Vitters batting .408 after going 4-5 today. Not bad.

Do you really think that fans are just going to quit loving a team because it switched leagues? If they do, they're fair-weather at best. While the Astros do have history, and I know I would be quite angry were this happening to the Cubs, it's not the end of the world. As far as rivalries are concerned, they are walking into a ready-made one with the Rangers, one I would imagine is capable of holding far more local meaning and implications than anything they would experience in the NL Central. While it certainly is distasteful, even insinuating it is "market annihilation" is ridiculous. Meanwhile, while a 15/15 split isn't imperative for MLB, it is extremely productive as it will likely lead to an extra wild card slot per league, which in my opinion is a huge help for the game.

If only we could be e-mailed important updates without actually having to trudge through 40 pages of random stats and N+G and CC's foreplay.

Yes. It would be more worthwhile if I bothered to post trite and asinine drivel at a rate of roughly 3,244 posts a year. Enough. THEO FN EPSTEIN. Well you have an excellent point. ftfy

Hahaha! Yea that was one of the more amusing moments of this thread so far.
-
Would you two just make out already.
-
I believe you mean "lamestream", good sir.
-
Probably should have figured this is how the thread would end up.
-
I feel like Boston reporters are secretly some of the dumber posters on here.
-
Hahaha wow CC sure is desperate for attention these days

It would be way worse for the Red Sox. All Ricketts has to do is say "look, they wanted the moon and I wouldn't give it to them" and then go and hire another perfectly fine candidate. The Red Sox are stuck with a presumably lame duck GM who hates them, a frustrated future GM who just got Conan O'Brien'd and a PR disaster the likes of which we haven't seen in quite some time.
-
Also, Ricketts is a ridiculously successful businessman who by now probably knows his baseball. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the dude knows his way around a negotiation. It'll be fine.

Oooooooooooh written in the dark, a million miles awayyyyyyyy

Thanks, I was getting really confused.
-
Has freaking nothing leaked today?

Theogasm

Interesting to see Ricketts is handling it and not Bush.
-
Trolling? Just stating my feelings is all. That's what makes you such a consummate professional.

I just don't see the need on three theo threads when they are all basically the same thing. I thought NSBB was all about less threads. Just an observation that's all. This thread is not like the other threads. This is a silly thread. We aren't posting articles or having serious discussion here. Than I see you in a lot of silly threads. *Then

CC for unexpected Troll of the Year

Lake now batting .308

I'm assuming the switch has to happen for 2013. If they did it this season wouldn't they have to redo the 2012 schedule (is there any precedent for something like this?)?
-
THAT is the moment when we can start celebrating. Agreed. I'm not getting my hopes up yet until the process goes a littler farther. For the love of [expletive]. And don't forget even after Cherington is named GM, Theo can still come back and become the new, new GM and demote him. Endless possibly here folks. I'm assuming this is a joke as Theo is presumably not Jay Leno.

my favorite part is how he cheerfully says "you couldn't be more wrong." i could listen to him talk about OPS all day i think Wow the old guard really is coming out.

Jesus [expletive] Christ. ... I'm going to give this man so many babies. I had to go back and read some of the Gary Hughes interview after listening to this. Holy [expletive] you're alive.
