? It’s not like you need the money. Are you bitter still about the trade from the [...]

Rebuttal to “Who Owns The Ball”…..

December 12th, 2005 by Ian · Comments Off ·

This rebuttal comes from a contributing editor, Marc Agdish, who wanted to give his rebuttal to a post i made earlier.
Rebuttal to “Who Owns The Ball”…..

Renteria trade

December 8th, 2005 by Ian · Comments Off ·

Just a quick note for Sox fans. The Red Sox have traded Edgar Renteria to the Atlanta Braves for minor league 3B prospect, Andy Marte.
I don’t understand this trade at all. Yes, the Sox overpayed when they signed Renteria to a 4 yr 40 million dollar contract. But why give up on him after 1 [...]
