Oh, I know he does. It's just funny. I'm 36 and I still giggle at the word "poopy". Growing older but not up....
I change poopy diapers every day. The word is less amusing every time....

Yeah, but the first night you sit up waiting for her to come back from a date, you'll be wishing you were still changing diapers.

Anyone want to guess the 5?
Derek Jeter, Jorge Posada, Mariano Rivera, Andy Pettitte, Mike Timlin
Those are the 5 I came up with. Schilling has 3.

Ramiro Mendoza has 5 but he isn't active as of today.

Tigers have sold almost 2million dollars worth of season tickets since the trade.

Brandon Inge will be traded. Willis isnt going anywhere according to Big Dave.

Its nice to have a good team again, and not be made fun of over my avatar that I've had for years. However it sure would be nice to be able to just walk into the game for free in the 4th inning like you could do 4 years ago, or to move from the uppers to home plate and the ushers wanted you to do it.

2003?

No way!

I remember when they first signed Pedro . . . and then Manny . . . more like 2000.

Life is hard for us Boston sports fans, eh?

Was Posada on the 96 team? I thought he only won three - 98, 99, and 00

Just checked baseball-reference.com and apparently he played in 8 games had 14 ABs and batted .071, so unless they gave him a ring for that, I'm not so sure.

I was referring to tickets being hard to get. Since May of 2003 every Red Sox home game has been sold out. From about 1998-2003 you could walk up and get tickets for the early season games but not any more.

You can still buy tickets the day of any game but you will have to wait inline 2+ hours.

Good point. Not sure how they did the rings in 96 but my guess is Posada got one. Mike Lowell says he has a Yankees WS ring from 1998 and he only played in a handfull of games for them.
Every team is different, in 2004 the Red Sox gave a ring to every player who was on the active roster, even it was 1 game. Pitcher Brandon Puffer was called up for one game in 2004, he sat in the bullpen and was sent down the next day, he never got into a game but because he made the active roster they gave him a ring.

Here is an article about it, 1/2 way down
http://redsox.scout.com/2/355225.html

EVERYONE GETS A RING: Brandon Puffer didn’t pitch in a single game for the Red Sox last season, but he’s getting a World Series ring.

If you blinked last September, you missed Puffer’s Red Sox career. He spent one day with the team—Sept. 2—and didn’t get into the game against the Angels. The next day, he was designated for assignment when the Sox added Adam Hyzdu to the roster.

But thanks to his one day on the 25-man roster, Puffer will get a World Series ring. He was shocked when the Sox called him recently and asked him for his ring size.

“It’s an honor, especially [considering] all the years they waited for it,” Puffer told the San Jose Mercury-News from Arizona, where he is trying to make the Giants as a non-roster invitee. “I don’t feel like I contributed much but I’m honored and excited to be a part of it and to get one…I would say they’re being very generous.”

Though Puffer didn’t pitch for the Sox, he did pitch at Fenway Park in 2004. As a member of the Padres June 10, he allowed two runs in three innings of relief in the Sox’ 9-3 win.

Eric Gagne to the Brewers!!!!!!!!!!!!

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

A once almost playoff bound team continues make stupid decisions. Sorry. Brewers are now shoing why they haven't put together a playoff team in some time . . . I loved the 2007 Brewers and pulled for them.

No way that bullpen allows the Brewcrew to win 85 games in 2008.

My prediction.

Hope they land Nathan. Seriously.

But you know it is fate that when the Brewers play the Red Sox this season Gagne will come in and save 2 games and be lights out.

so the Sox only win 104 games instead of 106 . ..

if those two saves put the Brewers over 80 for the season then good for them.
