A Realistic View of 2024: Part II

[Dipre]

No more pets. Anything but another dog or cat. My son's fish had a fry last week and we had to go get a separate tank for stupid "Little Marco." I can't anymore. It's clear I'm just going to post through it regardless of the animal slaughter caused by those two numbnuts.

I'd rather protect the pets.

If you have no interest in signing with a team, you don't meet with them dumbass.

There were zero other parties at the time. Heyman was reporting on a meeting that happened 6 weeks prior. If that was what Heyman was doing, it was truly a masterful gambit.

I did not know Heyman was a party in the negotiations.
Most really good baseball agents such as Boras are masterful negotiations otherwise they wouldn't be where they are.

You son of a bitch!

I don’t expect an admission.

I’ll admit I didn’t read the report, but you said what Heyman said was wrong, and Monty wanted to come to Boston. Where’s your proof that Monty wanted to come to Boston? Saying he preferred not to, and saying he wanted to are 2 different things entirely.

I'm sure if Boston had a competitive (Re: excessive) offer, Montgomery would have had more interest. Interest is often tied to financial commitment. Certainly players want to win, but I can't tell you how many teams have signed with some sub-.500 team for a boatload of cash and then in the press conference talked about how they went to that team to win. When asked about why he signed somewhere, it's really rare to hear a player say "they paid me the most money. Duh!"

Me, too.

For some reason it sometimes seems I get more upset about pet abuse than people abuse.

Part of Boras' mastery is using the press. Quite often having them relay an offer from a "mystery team." Does anyone really think some team said "here's an offer, but keep our name out of it. We don't want our fans to know we are willing to spend money to improve the team."

Good point.

For the most part, BorA$$ seems to get good deals for his clients. You rarely see players dump him as their agent.

This winter, it seems he misread the market.

[Old Red]

I did not say that. You are so fucking dumb.

Where is your proof that Monty would have wanted to come to Boston to narrow it down? I love it when you get all riled up ,and I get MV Pee. The name calling runs in the family with you, and Moon.

You've never though about abused pet owners then.

LOL!

If their pet bit them, they may have deserved it.

No, I never specifically thought about pet owners being abused. It’s not like news stories divulge that info.

[moonslav59]

Oh my god, he admit it!

I often point out you think all your posts are “perfect,” as you said once.

Where's your proof that he absolutely wouldn't have? I'm just going by Heyman's report that said it wasn't his "preferred" destination.

With the amount of golden showers you have been punished by after passing out at the local bar after too many Buds, it's no surprise that you revert to Pee as an insult.

Everyone knows that my username is Most Voracious Poster 78 and the 78 refers to the year I started banging your mom.

I can refer you to the acclaimed Weekly World News.
