I hope it works out. Although Boston is nuts if they let Nomar go.

[StaticX]

Just added a poll for all you guys!

[Xeonic]

Just saw the report on SC...shhh...the Rangers and Red Sox are meeting in secret about it and they dont want to attract media attention...um...I'm just guessing, this is only hypothetical, last time I checked ESPN was huge media attention.[/sarcasm]

[Remote]

Its not true. THere is NO trade.

[CatnipOligarchy]

this trade will eventually happen. may not be this season, but eventually arod will go to boston.

[Toxikk Veteran]

he isnt worth it. :unsure:

[Chad]

Never going to happen. There are no trade talks going on anymore this year, and there's no reason for it to happen ever. The salaries were way too different for it to go through. Sheesh...they had to try and get the union to make a special exception for it to happen. That's how far apart they were.

I think it's kinda low that sports teams are treated purely and simply as businesses. I mean - where's he sportsmanship off-field!?

I voted who cares :rolleyes:

[blackcoffee]

Yeah dude; I think Nomar rocks; I mean A-Rod is like a franchise player x infinite; but Garciaparra can hold his own anyday.

[Ayepecks]

It's not happening.

[lawtai]

it probably won't happen, but it'd be pretty sweet if he did get traded to the red sox.

If he can stay healthy

[IndianPimp99]

Man do I feel for Nomar. Just the other day there was a report that he was happy and had put all the trade stuff behind him. Now, they bring it up again. It better happen this time or he might be really ****ed. I would love to see him hit .407 with 30 HR, 145 RBI, 130 Runs, and toss in 55 steals with 7 saves and 2 wins pitching in relief.

What I also don't understand is why Tom Hicks actually wants money back in the deal. Well, the original deal atleast. I mean a Manny for A-Rod deal straight up saves the Rangers $5mil a year, plus the contract runs out sooner meaning they save even more in the long run. Hicks should be forced to pay off all his bad signings (Chan Ho Park...I mean seriously, what ever made him think Park was any good) until he learns his lesson.

You, sir, are a dumbass...

[ShawnB]

The real conspiracy revealed:

While the Manny-for-ARod deal was headlining December, the Patriots were putting together a 12-game winning streak in utter obscurity. Many of the players lashed out at the Boston sports media for ignoring them and some say it kept the fire burning against the weak end of the season (Jax/NYJ/Buffalo).

Now that the Pats are 7 point favs for XXXVIII, Pats head coach Bill Belichek has floated this rumor once again to 'fire up' his players.

While this is obviously total BS, I thought it was entertaining :)

Was there any need for that post, let alone a reason to insult the person you quoted?

Garciaparra doesn't pitch...

[CatnipOligarchy]

Garciaparra doesn't pitch...

jesus people, he was joking.

[ekoostic]

Siht, they just rehired Kim. He gave the bird to all his fans and they rehire him. I hate the red sox.

-Keith

[ShawnB]

Kim is trade-bait for spring training. The sox have a lot of pitching, especially in 'closer' type pitchers:

Kim

Williamson

Foulke

Embry

I predict BK Kim will not be on the opening day roster.

[IndianPimp99]

jesus people, he was joking.

Thank You.

To the others, I know he doesn't pitch and those numbers are unrealistic but I would like to see him have a monster year with the motivation he could get from all of this.

Anyhow, as a Yankees fan I'm not sure how to feel about this. Bostons team last year was plain nasty* as far as offense goes. Manny and Nomar had quite a bit to do with that (Yes, i know Ortiz, Muller, Varitek also had something to do with it as well, but thats besides the point). Getting rid of those 2 for A-Rod might ruin things a bit for them which would be a good thing for me. Because with the bullpen problems gone and a much stronger pitching rotation combined with last years offense , they scare the hell out of me.
