I have to give it to them though, almost all the knuckleheads are gone.

Okay....
Edited, but in my own way Joey. And that Bishop is a holy terror kitty. I think she managed to pull the plug out of a space heater after she escaped from the play room last night. Perfect for you..

It has been 94 years since their last WS Championship. Due to the PED's 2004 & 2007 do not count as victories.

Never have. Even when I lived up in the Northeast I never liked them. My Brothers were all Yankees fans and I could never warm up to them, either.

A team that made a ton of moves in the off-season, built up a lot of hype, and then greatly disappointed.

Toronto won't finish in the Top 2 in the AL east and misses the playoffs... They may still finish ahead of Boston, though.

tweaks a hammy on the first day, Ortiz says he expects to be ready by Opening Day and proceeds to rip last years' manager and then talks about his favorite subject...no protection in the lineup for him, and Lester says he has nothing to prove. Welcome to 1973.

I was in a local sport bar in NY, which is also a big Red Sox bar. On the TVs, they had special reports from Red Sox Spring training. Man, the Red Sox sports guys were talking up John Lackey in a big, big way. It made me chuckle. How can you tell that a pitcher has good stuff by watching him throw a bullpen session?

I'm willing to give Lackey one more chance...but like most fans he needs to prove himself pretty darn quickly this year after the last few.

in the hopes to ship him off in a trade to someone. Maybe back to the Angels?

Yet wouldn't quit...maybe that's true, or maybe just part of the hype...he could do well now that he's healthy...and if they ship him off, who do they have? Not really deep in pitching right now.
