Red Sox To Pass On Bonds

Alright, Rays, your turn to say your not interested.

If we wanted self centered POS's, we would still have Young and Dukes.

You might be thinking of Manny. He was willing to go to whoever the highest bidder was, unless it was somehow the Red Sox.

Yeah he said it, but has since retracted the statement after having spent a few days there. From an article by Bob Hohler in the Globe in 2007:

"He struck a softer tone in his interview with the Globe. He said he visited Boston for the first time after the Globe quoted him in 2004 as saying, "Boston is too racist for me. I couldn't play there."

Though Bonds made clear in the interview that he had never visited the city and based his view on the opinions of others -- both of which the Globe reported -- his remarks caused consternation throughout the community as Boston prepared to host the 2004 Democratic National Convention.

He said he no longer harbors any malice toward Boston. Bonds's 17-year-old son, Nikolai, spent the 2005-06 academic year at Valley View School in North Brookfield, a private boarding school that describes itself as "a therapeutic environment for boys between the ages of 11 and 16 who are having trouble coping with their family, the world around them, and themselves." Bonds visited the school, about 60 miles west of Boston, for a parents' day.
"I had a good time in Boston when I was there," he said."

"I could be wrong but didn't Bonds say that Boston was a racist town?"

He probably watched too many Spike Lee movies.

I really want to see Bonds play again. Boston is passing on a championship here. They will regret it when JD is hurt and Rocco is unable to play everyday. He would be a great backup to Youk at 1B too when he or lowell needs a day off.

No shocker here... Boston is already pretty well set on the offensive side of the game. With Bay, Ellsbury, Drew and Rocco in the OF and Ortiz at DH, there really isn't even room on the roster, let alone playing time.

The only situation where Boston would really want to go out and sign him is if one of their OF'ers went down with a serious injury... Given the complete lack of demand for Bonds, they have plenty of time to wait.

I've never seen a poster so obsessed with the Yankees as Red Sox Dynasty. It's amazing. This is an article about Bonds and the Red Sox, yet he is the first and only to bring up the Yankees. Get over it.

Being called an idiot by a yankee's fan is a little hypocritical to say the least!
