They traded a disgruntled player who has a bum wrist and nagging achillies injury for two healthy gold glove cheap role players. I'll take it. More money to spend on the FA market in the offseason too since Lowe will either walk or sign for cheap money, Te the same, and Pedro will sign for around 14 mil.

Meintkeiwicz whatever the spelling will end up starting 90% of the games at 1B now thank god. Hopefully Roberts plays full time in RF til Nixon is healthy(if ever). Their pitching is fine, and it will look BRILLIANT with this awesome defense behind it. Boston is #2 in the Al in runs scored and #5 in batting average...Most of that came without Nomar in the lineup. He wasnt happy, he made everyne else miserable, and he was leaving anyways. Good to see the Sox get something valuable in return unlike Clemens. (I won't say Vaughn because there was a legit REASON to let him walk)

Right now I think when Pokey comes back the lineup should be... Damon CF Cabrera SS Ortiz DH Manny LF Varitek C Meint-whatever 1B Mueller 3B Roberts RF Reese 2B

First of all it was henri Stanley that we traded for roberts...NOT Hanley ramirez...that would be just retarded. Second I don't smoke crack I watch every Red Sox game every year and I know what this team needs to win. Nomar was not part of this team at ANY time this season and wasn't adding anything productive on or off the field to this team this season. He was 100% gone to free agency after this season ends, so whats wrong with picking up some players who can play fundamental baseball without having the bitching and moaning the god damn superstar retards always have here in Boston. I would much rather watch a team like the Florida Marlins with their good defense and good speed with timely hitting and good pitching that watch a team that only thinks about OBP and doesn't pay any attention to Defense. We already have good pitching, especially when Williamson comes back this week. This team needed defense BADLY! Thank you Theo for making this a better team and making sure the future looks brighter at the same time.

Yes, Murton goes to the cubs. This is an EXCELLENT trade for Boston if you ask me. Nomar missed most of this season and without him their offense was still in the top 5 in baseball. With the defense INSANELY improved thanks to Cabrera and Meint-whatever, and the addition of Dave Roberts into right field replacing injured Nixon. I love this deal because it adds the small ball speed nature to the already potent power of Manny/Ortiz. Defense is the ONLY reason the sox are so far behind the Yankees. Look at the unearned runs the Sox have given up compared to every other MLB team. I have watched TONS of poor errors ruin games for this team this season. I'm extremely excited to watch my Red Sox again, especially when Pokey reese comes back from his injury giving them 3 Gold Glove infielders and a very reliable Mueller at 3B too.

Red Sox: 1. The Fans - Overrated when labeled "The most intelligent fans in baseball". 2. The Media - Feeding off the fans' stupidity and adding to it. 3. Terry Fucking Francona - Grady would have this team 6 games better than the Yankees right now.

I'm with Mike. This game is awesome! Thank you Sega, Thank you ESPN. I have seen the light.

Assess Me.

I would love to go to a contender(with other TSM'ers) before becoming a free agent

I'm also doing a Pats Franchise... Dillon is GOD when it comes to catching the ball. Right now he's my 3rd leading reciever behind Graham and Branch. I find passing to the RB and TE is very successful. I have really figured out the passing game now but the running game is still a little tough. just had a game where I sacked Matt Hasselbeck 10 times with Seymour(that's sick...) Poole is definitely a sniper out there with the picks, ditto for Wilson.

It only costs 35-40 bucks. Best Buy is our friend

I'm in as the Pats

For one, you can't use custon stadium music (I don't think you can rip tracks onto the PS2 HDD). You can use the music the game provides, but it isn't much to write home about (although you can buy more soundtracks in the Crib, which I haven't yet), and if you don't have a HDD, you'll only see stills of the plays in the halftime and postgame shows, instead of full motion clips. From what I have read, they have some installable software coming out for the PS2 HDD that WILL allow you to rip music to it...and ESPN 2K5 is already set up for when it does come out.

Boston's season ended tonight when their "Ace" and their "closer" (I use that term extremely loosely) both sucked a big fat one tonight. Man it's good to see I was right about Foulke being unable to handle the pressure of being a Red Sox.

I got the game and got all signed up for this league... but... I hafta say, my first impressions of the game are NOT good. The controls don't feel right to me...but that could just be because i'm so used to madden's smooth controls. I think this game is way too focused on the presentation(which is really nice) and the little extra features. I'll hafta give it some more playtime so i can at least compete in the online league, but I think madden is still my game of choice for the gameplay itself.

I'll most likely be getting the game in the next few days, so sign me up for the PS2 league as the Pats

...and yet if Timlin came in and blew the game, Grady gets fired anyways for taking out the "best pitcher in baseball" in that situation. Boston fans and Media would make sure of it I promise you.

I'm in total agreement with Frigid with excption to Youkilis...he's really really really overrated. Great eye. Average bat. Below average Defense.

I'm willing to bet alot that if they didn't get retarded and fire Grady Little this team would be in first place right now. No offense to the yankees, but this team is WAY better than they are playing right now. Alot of that had to do with the fact that grady had them under control and had ALL their respect. Francona is nothing more than a "yes man" for this incompetent management. Any owners/GM that listens to the local talk radio and reacts accordingly should be banned from sports.

Taking that idea a step farther... If we get enough PS2 online players together we should start a league

I would join an auction league as well. Some friends of mine do that for baseball. They also have contracts for their players. it's kinda complicated to explain though.

Star Ocean 3

Ortiz with the expletive.

Don't you worry 'Sault, we will get the Yanks/Sox ALCS rematch.

I'll post pics from my cousin's reception to prove I was there!
