NEW YORK (AP) Alex Rodriguez has opted out of contract with New York Yankees, agent Scott Boras says.

Thank God,

Much better for the Rangers.

Much better for the Yankees.

Maybe Boston will take him :P

I sure as hell hope we don't. :huh:

I take it you are a Boston fan.

Congratulations Boston 2007 MLB World Champions!

That is number 7 if I remember correctly.

Yeah, I sort of feel guilty because I'm only 29 and we've won 2 in my lifetime. There were generations that never saw one title. It feels good whenever you're champions, but this one isn't quite as sweet as 2004. That one was a wierd combo of disbelief, relief, and joy. The 1st Sunbelt football title, the New Orleans Bowl win in '02, and last years SBC tourney title run are the only things I could put on the same level.

Ditto bro...I've talked to people in Boston on my trips up there that talk about their family members that came and went in that 86 years...and how they almost felt guilty after the 2004 win.

This time was fun, but not the whirlwind of last time. 2004 was an amazing feeling. Still fun, though.

Surely, the Red Sox front office realize that A-Rod would not be a good fit with what works for them.

Another plus? I'm sure there's still some overstocked '04 merchandise that'll be unloaded because of this win. I might be able to pick up some deals for some keepsakes. :D

I don't think there is any possible way Theo wants him...I think he's in touch enough with the Boston fan and no one up here wants him anywhere near Fenway on a regular basis. Look for the Cubbies to be a pretty big player.

Say what you will about Theo...I think this is what separates him from other GM's. At least so far, he's had a pretty good balance of what the Boston fan wants and putting together good teams.

Alex would definitely hurt the chemistry of the Boston clubhouse. And quite honestly, Theo doesn't make moves that screw up that chemistry. They've got the best team chemistry in baseball, and it transfers (like it or not) to winning.

2 Titles in 4 years. Are the Red Sox in the 21st century going to be ldominant ike the Yankees were during the 20th century?!?

We can only hope so.

And Norm made a great point...there is no way that the Red Sox would bring in someone who would command more money than Manny and Papi the year after they win the World Series.

I don't think Boston messes with this team too much in the off-season...re-sign Mike Lowell is priority number one...after that, maybe look for a utility infielder to plug in for Lugo when he goes into one of his slumps

      Honest tactical question here…

      Morris has his scheme and identity. I think its a big reason we've had so much offensive success the last two year and I don't want him to change it. BUTTTTTTTT I do think he needs to improve his situational awareness and I'll give 3 examples... 1. Late in the FAU game we broke the 34 yard run to get to the FAU 5 with 1:43 left...at this point the clock is on our side and we should run it down and force FAU to burn their timeouts. But instead, Morris has us run to the line and snap the ball before any time can run after they reset the chains. Luckily, FAU stuffed us and eventually burned their timeouts and we scored with 58 seconds left. But imagine if we scored after the big run and gave FAU the ball back with 1:40 and 2 timeouts? Who would feel good about our chances stopping them then??? 2. Our defense shocks everyone and forces Tulane to punt on their first drive. Tulane then executes a great punt and downs it at the 6. We then come out and throw a pass for -1 yards, no huddle and quickly throw an incomplete pass, and on 3rd down its another incomplete pass. So, we're forced to punt the ball from our own 5 yard line after only having the ball for about 25 seconds. Evans has a measly 39 yard punt and 7 plays later Tulane scores a TD. IMO, its a prime example of Morris not understanding the situation and putting his defense right back on the field in a tough spot. Instead of quickly snapping after the -1 yard loss, we should have slowed down and made sure we called the best play to get us a first down. 3. And like others have said, it PISSES me off he refuses to run QB sneaks under center when we need less than a yard. You can make the case its a big reason we lost to Navy last year and it cost us this year against Army. I'd much rather Chandler Morris fall forward for a foot than snap it back 5 yards and hand it to our 5th string RB. There are other teams like us that strictly run shotgun, but are still able to lineup under center and fall forward. The only reason we don't is Coach Morris' ego.

      Hes 73 and will not coach forever... That said, if you can bring him in and have him coach just a couple seasons to get the program on the right track before retiring and handing it off to someone he has trained as his replacement.
