LA/BOSTON TRADE

Question

Yeah I said I would not post much since IwinNothing and Snapper call me a racist every time I show up. Other than the two 24/7 guys wondering how you felt about it. I thought LA made a great trade but after talking to my non racist friend in Boston a lot more to this story. This still a sports site I think. Anybody want to share any thoughts because Theo just called.

Dodgers want to win now, and I think Gonzalez was an excellent acquisition. But I would not have wanted to take on the exorbitant contracts of Crawford and Beckett, However, since the owner has admitted that he wants to try to win now since his farm system is depleted, I cannot criticize him for being honest.

I think today's MLB salaries are completely out of control, but I can understand why their owner is willing to spend an insane amount of money to try to appease the loyal fans.

&#xD;&#xA;What you said was that you would not post at all in the box after being exposed as a racist.  &#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;Do you find that after a few bottles of liquid courage you get......&#xD;&#xA;A.  Braver?&#xD;&#xA;B.  Stupider?&#xD;&#xA;C.  Racier?&#xD;&#xA;D.  Hornier for your Male order bride?&#xD;&#xA;E.  More grammatically challenged?&#xD;&#xA;F.  All of the above?&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;I&#x27;m leaning towards "F"

I cannot believe this deal happened. They got Gonzalez, a guy who can never seem to win. He's on his 5th team, and I can't think of any big hits he's had. He puts up good numbers throughtout a seasonn but none of it seems to be when it matters. That said, he could be considered worth the money. Then there is Crawford, guy can't stay healthy, just had season ending tommy john, and they want tp pick up the 20 mill for the next, what, 5 years? Then there's the Texas Tough Guy, he throws 90 now, and is a fat ass piece of shit. Has been missing time for blister, foot, ankle,lat..... on and on with the issues, its because he's out of shape. He took no responsibility for the joke that was last year, and continued to be the ring leader this year. For boston to trade him, I would have tought they'd eat 75% of that contract, but LA tok it all.

To boot, boston got 2 pitchers who are likely to see the majors, and one of them hits 100. Also, they got a kid who is tearing up the minors, Sands I believe, and should make his way up as well.

Boston got rid of 1/4 mil in payrolls, and most of which was in bad contract. In return they got 3 legit youngsters who should see the MLB. This may help LA this year, but it released Boston from financial restraints for the coming years.

Boston got the far better deal, in my view.

Kurshka · Answer

This is what my friend from Boston told me. beckett is a complete POS. he doesn't even care he's a total douche. Gonzo's shoulder is gone but he's a solid guy and a good player. Gonzo's power numbers fell off a cliff after the first half of his first season. he's a nice player and will hit over .300 and play solid D but not sure he can do the 40/130 thing. crawford as i said i like him as a guy he's solid. but no chance in hell he's worth 21 mil a year.
the owners have been getting absolutely pummeled by the real fans and the media for wasting money and letting the players control everything. also getting hammered for focusing on making Fenway a museum and theme park as opposed to a baseball stadium. there were quite a few empty seats and the ratings on NESN were diving (they own 80% of NESN) so they pulled the trigger.
I asked him about Theo leaving.
a lot of people give Dan Duquetter more credit for building the two World Series teams and they were glad to see Theo leave because of Lackey, Crawford, Cameron, and Jenks. I think the owners forced him to spend recklessly like that since they felt they could fool the sheep that show up every night from now until eternity. brilliant move by the Sox. just shed a shitload of payroll and got rid of beckett

Kurshka · Answer

Squint I agree now that Boston got the best of the deal. Also read somewhere that a lot of the Homers Gonzo hit at Fenway would not have gone out of any other park. Don't know if this is true or not.

Hey Clam boy, get a life.

Betty why must you always bring up old news.

When I was young a got a union job at a major grocery chain. For the first year they bounced me around from store to store. So a lot of the guys treat you pretty shitty and you go home thinking what an asshole. But most those guys became great friends. Some people you don't like at first but later that changes.

I got three that I never liked and never will.

1. Clam Digger.
2. Tox the kiddie drug dealer.
3. You.

Why can't any of you stay out of my threads.

but you change your opinion so damn much about every damned thing Kurshka... I shouldn't even hold that comment against you either way.

Keep making call out threads pretending to be about sports when YOU talk about US throughout the whole first post

Iw1nBets · Answer

are you talking about Kurshka&#x27;s first post in this thread or the Boston/la trade

Kurshka · Answer

Look Betty. I have tried with you but you just a band wagon jumper. You want me to be your friend? You were but because of your devotion to Snaps you pull old threads of mine and give me shit. Don&#x27;t need friends like that. And why does Snaps take everything so serious? Who cares.
