Yeah the Marlins will trade for Foulke's salary.

 

:plain

 

 

And that isn't an insult at all to the Marlins, it would be a stupid thing to do.

Like selling the team to a guy who more or less killed baseball in Montreal...

 

I have to laugh...all the years I lived in Broward..Neil Rogers was right.

 

Like the thread said..you need a closer. Foulke could be had, but if you guys want to rival the '62 Mets...

There is no way we will rival the Mets all-time loss record. Your posts saying the Marlins should trade Olsen for Foulke and Snow (both bums) are insulting. As is your Josh Beckett avatar in BoSox attire. It is no suprise you are from the Tampa Bay area.

Oh, my avatar ticks you off? :) I could change it to a Mike Lowell (in full goatee) if you like. I even have a Hee Seop Choi one floating floating around. I don't have photoshop or I would create one that might reflect the future (I think that Sox 3B coach DeMarlo Hale would gladly relinquish #35, if ya catch my drift).

 

Yes, I live in the Tampa Bay area, but I am a Boston area native (trust me..this area bites. I don't drive a pickup truck, can't stand NASCAR and I have all but one of my teeth). Hear me speak, you hear "pahk the cah." I'm also a Patriots, Celtics and Bruins fan as well. When I was still living in Tamarac, I'd be at the OB/JRS watching the Pats filet the Fins (ah that AFC Championship game!), at The Arena watching the Celts lower the Heat and the Bruins tame the Panthers. And yes, in '98 when the Sox came to JRS (sorry, I have too much respect for Mr. Robbie to call it anything else), I was there for all three games.

 

Olsen for Foulke and Snow? Like you think you'd get Jon Lester, Abe Alvarez or David Murphy? :D

 

(dang..I gotta listen to "Here To Stay" by KoRn more often when I post...brings the best out in me)

Wow, a true troll testimonial. Well done. You have lived up to my expectations of a Red Sox fan, as most of my family are living in New England and are Red Sox fans. I know what to expect. Not to mention the obnoxious Sox fans who show up at Dolphins Stadium when the Sox are in town. They rival New York (Mets and Yankees) fans in their sheer offensiveness and d***a**ery.

Actually, we are supposed to be at the throats of Yankee fans..they are more obnoxious than us genteel Beantowners are. At least we make proper chowder...they put TOMATO JUICE in it!

 

So, I take it, your famly is comprised of "obnoxious" Red Sox fans?

 

At least our team isn't managed by a control freak and a bully...

 

Kind of sad...I-95 and Sunrise would have been a good place for a stadium....

 

What word is d***a**ry?

When will Sox fans realise that they are just as bad as any Yankee/Mets fans, the 'curse' is gone and so is the pity and sympathy. They are no longer the underdog, just another franchise with a huge payroll, and overhyped prospects (note not including Shadez). Everyone had a soft spot for the Sox including myself, but after they won it all the fans (and that particular arrogant bunch of players) left a very sour taste not only in my mouth but many others around the world, meaning they are disliked almost as much as the 'Evil Empire' who I find I prefer now to watch as they aren't trying to be something they are not.

 

And back on topic, K-Mart for closer, Kensing for the 8th and Tank (coming up soon) for the 7th.

Don't lump us in with Yankee fans. We aren't uncouth. I guess your dislike of Boston must go back to, about 1775...?

 

"Overhyped prospects"? Yeah, I wish we still had Hanley, but we have Pedroia on the PawSox, so I'm not too worried.

 

As long as The Evil Empire is ruled by Darth Steinbrenner, they are still hated a hell of a lot more than the Sox

 

And Met fans aren't that bad. I'm married to one.

 

Now back to topic. Like I said..need a closer? Trade for Foulke.

The Marlins need a GOOD closer, not a washed up one that makes alot of cash.

