Random Thoughts as we await a decision from Mike:
So apparently, the Skanks have decided not to offer Mike Lowell the opportunity to play 1st base for them, opting to go with Shelly Duncan and Jason Giambi instead–while I am glad Mike will not be going THERE, and watching Giambi (who make Lugo look like an [...]

How bout BARRY BONDS??? Is he finally going to get what he deserves? As you know, he was indicted yesterday on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice–becasue he told a federal grand jury he did not knowingly use performance-enhancing drugs. Bonds could serve up to 30 years in prison if he [...]

While Eric Wedge winning Manager of the Year surprises no one (I have noticed none of the major awards has any kind of upsets this year–Fairly predictable…) Tito was FOURTH? Behind Joe Torre? The man who continues to blow out his bullpen year after year? The man who has to manage a bunch [...]

Whoo Hoo! No sooner than the rumors were out and about that a deal with Curt Schilling was imminent, that is happened…a contract for $8 million base salary, with incentives that could bump him up to $14 million was agreed upon by the Sox and Curt… The contract also includes a $2 million portion that [...]

In a deal that will be more than likely full of incentives, and contingent upon completion of a physical, it looks like Curt Schilling and the Sox are very close to working out a deal for him to stay with the Sox for his final year in baseball. From Curt on his website: “Talks with [...]

I would be a liar if I didn’t admit that the thought of adding Todd Helton to the starting 9 is a very heady idea..but right now, that is pretty much all it is…
The big story this weekend is that Colorado has approached the Red Sox about the possibility of trading Todd Helton (and his [...]

That is how long it took for the Sox to work out the “minor language issues” with J.D. Drew and his agent, Lou-Cipher…Apparently the protection the Sox were looking for has been agreed to– the ability to void the contract’s final 2 years if his right shoulder fails in the 3rd year. If aninjury occurs [...]

I never really imagined Trot leaving…I always thought that Theo would get the STUPID deal done with “Just Dangling” and he would then sign Trot to be at least a utility player..
But, at least if he has to go somewhere, Cleveland isn’t a bad place to go…I like Cleveland, my Dad and friend Warren are [...]

Well, its not looking good in the never-ending saga to get the best starting rotations in the majors. Satan has pretty much shut down all talks between he and the Sox for the services of Matsuzaka. He was supposed to be coming to Boston, but now, according to Boras, he would only be going [...]

With a little more than a week left in the Daisuke Matsuzaka sweepstakes, the odds of signing the right hander are quickly dropping…Asking an arm, a leg and Theo’s first three children, Satan (in his “human” disguise as Scott Boras) is throwing completely unreasonable demands at the Sox–and he won’t budge from them… a quick [...]
