Pisscubes/Molester's Official MLB Thread NOW WITH '11!

[Zap Rowsdower]

On an annual salary basis, this is the stupidest signing of the offseason. No one else seemed interested in him, yet they give him $14m a year.

In unsurprising news likely to inflame Geoffcubes, the Red Sox are basically a Bravo TV show

Any chances this ownership group gets run out of town within the next 5 years? The more that this information becomes open to the public, the more people fucking hate the Red Sox ownership. I really hope they move their business ventures elsewhere, and hope that a new group that actually cares about baseball and winning more than just public image can take over.

I don't really think ownership CAN get run out of town in a place like Boston. Even when the Pink Hats are gone, they still have the die-hards and Boston is, at its heart, a baseball town. They have their deals with ACE Tickets and Stubhub so they can legally scalp as many tickets as they want and still claim that Fenway is "sold out" everynight.

In short, they're making money hand over fist and until that changes, they won't be selling. And the idea that fans are going to boycott the Sox is just too outlandish.

Yeah, owners aren't the same a coaches. If they're making a profit they aren't going anywhere. Take that dead old Lich King Al Davis. That fucking moron needed to get the fuck out of Oakland a million years ago, but he was making too much money selling Raiders' face paint and Road Warrior spikes.

Even in the UK they're shitting on the FSG. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/footba ... mbols.html

To be fair, there were a LOT of girls who thought Pedroia was cute when he first joined the team. Even though he was 24 and bald, and 5' 6".

Oh, to get off the path here, I saw in the Boston Globe that it was advertising a "Winter Light Spectacular" as part of the off-season Fenway tours. Sounded like something my girlfriend would like, and believe it or not I had never toured Fenway so we went.

The "Winter Light Spectacular" was about 8 different shapes made out of shitty christmas lights on the green monster that flashed on and off to songs like "Gangman Style". For 8 minutes.

Pretty sure we paid extra for that piece of shit show.

Total PR move, but Pedro has been hired as an assistant to the GM for the Boston Red Sox.

upton/upton/heyward is a fucking hell of an outfield. wanted to keep prado, but getting rid of 1 more year of prado and keeping simmons is probably best in the long-run.

who the hell is chris johnson because i really have no idea

[Gunther]

delmon young has the most amazing contract

The deal for the AL championship series MVP, announced Tuesday, calls for him to get on a scale on six occasions to be chosen by the team. He'll receive $100,000 each time he makes weight, according to details obtained by The Associated Press. The first three times, he must be 230 pounds or less, and the second three, 235 pounds or less.

rest in peace, Stan
