    Felger and Mazz - Creating False Naratives one day at a time

    QUOTE (John Marzano Olympic Hero @ Feb 11 2010, 07:04 PM) I was listening to Felger rip the Sox for not signing Damon today and I think what he fails to acknowledge is that this isn't a static (non) signing. In December, Damon wanted four years at $13M+ per year. As the winter moved on and...

    Felger and Mazz - Creating False Naratives one day at a time

    I'm kind of sick of the theme of 98.5, and it even extends to that Damon guy at night. "We want to be the bleepin' opposite of homer radio. So we are going to absolutely rip the front offices of the Red Sox and Patriots to utter shreds, no matter what, enjoy kids. "

    Felger and Mazz - Creating False Naratives one day at a time

    QUOTE (BS_SoxFan @ Jan 10 2010, 06:46 PM) Mazz will likely blame the loss on the Red Sox not signing Teixeira. THEY COULD HAVE HAD HIM! :rolling: Good one. Although there's still time for Mazz to go back to that mysterious thing that happened mid-season between Bay and the Red Sox as...

    Protecting the Shields -- The Nick Cafardo Thread

    QUOTE (MyDaughterLovesTomGordon @ Jan 10 2010, 08:52 PM) And of course, there is the small matter that, theoretically, Cafardo could have just asked Ellsbury what he felt about it. Sure, he probably would have espoused platitudes, but even that says something. That a "reporter" would just idly...

    QUOTE (kobayashis bail bonds @ Jan 10 2010, 11:10 AM) And, as predicted, Nicky is back, and back in his own stupefying fashion. The first third of the article talks about Ells moving from center to left, and worrying that he won't respond well to the change because left isn't as exciting a...

    Felger and Mazz - Creating False Naratives one day at a time

    QUOTE (Soxbrained @ Jan 7 2010, 03:07 PM) Yeah. As soon as Tony Mass started going on Texeira again I flipped the station and put on a CD. That stuff does get tiring. Mazz / Felger actually said the Red Sox have spent a lot of $$ this offseason, just not on good players. Mazz then adds that...

    Felger and Mazz - Creating False Naratives one day at a time

    Mazz actually said on the show the other day that the Red Sox farm system has become thin, he was refrencing the "trades in the last year" that the Sox have made which has thinned things further in their system. Victor Martinez - trading away Justin Masterson, Hagadone (certainly worth...

    QUOTE Apropos of nothing 1. Seems like David Wright is no longer a great fit for the Mets (because of Citi Field), but he would be for the Red Sox (because of Fenway); 2. The Yankees stole Javier Vazquez; 3. Brian Cashman is up to something; 4. Whoever gets Xavier Nady gets the best value of...

    For god sakes Nick, get people's age right. Can Gammons come back to the Globe or sumpin'? http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/arti...h_a_tough_call/ And godforbid during the hot-stove season, that a writer at the Boston Globe headline his article with Red Sox discussion. The article is...

    Oh god, Nicky boy. You must be reading this board... :rolling: http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/arti...ties/?page=full Because he decided to state nothing but questions after his opening paragraph and no answers throughout this glorious winter meetings teaser. It's as exciting reading...

    This actually isn't a shot at Nick Cafardo... but I didn't feel like scrolling for an old thread that (I think?) existed about Pete Abraham joining the Globe. I hope he turns out to be the first one to report certain Red Sox stories / signings like he was on top of things when he covered the...

    QUOTE (TheoShmeo @ Nov 29 2009, 10:25 AM) Mocking Cafardo is like shooting fish in a barrel...but how do you write about Scutaro as an option and not at least mention the draft pick compensation issue? Perhaps it's no surprise, but Scutaro himself has more on the ball than our boy Nick...

    Did you know that Mark Teixeira slipped through the Red Sox fingers last winter? Woo, I sure didn't... let's hope the Red Sox do their "due dilligence" this winter, like on this Lackey guy. http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/reds...oing_their.html BTW - 3 years and an option for Beckett...

    Great words of wisdom from Cafardo's "baseball official".... Hideki Matsui, DH, Yankees - One thing the Yankees don't want to do after winning their 27th World Series is get old. That's why they parted with Abreu and Jason Giambi last season and why they might cut ties with the World Series MVP...
