Will it be Rocket Launch or Rocket Failure?
Clemens vs. Contreras
Boston won't deal Manny unless they're sure they can get a good bat to protect Ortiz.
I agree..I would MUCH rather listen to my local guys,Hawk and DJ(you can put it on the board..YESSSS!!!) GO SOX!!!!
I am normally inclined to root for th A.L. team when I dont have a horse in the race. But if Clemens hits Everett square between the eyes with a 94 mile per hour heater I will pull for the stro's
Usually I can't get ESPN radio at home. Think I'll try fiddling with the aerial - with this rain maybe I can catch a distant signal.
Astros are from a Bush state -- The Sox went for Kerry.
Astros have every player carry his own weight -- The Sox use the "social welfare" clause (the DH).
Houston aligns with Senators Cornyn and Hutchison -- The Sox have Obama and Durbin.
Need I say more?
Real Freepers root for Houston. I can't see any other option. :^)
Two outs.
Also, aren't there more Texans here on FR than any other state?
Turned out that Dan Duquette was the one in the twilight of his career.
That had me LMAO!! Even as a die-hard Sox fan, I would like to see that too lol
Then you are in for a rude wake up call!
AARRGGHHHH!!!
CWS HOME RUN

Aww, crud. Homer for the Sox.
Dye slammed a pitch on the outside corner.
HR ChiSox! Jermaine Dye was a great pickup for them.
I was begging for the Indians to pick up Clemens when he left Boston. As I recall, the Tribe offered 7M per season, and Clemens wanted 8M. Had the Indians gotten The Rocket in '97, I firmly believe they would not have come up short in the WS that year. The Indians pitching staff that postseason was held together with glue and matchsticks. Jaret Wright (in his rookie year) was the ace of the staff in the postseason that year.
Two things I cannot forgive former Indians owner Dick Jacobs for are not signing Clemens in '97, and not locking up Manny Ramirez to a long term deal long before his contract with Cleveland was up. It was clearly obvious that Manny was a future HOF'er years before he came to Boston.
