Cheer up Sox Fans

[Transmogrifier]

I never said that it was genius - but give some credit where it is due. Cashman is experienced and is good at what he does.

Agreed. Cashman is great. I loved the complaints by the Yank fans about him... I was hoping he'd go. But, I bet he's ensured a bit of job security now.

With this deal he stuck it to his biggest rival in a particularly surprising way. It was a shock and it hurt the Sox. He is winning the PR war. He did a good job, admit it.

The more I think about it, this is what bothers me--the PR hit, and all these people talking about this alleged curse. Please. This has nothing to do with Babe Ruth and other made-up issues. It has to do with George's deep pockets, his willingness to dip into them, and a great rivalry.

The test for Epstein is to see if he reacts to this and signs someone just to appear to be responding to the Yanks. He doesn't need to do anything, he has a good team - sit tight Theo.

Agreed. Theo should sit tight. We do have a budget, and it should be saved for July. Say we go get Vidro or another 2b, and then Manny breaks his arm diving for a fly ball (HA HA!, right!), and we don't have the cash to get a replacement? Let it go...

picturing manny diving for a ball pretty much made my morning

i think Chavez is going to end up going somewhere other than Boston or NY. maybe atlanta? they'll have the money next year and could use the pop in the lineup.
