Fishsmith....I don't hear you offering up any predictions and/or answers to my thread as to how the Sox made any improvements in the off-season? As wrong as I may have been in 04'.....you guys were all going to the World Series last year and were positive the Sox were going to make the playoffs......what happened? I will tell you this Fishsmith......I make my calls and right or wrong, I stand behind them and take the heat when it goes bad and I admit when I was wrong.....how many others do the same? They always seem to shrink out of sight! Its all fun and as always.....I hope I am wrong! I prefer Turkey but if the Sox win the World Series, crow will do! However I don't think its on the menu this season!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Strike King....Dice-K is costing the Sox in excess of $20,000,000.00 per season over 5 years! We paid the Japanese team over $50,000,000.00 just for the rights to him and then we paid Dice-K over $10,000,000.00 per season for 5 years......$20,000,000.00 dollars per season!

I would rather have paid David Wells 13-14 mil to come back.....he could still win 14 games!

And Fishsmith.....when I am down on the Pats its due to the fact that I know they are better than they are playing at the time.....such as last season when they were s#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g air, I was whining......but I was proven correct when they stepped it up and went to the Playoffs! This Sox team I do not believe to be better than an overpaid sub-500 team! You got Big Poppy and then......what?

Here's my prediction for the Sox = World Champs '07 same for the Pats (but in '08) .

I do appreciate your honesty and calling them like you see them, but if the Yankee's took dice-k, why do I think we'd hear "Sox don't spend the $$"

Dice-K isn't a 100 million dollar man, I think he make 8mill a year, which in todays market is a bargin, the big $$ spent on him was to get into the japenese market, and that money will come back 10 fold. You gotta spend $$ to make make $$, that was all business.

JD Drew is a question mark, but hey I love our home teams and instead of hammering them, I just root for em.

I'm off to fill some easter baskets full of fishing stuff.

Go Red Sox!!!
