October 29, 200718 yr Author He's probably having dinner with Loria tomorrow night. Or a sleepover. I heard they were gonna watch some scary movies underneath the covers.
October 29, 200718 yr Author Posada's gonna be a little late though. His agent still needs to iron out that final option year.
October 29, 200718 yr The Rangers are very happy right now. They'll get one of the CFs in free agency cause of this.
October 29, 200718 yr Guys, I was at the supermarket earlier today and I bumped into Admin Beinfest. All the stuff in his briefcase spilled all over the floor. He managed to pick up everything before I could get a good look, but as he walked away I noticed he forgot this paper: He also left behind some plane tickets to Portland and Las Vegas. :blink:

October 29, 200718 yr Buster Olney put it best: "A-Rod putting himself above game" Alex Rodriguez couldn't be at the World Series to receive an award from Hank Aaron -- a family commitment was the stated reason -- but he managed to upstage Game 4, with the help of agent Scott Boras, who announced in the early innings that his client is opting out of his contract. ... Somebody will buy into A-Rod, of course. He's an extraordinary player. The cost will be hundreds of millions, and the heart and soul, of his next franchise.
October 29, 200718 yr Boras and the Red Sox will make magic again. A-Rod will be there soon. But, I could totally see him as a Giant as well.

October 29, 200718 yr If he goes to the Sox's he a fu*king joke... Have some self respect, the fans and the players dont like you there.... But knowing 99.9% of red sox nation, they will enbrace him and put up a statue of him in the front lawn....

They want Mike Lowell back.

If you're so upset with A-Rod for making the announcement, Buster Olney, how about you refrain from commenting on it and not give him the attention he wants? Big f***ing deal. If the commissioner had any balls, he'd make restrictions on personnel announcements for a week or so following the World Series. But baseball has been a case of the inmates running the prison for a long time now, so why should anyone care or blame the players for taking advantage of it? I say more power to A-Rod.
October 29, 200718 yr Stun everyone and go sign with a struggling team at a big discount. :lol That would be so awesome.
October 29, 200718 yr Boras and the Red Sox will make magic again. A-Rod will be there soon. No he won't.
October 29, 200718 yr Would there be anything more perfect than him ending up in Toronto? I mean, seriously?
October 29, 200718 yr Would there be anything more perfect than him ending up in Toronto? I mean, seriously? Tampa Bay. Or Kansas City.
October 29, 200718 yr Would there be anything more perfect than him ending up in Toronto? I mean, seriously? Toronto has the advantage of their money being worth more than the other 29 teams' money. :|
