If I was a Astros fan I would be pissed at management.

This is rebuilding, which is exactly what most people on Soxtalk want. If the Sox were to meltdown the organization like Houston has, we would be at the top of this list. How do you not know that?

I'm legitimately n ot sure if I would be or not. I'd have an extra $200 in my pocket from not purchasing the extra innings package and I'd be staring at my 2nd straight #1 overall pick, and my team in a year or two should have enormous amounts of room to make a dent in the free agent market when they're ready.

 

That said, if I had a young son in Houston...I'd imagine he'd be playing a lot of football or basketball and thinking of baseball the way I think of hockey. It's there but why care about it if I'm not going to watch it on th e TV?

The problem with the current set up in MLB is you don't get punished financially if you aren't trying to win. Make the payroll next to zero and even if you don't allow people in to your stadium, you make a ton of money.

 

I wouldn't mind some sort of draft lottery, and a minimum payroll, although the players won't go for a minimum payroll because that will most likely lead to a maximum payroll.

I know that would never happen with the Sox, you can get away with that in Houston not here. How do you not know that?

Seriously, read up on baseball finance and economics. The most profitable teams in baseball are the ones who are the lowest payrolled. That is what happens when you sell off all of your salaried players.

Oh boy. Matt Harvey to the DL with a torn UCL.

Man, that f***ing sucks.

Hate to see that big blow for Mets.

Hey knight, really glad I didn't make that trade

It sucks, but I'm not gonna lose any money over it, so... ehhh.

If they decide he doesn't need surgery, what do you do with him? A bit of a gamble, but at least it's the seventh round

Tenth round.

 

No idea.

How does it feel to be an Astros fan? You simply AREN’T an Astros fan. I don’t know a single Astros watcher and I’ve lived in Houston for 27 years. They’re that bad. I have no clue who goes to those games but it has to be lower than the Dynamo.

Man, that f***ing sucks.

 

 

This could really hurt the Mets playoff chances....oh wait..

This could really hurt the Sox draft pick chances

Maybe they will blow things up now and trade Wright to us!

 

This is awesome

ARod picks up a nice $6 million bonus if he hits 10 more homers this season.

Pirates pick up Marlon Byrd and John Buck from the Mets.

I don't think there's a player in the league not named Cabrera that can match a Soriano hot streak. He can carry a team for weeks. It's the other 4-5 months that's the problem.
