Dustin Pedroia is incredibly unattractive.

Thanks Mr. Coffee!

Immensely.

From 39 million for Nap to 5+ incentives...his hip must be jacked up.

[TommyK8]

Obviously if the Red Sox had been doing anything shady, the player's union or Napoli's agent would have cried foul a long time ago. The lack of anything of that type is a good indication that the medical concerns were real. A one year contract at $5 million plus incentives is so far from what was agreed upon that there must be some real current or potential problems with that hip.

"he incentives could increase the value of the deal to $13MM, Bradford reports. It's a strict one-year deal, according to WEEI."

So, not quite a drop down if he can stay on the field.

I was wondering about that. So, essentially, he accepted most of the risk on the hip. I read that Texas offered more money, but I wonder if the Red Sox offered the highest potential value.

Napoli got 2nd/3rd opinions on hip, confirming 1st. Tough guy. Tough situation. Belief is, he'll tough out in '13

Don't worry. We have Lackey and Buccholz to counteract the hideousness that is Dustin Pedroia.

[BeantownYankee]

Gross.

Explains why they got rid of Youk quickly :-)

Really needed that visual, Mr. Coffee. Thanks a whole lot...

Ahahahaha! Too bad Julian Tavarez retired...

As a straight man, I often have a difficult time telling whether other men are attractive, but I feel like I have a good handle on the extremes (that's what SHE said! OHHHHH!). For example, I don't have to be told that George Clooney or Bronson'sCornrows are extremely attractive men; we simply are, and it's too obvious to even think about. By that same token, I also never had to be told that Carrot Top or *insert your least favorite poster here* are extremely ugly; the contorted pain they foist upon my ocular synapses is sufficient. On that note, Buchholz definitely has a little bit of the uggs going on. Having grown up in a ghetto ................hole, he looks very much like any number of crack babies I went to school with.

Reminds me of Mickey Rivers' description of Danny Napoleon: "He's so ugly, when you walked by him, your pants wrinkle. He made fly balls curve foul."

And even Danny Napoleon was no Don Mossi.

Jim Bouton on Joe Torre in Ball Four: "I'd include a picture of him in the book, but his face melts camera lenses"

Not to mention Vincente Padilla and Pedro Ciriaco. That's not to say that the Yanks are full of Brad Pitts.

IIRC, he was explaining why it was so funny when a player described a woman as looking "like Joe Torre with t*ts."

That was back when Torre was still a fat catcher with the Braves. It wasn't a good look.

I think Padilla signed with a team in Japan for 2013.

Good move-- if he needs extra cash he can make a movie where he fights Godzilla.

Well, that sucks because I loved rooting against him. Best of luck to him in those Japanese creature flicks.

[TommyK8]

He wore the blood-stained sock in Game 6 of the 2004 ALCS. Was the sock he wore in game 2 of the WS blood-stained as well? I only remember one sock, but maybe there was two. Those types of details fade from the memory.

It's probably hard for him to keep track of which time he pretended to be bleeding into his sock.

Apparently, the more memorable sock was tossed into the trash...

The other was from Game 6 of the American League Championship Series, when Schilling pitched against the New York Yankees with an injured ankle. That sock is said to have been discarded in the trash at Yankees Stadium.

Talk about throwing money away

This is true, but most of you missed the most important point; that I, along with Tom Brady and Usher, are extremely handsome men. In fact, I recently sent in an application to Jimmy Kimmel and expect to hear back from him very shortly.