 

And if you represent Red Sox nation, then you are worse then Yankee fans. However you don't because there are good fans like Passion.

i have to say red sox fan are also apart of the evil empire i am supposed to think that the red sox are any different from the yankees they prey on mlb's weak just as much as the yankees they are as much a product of money as the yankees both are successful by raping teams like the marlins . Red sox suck just like the Yankees

I'd like to hit Lotto tonite, too. That's not going to happen.

 

Foulke is still good. We wouldn't have broken The Curse without him. But while he was down, Papelbon settled in the closer role. With the way Papelbon has performed, it's impractical to all of a sudden to put Foulke back in a closer. And supposedly, Foulke isn't too happy now with the Sox. He wants to close, you guys need a closer. Makes sense to me to look at him.

 

Not like I'm suggesting a Willis for Foulke deal here ;)

Calling the Red Sox a part of the Yankees Evil Empire is like saying that both the Marlins and Rays suck on purpose (and for the record, I have never said that..just using a metaphor).

 

We're raping other teams?? Look at the Twins. We gave them a pretty good OFer named Lew Ford for a former Marlin named Hector Carrasco. There's some guy in Houston named Bagwell. Pirates aren't too sad to have a kid named Freddie Sanchez at 2nd. Notice how Bronson Arroyo is doing with the Reds this year? Cub fans LOVE this kid Matt Murton. 10 min from me is The Trop. Over there, the Devil Rays got a southpaw named Casey Fossum. Yeah, I know the Rays got him from the D'Backs, but where did the D'backs get him from? The Sox in the Schilling deal.

 

And who's that wearing #2 for the Marlins? Some kid I fell in love with who played for the SaraSox a few years ago. Hanley something-or-other...name escapes me.

 

So before you lump the Sox in with King George's Bronx Fiefdom, remember that it was Old Baldy Wayne that tore apart the Marlins franchise after the '97 Series. *He* "raped" the Marlins. Maybe if teams like the Marlins and Pirates didn't have fire sales in the off-season and around the trade deadline, maybe they'd be contenders a hell of a lot more often.

One of the most promising young lefties in the game for a washed up closer that lost his job to a rookie and a rapidly declining 1B with like 25 at bats this season?

 

I'll pass.

 

Also, when the Red Sox come to town, let's beat the crap out of them, since Boston's own Michael Smith said we are worse than the Royals.

I'd drive down, but since I have Facial Hair, I may not be able to get in...

I was meaning when the Red Sox come to town, lets hope the Marlins beat them handidly.

 

 

I assume you didn't watch FSN today and last night? Swept four from The Rays....

 

Maybe Beckett (beard), Clement (beard patch), Wakefield and Wells (both goatees) will give Joey Pitbull fits :D

 

Lowell (goatee), Ortiz (beard), Manny (beard, dreadlocks) and Captain Varitek (goatee) should be banging them over the fences at JRS (sorry, I keep forgetting what Sieg Huizenga [as Neil Rogers calls him] is calling it this week)...

Are we still talking about closer in this thread?...If not lets change its name to marlins vs RedSox thread

Big Tex, Clement, Mikey, and Seabass...(still have Mantei?)

 

for a guy that bashes us alot you guys have a nice collection of(recently) former fish

 

 

Mantei signed with the Tigers in the off-season, turned down a chance to play for Italy in the WBC. Tigers just released him from Toledo the other day.

 

Oh, we used to have a guy named Daubach (who is still loved up there), another guy named Tavarez (Jesus) and some one named Russ Morman is now a coach in our system. Some guy named Jim Corsi came home after playing for the Marlins for a few seasons...

 

On the other hand, we were burdened with Carl "The Clubhouse Cancer" Everett. Evidently even Lachemann didn't want him.

 

Not a Marlins basher per se...just not a fan of anal-retentive control freaks/bullies who look like they could be cast members of The Sopranos (I just cannot get the image of "Joey Pitbull" whacking somebody out of my head).

 

FWIW, I lived in Broward for 15 years...
