Hey Michael!

->  -> to MLB - your pitcher looks pretty good, but
->  HN> He was top notch in Japan before Tommy John Surgery.
->  HN> Seattle took a chance on him last season and he
->  HN> really started to get into a good groove by 
->  HN> the last quarter of the season. I'm glad they
->  HN> resigned him!
-> 
-> Let's see what happens. I hope he does well.
->
Hopefully!!
 
->  ->  HN> Kawasaki (who speaks five languages...but often
->  ->  HN> uses all five in the same sentence) so he does
->  ->  HN> have some functionality.
->  -> you hardly need another good-field no-hit shortstop.
->  HN> I know...but I LIKED him!
-> 
-> Like it or not, likability isn't high on the list - as
-> the Red Sox have shown, it is not negligible, but there
-> are other characteristics that are more important, such
-> as the ability to hit over .200.

Yeah, I know, and they did not call me 
to ask my advice on whether to keep him
or not..and even I would have had to admit
that the room on the 40 man roster is more
valuable without him remaining...but I STILL
like him!  We have room in the budget now
that Ichiro is gone and we may be looking
at the free agent market (which is pretty
thin this year they say) or making a trade
for a big bat.
 
->  -> ML> A year too late, but a step in the right direction. Too bad the 
->  > damage
->  -> ML> has been done; it'll take all of those three years to fix it.
->  HN> Something has to be done about the
->  HN> lack of clubhouse chemistry as well.
-> 
-> I haven't seen a convincing explanation of the Gotterdammerung
-> of 2011, which was almost miraculous in its horridness. The
-> Red Sox have had their share of seasons with good synergies,
-> and that year seemed to pay for the last several, with interest.
-> And we continue to pay: we have this crazy, mixed up transition
-> team; the Boston fans used to be stoic and resigned like the Cubs
-> fans, but now they're a slavering bunch of we want it all and we
-> want it nows, not unlike Yankees fans.
-> 
All TOO much like Yankee fans when they come
to Safeco! Our three most problem ladened teams
are in order Yankee's, Red Sox, and Toronto.

You know that big scoreboard that is out
in Center Field above the Bleachers? Well
it's now going to be a High Definition 
LED scoreboard...and it's going to be
the biggest in Baseball..in all sports
only the Dallas football team will have
a bigger one. 

chat with you soon!
