All in all I think the Sox made a poor move, while the Yanks dropped a rag armed 66 year old Cuban for one of the league's best pitchers...pass the calzone Costanza, Big Stein one-upped them again.
I was referring to the fact that he'll be able to understand Posada without someone translating Posadish into English.WildHoneyAlways said:
Loiaza didn't need a translator here.
Now the last thing Sox ownership didn't consider was the kids. If you ask Red Sox fans age 12 and under who their favorite player is (before this weekend of course) 19 out of 20 have the same one word answer: "Nomar". These kids don't know or care about million dollar salaries, they just loved Nomar and many are very disillusioned this morning.
Headache in a Suitcase said:this is a case of theo epstein being so obsessed with beating that yankees that he would attempt to screw his two best players, manny & nomar... manny is a space cadet and doesn't really care... nomar cared, and i don't blame him. the red sox didn't get the best end of this deal, but it was a deal that they had to make.
just imagine this...
game 7... fenway... cubs vs. red sox... one curse has to end... nomar smacks a double off the monster to score the go-ahead run in the top of the 9th... cubs go on to win the series... red sox fans collectively jump into the charles river.
