Anon, I hear...Thanks, everyone, for your comments.<br /><br />Anon, I hear your point on Theo - he should have gotten a lot more criticism for making so many so-called low-risk, high reward deals. (Epstein isn't responsible for the Sox not paying Teixeira enough, but he is the guy who signed Smoltz and Penny.)<br /><br />But even then, that still doesn't make Boston's franchise as a whole overrated. Not to mention most of the rest of the list having nothing to do with being overrated,either.Lisa Swanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04909220094978054349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624254435992330014.post-43658554960183866712009-11-28T12:49:37.127-05:002009-11-28T12:49:37.127-05:00I kind of see where they're coming from becaus...I kind of see where they're coming from because Theo is NEVER questioned. The John Smoltz signing was pretty terrible (a 42-year old coming off of injuries and surgery who'd been working out of the bullpen moving to the starting rotation in the AL East for a serious contender?!) but they're still playing the "wellllll it was low-risk high-reward!!!" card. Though, everything you said is right; the Red Sox aren't overrated just because they "can't win" without Manny.<br /><br />How the heck are the Knicks, Indians, and Mets overrated, especially now? They aren't very good franchises but it's not like anyone is calling them good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624254435992330014.post-52712714954337407072009-11-28T09:58:12.055-05:002009-11-28T09:58:12.055-05:00I agree with the last post... when was the last ti...I agree with the last post... when was the last time the Lions did ANYTHING great? They are mediocre at best, which may qualify them for "underrated." Sure, Manny leaving was a blow, but as stated, it was too recent to decide whether or not the Sox are an army of one. Blogs interest me; recently I saw a political cartoon explaining it best: "never before in history have so many people had so little to say that was heard by so few."Petehttp://www.twitter.com/bloodninjaznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624254435992330014.post-45278322346219273262009-11-27T23:02:24.023-05:002009-11-27T23:02:24.023-05:00How does this guy define Overrated?
Who has said ...How does this guy define Overrated?<br /><br />Who has said in the last 40 Years that the Lions were great?<br /><br />Where is it written that When you look up great NBA Franchises in the encyclopedia you see the Logo of the LA Clippers?<br /><br />As far as "Where's Kernan" a good place for him to right about sports is, I would say (Kayes, Mali) I would say that is the perfect place with his intellect should write about Sports.nutballgazettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15953156266049373818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624254435992330014.post-9229344180037875162009-11-27T21:16:09.875-05:002009-11-27T21:16:09.875-05:00I've said more than once, "Not all Yankee...I've said more than once, "Not all Yankee fans are scum." <a href="http://redsoxsonoma.blogspot.com/2008/12/my-father-is-yankee-fan.html" rel="nofollow">My father is a Yankee fan</a>, and one of my friends with whom I play in two bands is a Yankee fan.

I am convinced that some writers either just love to write dumb stuff because they have nothing better to do, or just want to stir up BS (see Shaughnessy, Dan). Column was totally worthless, and part of the reason I don't bother reading the NYC papers anymore.BklynSoxFanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17512844600688808055noreply@blogger.com
