Congrats to the New York Rangers. And good luck with Ellsbury

However, losing New York and New Jersey teams below .500:


Knicks
Nets
Jets
Giants
Islanders
Devils
Sabres
Bills  


By the way, best of luck to the Yankees with Jacoby Ellsbury for the next 7 years at $22M per, or whatever it is.  Think of it this way New York.  By the time Ellsbury's contract is up, Boston's new phenom center fielder who is taking Jacoby's place, Jackie Bradley Jr., will probably be a free agent.  Then you can overpay for HIM too. 



But by that time, he will have helped us win another World Series or two.  LOL.


All together now.  "If I can make it there, I'll make it anywhere.  Its up to you New York, New York......"

LOLOL   You are such a brat!! 

WTG Rangers!! 

Oh...so not a good year for NY sports teams.  The other morning on the radio they said all nine NY teams that played the day before, lost!  Eh, whatta gonna do?  Gotta stick with your teams win or lose! 

Ridiculous amount of money for Ellsbury.  Isn't he even hurt?  We have him for seven years, I give him maybe three good ones out of those seven.  lol

PS - No more World Series for you!  Pfft!

New York sports is definitely in a down time now.  I wouldn't be a good Bostonian if I didn't take the opportunity to get a little dig in -- once anyway.  LOL. 

But look at it this way, when the Knicks play the Nets, at least one NY team will definitely be a winner.

Sorry you had to post the crying Emoticon Sheila.  Yankee fans won't be happy.  In effect, Ellsbury is the guy who now replaced Cano on the Yankee roster and got the money that was going to Cano.  And he is not as good as Cano overall.  That will not play well in NY.  Ellsbury is faster than Cano, but that's about it in terms of what he brings to a ballclub. 

As a Red Sox fan, I'm pretty pleased with the offseason so far.  Look what Seattle is paying Cano.  Its unreal.  His contract is something like $100 Million more than Dustin Pedroia's (Red Sox 2nd baseman) contract, and I think Pedroia is as good and as valuable to a team as Cano.

Agreed.

Ugh, the money these guys make is mind boggling. 


It is, as is the fact that its all guaranteed, so they can underperform and still get paid in full.  Where else can you do that?  Well, The in White House, I suppose.  What a country!  LOL.
