    That's why they did it - so it wouldn't affect the luxury tax.

    Yeah, I am sure its been in place since he was traded. I bet the $6 mil signing bonus goes towards this years payroll though, no?

    Probably, but that stuff doesn't affect the payroll as MLB sees it for luxury tax purposes right? I think I read that the way MLB determines a payroll from a luxury tax standpoint, or anything like that isn't by allotting the money however the teams break it up, but by taking the total amount of their contract and just dividing by the length of years. I think.

    Ahh, yeah, you're right. That makes sense. since his contract kicks in next year, it doesn't matter for this year . Good call.

    Yeah, pretty sure JP's got it right. Pretty smart if you ask me. They were just talking on EEI about locking up guys to smaller contracts (Buchholz, Lester, Youk, Pedroia). Though Adrian is the exception to this rule, I still think Theo does a fantastic job with this club. It pains me to say it, but they blew it a few years ago by not getting Texeira. This makes up for it. People will say shit about the big payroll, but the bottom line is that without drafting well and developing players well, we wouldn't have had the opportunity to even get Adrian this offseason.

    I was yelling at the screen most of the game. Fun times. Crawford is disgusting.

    BEANTOWN will always be a sports town, it's something about the city of Boston that CAN NOT be avoided.

    Amazing that with the pathetic start to the Sox season, they're still only 5 out of first. Yanks haven't played that much better actually.

    You can confused all you want. We beat your ass last weekend and we'll do it time and again this season. 9-5 is not that good.

    By the way, it's absolutely pathetic they can't clean up all the trash in the stadium. No, I'm not talking about the fans. I mean all those wrappers and shit flying around the stadium. That's a disgrace that they spent so much to built that gaudy stadium and can't keep the field clean. Then again, it wouldn't be New York if there wasn't shit and trash everywhere.

    Now, now there's trash in every major city and stadium it's not only in NYC. Have you ever been up to Canada, Toronto and what was Skydome (I don't know what they call it now) that place and city is spotless.

    The 11:05 AM start was designed so that folks could see the Sox game, then head into Kenmore Sq. and catch the lead runners heading for home in the Marathon around 2PM.

    Today with Daisuke on the hill, folks will be able to leave Fenway after the game and see that one dude who is always shown crawling across the finish line live on the 6PM newscast heading thru Kenmore.
    This weekend we rock Portland

    It'll be your concern too when that neanderthal Brett Gardner slips on a hot dog wrapper and blows his ACL. Seriously, that guy looks like an extra from 2001: A Space Odyssey.

    oh lord... someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed

    if that happens it would suck ...but nothing i can do about it

    the few trips i make to the stadium every year ..i sit in a suite so the trash isn't a factor in my stadium life
