Oh shut the [expletive] up Jonny Gomes

Oh shut the [expletive] up Jonny Gomes

 

He almost made me forget that Lackey sounded completely gone in his interview.

[CubInOK]

John Lackey sounds like Bill Cosby.

 

Jonny Gomes was talking all sorts of confusing noise and hate about sabermetrics.

[SouthSideRyan]

Ortiz had the best world series ever, right

The best part is that under the new CBA, all the free agents are now fair game, right? No need to wait for filing or anything. The offseason is finally about to begin.

GET LUCCHINO OFF OF MY SCREEN

[Brian]

We shoulda hired Cherington.

[UMFan83]

If Boston was going to go 1-1 in championship rounds this year I'm glad it went the way it did.

[SouthSideRyan]

Why would any of you watch the postgame? The Red Sox are still awful awful people, they did their job, no need to watch them celebrate. Once they stopped showing sad Mike Matheny I flipped to Conan Edited October 31, 2013 by SouthSideRyan

How long do teams have to make qualifying offers to their own FA? Wouldn't FA start after that deadline?

If I'm reading it right, they have five days from tonight.

Can we sign Kaz Uehara

So that's really when it starts? Even if you can technically sign guys now teams are going to wait to see who gets QO's and who doesn't, I'd imagine.

[Guest]

I'm not sure if this is accurate, but I pulled these dates from elsewhere:

 

November 4: Last day to make the Qualifying Offer

 

November 5: Free agents eligible to sign with teams

 

November 11: Last day for players to accept Qualifying Offer

 

December 2: Non-tender deadline

 

December 9-12: Winter Meetings

I would rather watch the Cardinals celebrate than watch Conan.

ellsbury should put on a cubs hat now, just to troll.

This is correct and I did the exact same thing.

[Guest]

yeah, i feel dirty about this whole experience.

[Guest]

I do not get the hate at all. Pedroia, Ortiz, Ellsbury, Pedroia, etc. are [expletive] bosses...did I mention Pedroia? Because dude is hilarious. And really [expletive] good at baseball.

 

I definitely hated Beckett, but he's gone.

My hate for the Cards and their fans is orders of magnitude more intense than any distaste I have for Boston. Absolutely no conflict in my mind about this.

[TruffleShuffle]
