Roberts to BoSox?

Why not? They're solid in the outfield, including Kotsay and Baldelli, but don't really have the late inning pinch-runner that Roberts typified for them in the key moment of their comeback against the Yankees in '04. Kotsay will see time at first, Big Papi and Kotsay are injury prone -- all it would take is a prolonged injury or slump on Ellsbury's part to mess things up a bit. Roberts is beloved in Boston and they could afford to split the 6.5 with us to have the insurance policy. It just seems like one of the very few destinations we could ship Dave off to...

Nah.
I follow the Sox as well, and I’m fairly sure that if Jed Lowrie wins the starting SS job, Julio Lugo could be used as the late inning PR. Or vice versa.

And Baldelli is one of the fastest white guys around...
…assuming he’s not too tired to pinch-run late in the game. Sure hope he’s gonna be OK.

yes please
we’ll give them roberts and a low level prospect, for some pop…. i’m talking about a 2 liter bottle of soda,
You’re not getting pop for Roberts. I would settle for poop.

Are you crazy? The soda has waaay more upside. They dont do that trade- no way.

I’ll be there on 2/11 and 2/12 for work. My employer put in in the Palazzo. I have no idea if it is a good hotel or not.
In any case, an overnight stay is not enough time for me to get in any serious trouble.

I looked up the Palazzo up a few weeks ago, and it seems that it is connected to the Venetian. I have heard a lot of good things about the Venetian…

The Venetian and the Palazzo are basically the same hotel. They’re owned by the same dude even though they’re “technically” two different resorts. I tend to stay there when I go (mostly because they always give me free rooms).

It’s an extremely nice hotel. The rooms are pretty massive.

Thanks for the info
Awesome! I’ll have plenty of room to sleep off my hangover.

Not Shopped...

Sorry , aint got no skillz. This is Red Rock Canyon , west of Vegas – either west on the 216 to Charleston/left , or just west on Charleston from anywhere. Take you less than half an hour to get there. About two inches to the left of where the two pics seamfully join you can go hiking back in the rocks. Moderate.
The smidge of road you see is part of a loop that goes in and wanders around to the right and back onto Charleston.

Kind of nice when there's weather.
This is more to the right – er , southwest of the canyon – but the whole place is ringed with this kind of topography. It’s really worth the drive.

find a roberto’s and have a bean and cheese burrito. and go to Nothing Bundt Cakes and have an incredible bundt cake.
see the blue man group. srsly. also the shark tank at mandalay bay.
shout things on the street to embarrass the guys that aggressively hand you flyers for escort services in front of your wife. i recommend, “no pornography and drugs for me, please!”

what happened to “what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas??” Isn’t your wife supposed to allow you to indulge??

good work on the roberto’s, I grew up there and my friend has the roberto’s guy tatooed on his calf. i always get the chile relleno burrito. go to Ellis Island, kitty-corner from the hard rock, they brew their own beer and its $1 for a pint.. plus good drunken karaoke and cheap blackjack and craps, if we go anywhere near the strip this is where we go. do see the blue man group and don’t see zumanity.
Last time I was in Vegas, I ordered a scotch and watched as they poured me a drink from a bottle of Canadian Whiskey with a duck on it.
I'm spent, just can't rosterbate anymore.
nice
i’m actually going to vegas next weekend for the first time as well for a massive ultimate frisbee tournament

My folks just got back from seeing both Ka and Love. They had a great time at both, but I think Ka was marginally better.
I'm missing Omar and all his "Dreamy-ness".

I saw O and thought it was really great. I’m planning on seeing Ka the very next time I get a shred of a chance.

yeah me too
the title could use some better phrasing
I thought it was Brian Roberts though...
couldn’t figure out where they were going to play him.
Fairley odd parent to Wendell
No chance
Roberts is not in demand or desired by any of the 29 other teams. He can’t hit, can’t field, and is too expensive of a rent-a-player. We’d have to eat most of his salary.

HEY YOU GUYS ROBERTS WON THE SUPER BOWL FOR THE RED SOX BY STEALING A GOAL IN TH ETHIRD SET WHILE DRAWING A FOULOF COURSE THEY WANT HIM BACK HES A HEROOOOOOOOOO!
My Dave Righetti is better than your Dave Righetti.
I see no reason
I see no reason why the Red Sox wouldn’t want to spend $6 million for a pinch runner.
Know what a Morneau type player eats?
Cassettes , for a start. (Dammit)

Are there a lot of teams out there carrying six outfielders, or did you just make this up so you could feel the sharp sting of anonymous abuse?
Saving countless runs with my Brian Horwitz
None of it's all that sharp
I get shit thrown at me on a yearly basis at Dodger stadium and just walking around LA with my SF hat on, so a little grief over wishful thinking is not gonna ruin my day. Plus, I did say we’d split the contract:)
As do I. Last year it was a nacho tray that funny enough hit the Dodger fan in front of me. Holy shit it was classic!
