Great win for the Sox, but, is anyone else sickened by the return of Andy Pettite and his pinstripe bleeding heart. We don’t know yet if he’s still got it, but I wouldn’t bet against him.  After all those years of watching him win big games for NY, I thought we were finnally rid of him. Like Rivera now,I can only hope (as a Sox fan) that he never toes the mound again, and talks of him coming back are scary. He deserves tremendous repect as the greatest reliever ever (some people out there will say he was not that important to the Yankees run because he is a closer) and a decent guy, I will shed no tears if his recent injury ends his career.

Not sickened…WHO CARES….

Pettite was not that good in his last go around…so who gives a sh*t…

Don’t care about Rivera either…more concerned with when Bailey gets back…you need more focus on the Sox and less on the Yankees…they are an AARP team in worse shape than the Sox…at least the Sox have players coming back that can help them…same cannot be said for the Yankees

I have never been happier than when Donald Mcdonald went on the DL and Nava came up, The way this kid has been playing compared to that junk pile Mcdonald is incredible….I hope he can continue to play like he has been and hopefully i’ll never have to see Mcdonald play another major league game again.

It’s Ronald McDonald to you.

Andy Petitte, the performance enhancing druggy making a comeback, eh? Must be taking more PEDs. So obvious. Typical greasy, bloated ego, loud talking, smelly New Yorker.

Don’t be concerned, he’s got nothing left but PEDs in his system.

Great win for the Sox. I don’t get all this preoccupation with Yankee players. As a Sox fan who is genetically sick of the pinstripes I just don’t want to think about those guys at all except when I have to, i.e., when we’re playing them or when we’re neck and neck with them for a playoff spot–neither of which is the case at the moment.  But like I suspect most people who love excellence in baseball, I have nothing but respect for Mariano Rivera and cannot rejoice in the thought of his magnificent career ending with a freak injury. Period.

And I also don’t get the hating on Darnell MacDonald. He does a lot of things well that a ballclub needs, being an able outfielder with a good arm who can play all three positions competently, a speedy baserunner, a competent bunter, etc. I sure wish one of his talents was hitting for average at the major league level, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. Ergo his fill-in maid-of-all-work status, and the likelihood that, given the solid performance of other emergency outfielders while DM’s been on the DL, his days with the big club in 2012 are probably numbered and probably should be. But I don’t get people hating on players because they’re not able to perform the way we need them to. As long as they play solid, professional fundamental baseball and give maximum effort and focus–as Darnell MacDonald does–I’m gonna give them the props that their professionalism deserves. One can lobby for A guy to play instead of B without speaking as though B is a piece of garbage. Nick Punto, for example, is a legit major leaue second baseman with a solid resume. He’s not Dustin Pedroia. Not even close. Duh. Neither is anybody else on the planet.

As a long time Sox fan ,I despise the Yankees and get nearly as much pleasure out of them losing as the Sox winning. Pettite lost last night. We can only hope he won’t get it back.. Speaking of that Yankee corp, it would be nice if Jeter would start declining. I suppose it has to do with how long you’ve been a Sox fan. if you remember Bucky Bleeping Dent, then you know what I mean.

Mac might do better as a reliever.

I’l say it again, I have nothing but respect for Mariano,but I couldn”t care less how he goes out, just as long as he goes. The guy has never had a major injury.The Yanks don’t suffer as many key injuries as the Sox do, or so it has always seemed, over the years..

The thing is Mcdonald has ALWAYS been a below average player in the majors, he is a career minor leaguer and he should STAY in the minor leagues where he belongs…..You mean to tell me Daniel Nava was lower on the list of replacements than Mcdonald is? give me a break….Then management will sit here and say oh we can’t bring up Iglesias because he’s not a major league hitter, yea last time i checked Mcdonald wasn’t either.

If I had to choose between Fitzgerald of today and Moss of ’07 I take the former in a heartbeat.  The talent may be comparable but there is a wide disparity in character.

Moss was a good soldier in 07 & 08… not so much in late 09 & 10…

Would still take Moss..

Rice had Montana. Rice had a strong running game to compliment him. Rice used to dive when anyone came close. Thats how he did it and prolonged his career.

Fitzgerald in a Patriots uniform would completely alter the gameplan of opposing defenses against us….The amount of field that teams would have to cover against us with Fitz in our lineup would be double what it is at the present….You can get slot guys like Welker in the second round and pay them much less,but its so,so difficult to get a fitzgerald type ballplayer….I really hope they try to go after him this winter,and use Welkers money plus on him…

Not gonna happen pal Larry is signed through 2018 in Zona…….

is he the next ochocinco when he turns 35  for the pats
