I think I'm more offended by that as a Red Sox fan than any Yankee fan would be. Isn't he kind of dead to them?I didn’t see this anywhere in a thread, but ARod in a Red Sox uniform just looks WEIRD.
You mean that hasn’t been him batting leadoff during the playoffs?I didn’t see this anywhere in a thread, but ARod in a Red Sox uniform just looks WEIRD.
Didn't the Sox play bad enough yesterday for you to not pile on this morning?I didn’t see this anywhere in a thread, but ARod in a Red Sox uniform just looks WEIRD.
Now you know how we feel.I didn`t like seeing that asshole in a Red Sox uniform.
While watching this was unpleasant, the alternative was unthinkable. It would have been awful losing to the Yankees and then watching Papi in pinstripes would have been devastating. At least this unpleasantness was over quickly.I saw this live and was disturbed. If the Yankees has won would Papi had to have donned pinstripes? I’m not sure I could have survived that.
Steinbrenner wanted him, Theo just beat him thereHow would Ortiz have been a Yankee?
Do you have a citation for this? Or are you just speculating?Steinbrenner wanted him, Theo just beat him there
Actually this is what I heard too, sorry my memory was clouded in the detailsThe story I have heard is Steinbrenner wanted him and front office did not, so no offer was made.
Ortiz signed so late that I think there’s little chance the story is “Theo beat them to him”. Supposedly, Pedro was part of talking Sox into taking a shot on Ortiz.
I read/heard the same somewhere. But Cashman says it never happened...The story I have heard is Steinbrenner wanted him and front office did not, so no offer was made.

He won you a World Series, pipe down.Now you know how we feel.
You realize you just made him feel worse, right?He won you a World Series, pipe down.
On the plus side, that means we haven't really seen A-Rod in a Sox uniform. So our eyes may someday heal.One more reason not to like the red uniforms....
Yeah, honestly, he's not as godawful as one would expect.Tell you what, I can stomach ARod more as an announcer/analyst than I could as a player.
Quite a change in attitude here on SOSH now compared to the offseason before 2004, when most here were praying the Red Sox would trade Manny, Nomar, and Jon Lester for A-Rod and Magglio Ordonez.
The widespread lust for A-Rod here at that time was disgusting. Good thing people have come to their senses.
I’ll be more specific. You don’t affect Pedro and Ortiz. They affect you. Also, Papi and ARod act like lifetime buddies on the Fox pre and post game shows. The one thing is ARod’s steroids. We did not need that tainting the three championships.It was also deserved? Lets be honest, we have no idea how his personality would have affected that clubhouse. Looking back, sure, he seemed to be a bit of an odd guy and I don't know if his weirdness would have affected guys like Ortiz, Pedro, etc....
