Cowboy up! Red Sox have Foulke as new closer!!
breaking news now on espn.com :evilgrin: :bounce:
Like I said last night, I'm brnging boatloads of good karma to the Red Sox Nation. Now I would keep Nomar and try to either get Tajada or re up with Walker. Oh, and ask Maddux if he wants another shot at beating the evil empire...

1. The most improved and best pitching staff in 2004
will most likely be the Phillies with the addition of Wagner, Worrel and Milton and most likely Millwood. The AL has to rid itself of the sissy Designated Hitter rule. If pitchers can throw at the head of an opponent, why can't they stand in the batter's box? And while we are at it, lets get rid of domed stadiums, astro turf and increase the number of weekday day games and do away with interleague contests. Thanks for the baseball thread. Spring training is just around the corner.

3. I'm no fan of the DH.
However, the statistics don't bear out the criticism regarding hit by pitches. The stats are quite equal in both leagues.

4. Will fans everywhere get their wish?
Roger Clemens in an NL uniform, batting every time he pitches?

6. Foulke is good and all
But he gives up a ton of flyballs. He won't be as good as he was in Oakland but he'll be better than anyone Boston used last year.

I'll submit that by the end of this contract he will not be much loved in Boston.

7. May Boston rot it the same pit of Hell...
...that houses the MFNYY. It's so fun to rape small market teams of their top talent, isn't it? :mad:

8. I hear you Oaktowngrrl
I'm in Seattle hoping that we'll be able to take Tejada of your hands shortly.

Who's going to close for the A's now? Are you guys going after Urbina?
