I hope the Red Sox land Lackey so we can tune him up 16 times a year….Hurry Boston, do not let this gou slip through your fingers the way others have.
While your at it how about looking at Pavano…he’s ready for a big comeback.
Hey Yankee fan – You still talking crap about Boston or some other team ? Betty Ford wants you to come in for an evaluation. Go to the store and buy something for your Fantasy league Team will you. And take Bud the Slug with you. You may have money to buy all those rings you bought – but you haven’t seem to bought any class.
If you want to impress us, try winning spending the same as others.
No wonder the rest of the League roots against your richass snobs.
I’m talking about Boston alright. I want them to buy Lacky just as I said and when you get tired of crying about the Yankee payroll come back to us with some relevent thoughts.
P.S. I tried spending like the others but instead of lining my own pockets I put it all on the field.
