I'll boycott other sports except for Yankees baseball. I started out as a Mantle fan so I can't stop. I'll even boycott Giants games even though Archie Manning and Eli Manning were nice and gave me their autographs. But there's no way that I can stop watching my Yankees. At least the Steinbrenner family wants to win.

BOYCOTT ALL PROFESSIONAL SPORTS . STOP THE MADNESS. EMPTY SEATS IN THE STANDS IS THE ONLY WAY TO SHOW THE OWNERS THAT OBSCENE SALARIES AND OWNERS PROFITS MUST END. STAY AT HOME & WATCH THE GAMES ON TV IF YOU MUST. SPEND YOUR HARD EARNED CASH ON OTHER THINGS, INSTEAD OF MAKING UNGRATEFUL ,RICH PLAYERS OF CHILDRENS GAMES,EVEN RICHER .

Tex will have a better year @ the plate, he is still valuable to the sox, 2009 will be a better year for the sox all around, GO SOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

VARITEK IS THE MOST OVERATED BALLPLAYER OF ALL TIME! HE CAN'T HIT FROM EITHER SIDE AND HAS NO ARM. HE CAN'T CATCH WAKEFIELD, THUS MAKING HIM USELESS AS A MIDDLE RELIEVER! VARITEKS CAREER WAS OVER LAST YEAR AND THE SOX AND THEO, ALSO OVERATED, SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEIR INEPT PLANNING AT THE CATCHERS POSITION! MIKE K.

Gee, does this mean I can have my life back now? Seriously, this story dragged on much longer than it should have. This is a player who hit .220 and is 37 years old. He (sans; his agent, Scott Boras) cost himself a lot of $$ when he refused arbitration because he (Boras again) misjudged the market,....oops!

Varitek has given the Sox many good years. He has nothing offensively to offer any longer. It is time to cut the cord. It is time to break in some new blood.

the red sox were right not to sign Pedro what did he do for the mets ? nothing

Clemens had a chance to sign he chose $800,000 more to go to the Blue Jays

Manny is a club house cancer the players themselfs wanted him gone. Manny plays when he wants to um espcialy when a contract year is comming up. There is a BIG REASON why no team has signed him yet ! Is everyteam wrong ? Hell No he faked injuries not to play he limped on teh wrong knee at times.

Get your facts straight before you start bashing a team

Sure go spend big on free agents like the Yankee's do every year. Every year the Yankee's try Buying the world Series forcing other teams to over spend on free agents to try to keep up with them. I can not wait until there is a salary cap in baseball then we will see. what a even playing feild will bring.

mr monkee wrangler , no one turned their back they offered him arbt he refused i should say scot boras did, then they offerd him about the same money the yankees offered petite how come no one said damn yankees turned their back on petitte or abreu or jiambi or whomever, come on man this is a business we love tek but but there not going to over pay him like the ummm the yankees over pay everybody . like posada . 14 million a year can throw no more. so its his choice , and by the way he hasnt hit the last 2 years. have a good day.

i got tell you are one funny person nyc , we did this, we the greatest, we don't disrespect anybody, please what have the yankees done lately .? uhhhh zip don't talk about what they did last decade or last century , id love to see if the shoes was on the other foot the yankees would do the same thing . they would cut and wave mrs steinbrenner if she had a bad year, enough said. we got the celtics, bruins and patriots and you got nothing. so its suck it up like a real man, unless your not. piece.
