I for one am glad they got rid of Nomar.
Before I have a thousand Yankee fans jumping down my throat here is why...
#1: Nomar complains for 3 years about wanting to "End his career back home in LA".
#2: Red Sox offer him a contract which would make him one of the highest paid ball players in MLB (right behind AROD & MANN^Y), which he turns down.
#3: When the Red Sox try to trade him for AROD, he gets all bent (even after he turned down the contract).
#4: This was on WBZ in Boston today (Sunday). Nomar walked into Francona's office on Sat morning after a sub par performance on Friday night complaining that his heel was bothering him and that he would not be able to play the rest of the Twins series. He further went on to suggest that they put him on the DL for the month of Aug. so that he could, "Heal up and be ready for Sept"... Then Boston Management tell him about the deal in the works and all of a sudden his heel is mysteriously all better...
It all boils down to him having a problem with management (for whatever reason) and taking it out on the fans. People who LOVED and supported him since day 1. I am disgusted.
This is a big difference between the Red Sox and the Yankees. Because of the discipline in the Yankee organization, you would never see this kind of behavior out of a Yankee ball player. The Red Sox fans are the most loyal fans on the planet, and for one of their superstars to shit on them like that...
Ah fuck it, I'm done.
Thank god it's football season and the PATS are back stronger than ever. Atleast I can cheer for winners now!
