yeah matty, i'll be there with ya. I'd rather see millar get sent back to florida, let him flap that big unproductive mouth there. Billy Mueller is Mr Clutch and i'll take one Olerud over seventeen Millars any day.
Rumor has it tho that Mueller is going to the Twins, they're just waiting to announce it till this series is over. It'd be heartwrenching to have to face Mueller tomorrow from the left side of Fenway.And for all the Os fans: Next year.

i will seriously shed a tear if mueller leaves.
(pathetic i know, but its like your mom trading away the family dog for a new kitchen set)
billy ballgame has been my boy since he got here and everything he's done for the team has just intensified my non-sexual man crush with him.
- GreedoLives0
Even after that half-mullet that seems to have been sprouting off his head of late?
- mattyd0
its not a mullet! a mullet is defined as 'business in front. party in the back'
he's just got a party going on all around (cos he is the man)
and, for the record, dave roberts would still be standing on second were it not for bill.

After they picked up Wade Miller, i was secretly hoping they'd pick up all the Muellers, Millers, Millars available and field that, just because. Would've made for some good Herald headlines, i'm sure.
- mattyd0
hahaha, that wouldve been sweet.
reminds me of my ill-fated attempt to have my fantasy team be comprised completely of lefties.
also, though the herlad is complete crap, the headlines are priceless.

i, for one, am glad manny aint moving. breaking up the ortiz/ramirez combo for mike cameron or aubrey huff never sounded right to me.
- GreedoLives0
I'll believe it when manny's still here after today. You already saw what happens if manny's not in the lineup, big papi walked 4 times yesterday. They are without a doubt the biggest 3-4 punch in baseball.

I have been in Spain for 10 months and no words can describe the joy i feel every night as I log into MLB.TV.
Jays are going to take the wildcard....

it's tampa bay's fault this thing fell through, they got too greedy. Fine by me.
Maybe the Mets will get him by next year, but he ain't gonna be much cheaper.

1.) I can't believe how wild Manny-gate got. With that said, it was wise to resolve the situation and keep him. Even as goofy as he is (why don't more people question how loaded he appears to be?) the guy is a monster, and I don't want to see that Ortiz Manny combo break up until we have another basher to replace him.
2.) I didn't want to give up Mueller either, but couldn't we have done something else to get Romero? Shoppach and Stern? Millar? Sanchez?
3.) Does Schilling stay in the pen when Foulke comes back?
4.) I guess we can still get a reliever in a waiver-wire deal through 8.31. What options do we have though? Scott Eyre? Bob Wickman? Can we sneak Guadardo through?
5.) Regardless of what happens, I like the Sox prospects next year. We've got Hanley, Pedroia, Manny Declarmen, Youkilis, Lester, and how about the way Papelbon threw today? He might stay in the rotation the rest of the year if he keeps this up.
6.) BTW, looks like we need to insist on a Giami urine test right about now.
7.) Oh and yeah, while I used to like embree, does anybody see this as a Ramiro Mendoza situation, where he goes in and tries to jinx the enemy? How much is Theo paying him to make that timely late inning bad throw?

1.) Damn Buddylee, I mean, do you have a life besides creating aliases on internet message board? Did you really have to start a new name just to talk shit to me?
2.) Since when is weighing 145 lbs out of shape?
3.) Generally, when people talk about their favorite sports teams, they speak in thea possessive sense--certainly before you had your user name deleted from the nt database you spoke in a similar manner.
4.) The whole brooke thing must have you delirious.
- GreedoLives0
hey hey look buddylee is back, the yanks must've won one.
how's embree treating ya, buddy? also, i heard buddy groom said some choice words to torre...
So who's starting this week? Whitey Ford? Bob Shawkey?
- elYaqui0
Yeah, the Yankees are still hanging in there. I was surprised by the great comeback they had today. Even if Randy Johnson had an off day.
As far as the Red Sux, I'm sure they'll melt sooner or later. Hopefully, someone will figure something out and get Manny out of Boston. I hear it's a racist community.
And Rob, 145lbs? I'm sorry. :(
