Don Orsillo SUUUUUUCKED his last few seasons here.

STOP LYING!

Kids can eat again. Hallelujah!

STOP LYING!

Been saying this for years, including the last few years before they fired him.

The worst was that when he was done with his daily 9-inning giggle fest during the regular season in Boston he'd go call national post-season games and be awesome because he wasn't trying to be silly.

And now we have Dave. Like watching paint dry

He's so bad. I'll take Orsillo and his giggles any day.

God forbid Don and Jerry yuck it up to pass the time of a 162 season grind.

They would still break it down and tell us why what happened.

Anyone who thinks these are equivalent to Bobby Bonilla Day are ignorant monsters.

Imagine acknowledging you are so bad at money (or gambling) that you would lose out on millions of dollars to defer your contract decades.

BB Day is the best. I always envision him celebrating like Murphy, Curtis and Ackroyd in “Trading Places,” after they swindle the Dukes and move to the islands. “Looking good, Billy Ray!” “Feeling good, Lewis!”

There are worse things than "I'm An Idiot Insurance."

Antoine Walker wishes he had that.

People do sometimes opt out of the lump sum in a lottery win.

I think Iverson has a shit ton of money coming to him when he’s 50 because he knew he’d spend it all if he had access to it all

An aside - I took my kids on a whirlwind three parks in three days tour of Philly, Baltimore and the Mets this weekend. Hadn’t been to a Phillies game, and last Mets game was at Shea in ‘04. All three parks and fan experience were excellent and put the Sox and Fenway Park to shame. Phillies and Orioles were both sold out with passionate and knowledgeable fans, both are legit contenders and both act like they actually appreciate people showing up. Citi is a huge upgrade from Shea, but no energy due to low attendance. Still a really nice spot and would be more fun if the Mets were good.

I can't wait to do this exact kind of trip with my son someday. Absolutely awesome stuff.

Agreed!

But Gronk seems to have the best strategy

Mike, it’s everything I love about being their dad. Doing everything possible to help them experience as much cool shit with them as I can. And it’s always quality time, even when they can’t stop annoying the piss out of each other.

Bad new for the Sox, it seems like Houston is getting their shit together.

The Bobby Bonilla buyout was a smart move for Bonilla beyond that. He made himself an extra $20+ million from deferring. He was owed $5.9m and got bought out for $1.2m a year + 8% interest x 25 years. The Mets were the morons here because they wanted the lump of money to invest with Bernie Madoff thinking they'd make a killing on the interest.

His was more than simply getting his money over time
