Poor Bronson Arroyo, took the hometown discount on his new contract and the Red Sox boot him anyway. I liked the guy and I hope he does well in Cincinnati. Anyone else feel like he got the shaft?
Now Adam Viniteri has left the Pats for the Colts. Whose next, Tom Brady? I know, I'm getting carried away, but look at who we've lost - Givens, McGinnest, Viniteri.
I'll never forget when Adam kicked the field goal in the snow against the Raiders. I'm bummed - there are no other free agent kickers out that compare to Adam. Looks like they turn to the draft.

DH feels Arroyo's situation is the result of the Sox handling things like a business - all business these days. Of course it's a business, but come on - this is supposed to be the team with heart! It does seem like he was kicked to the curb.
And now Viniteri leaving? Big bummer - he was key in so many - read ALL - the big games. My dad the HUGE Pats fan is in mourning over that one.
I know its business but it still bothers me about Arroyo. Here's a guy who absolutely loves Boston, took a lesser contract to stay. Bronson was at least consistent - are the Sox trying to tell me that Clement is more important to their pitching line up?
I can't even discuss Viniteiri. The Pats are cheap (I mean, really, is $3.5 mil going to break the bank?). I think this move will come back to haunt them.
Oh, Opus, I'm so upset, too.
Arroyo has a very promising and strong future. And Vinatieri, I'm very sad to lose.... he always came through when it was most important. I fear our championship days are getting further away.
Ok - I have to admit I am not the biggest sports fan but I'm really surprised about Adam...and a little about Bronson - but who knows what goes on behind the scenes...
have you heard the latest WBZ commercial listing all the players who have gone elsewhere? funny and sad at the same time!
Thank God my coworkers don't change like these guys - it's hard to build a real "team" when you play musical players....
How about those Celtics????
