I guess, in a way, this is merely the realization by the balance of the population that there is a humongous imbalance concerning the dependency on all that flows out of our Great State.

I'm sorry, but what did you expect?
He just signed a 5 yr – $82m contract with Boston. Did you really think he’d get up in front of the media and trash the team, the city, ownership and fans? Geez folks, Boston obviously wanted him and paid him accordingly. They love him and he’s going to love them back.
Lackey is gone. If you need to be mad, get made at Arte and the GM formally known as the Ninja.

No, no no no. You're JUST WRONG.
First of all, Lackey doesnt deserve this contract. Its a shitty contract that the RED SUX are probably going to regret. YOU’RE missing the POINT.
Its the fact that after trashing the Red Sox in the media including specific players that he would end up in their uniform. Its the fact that, as an Angel fan, there is so much bad blood with the Red Sox. Its the fact that there is absolutely no loyalty and its frustrating for an emotional fan. Arte and Ninja made he sound decision. Throwing millions into a long term contract for a thirty-something year old pitcher with arm problems is SUPER DICEY. I agree with their decision to not offer him this contract. However, as a fan, who lives and dies and breathes with the Angels, I think i have a right to pissed off that our ACE went to the team that I and many other HH’er loathe more than any other team out there.

OK, cue the lunatic fringe....
Who cares what the Red Sox paid him. If you are correct and they overpaid, perfect for it could hurt them going forward. The more plausible reality is that as a franchise the Red Sox and Yankees can overpay for players and it does not hurt them one bit. The are obviously better funded than every other team in MLB, and they can absorb mistake contracts.
Hate the guy – it’s fine with me. I sincerely hope it makes you feel better.

Whats your point?
Who cares what the Red Sox paid him? Well if I am going to blame Arte and Ninja like you suggest then we need to talk about money. They didnt offer him that big of a contract because they feel it was too risky of a decision. I agree and thus DO NOT blame them.
Do I blame Lackey for taking the big contract. No, I dont. Am I emotional about seeing a guy I have loved and watched for the past 7 years go to a team has been arguably our biggest rival, YES.
Sorry, I didnt hit the bong today Mustard Man so that I could be just so-totally-chillax about losing our ace pitcher.

by BryanHarvey'sMoustache on Dec 16, 2009 11:49 AM PST up reply actions
My point is that Boston had a choice to pay Lackey the money. Arte had a choice to pay Lackey the money. No one forced either to make the choices they did. Boston felt Lackey was worth 5/$82, Arte refused to spend that much.
The point stated above in the response to my post was that Lackey did not deserve the contract. I can understand that perspective on an emotional level, but practically it’s just an emotional argument. Lackey “deserves” what the market values his services for. In December 2009, his market value was set by Boston at 5 years – $82.5m. It was Arte’s choice to disagreed with that market value. I don’t begrudge Lackey for getting the most he could for his talent. I may not agree with Arte’s decision – time will tell who had it accurately.
My point about “if need to be mad, be mad at Arte” was simply lamenting the reality that Arte does not have the really deep pockets to keep Lackey or Figgins. The issue with both their contracts, in my opinion, is not year one or year two – it’s years four and five for Lackey and year 4 for Figgins. Arte does not have the cash to spend that the two biggest market teams can: NY and Boston. As a fan, that is ultimately the most disappointing because no matter which free agent the Angels want, the reality is that NY and Boston dictate the market.
Lastly, as for loyalty – it does not exist. Where was the loyalty for Vlad when the Angels let him go (assumption being Matsui is replacing him), or for Dondo after his great 2008, or Moseley, or Q. I get that some of these guys have nothing left in the tank, but precept of loyalty is we’d keep them on roster regardless. In our heart some might feel that way, but in our head most recognize that would make no sense.
We’re all fans, and bitching goes with cheering. We all just have different ways of expressing both emotions.

i agree with mustard man
how do you expect loyalty from employee and there are no loyalty from the employer? i can really relate to big John here. I am an workaholic. I just quit my first career job that I have been working for 5 years. the company gave this lame excuse (bad economy) for salary freeze 2 years ago, 20% pay cut last year, and no raise again this upcoming year. That is 3 straight years of inflation and no increase in salary. I stuck with the company hoping that the company will reward me for my loyalty. Fortunately, an ex-manager with the company offered me a job that compensated me well (better position and pay). it was actually a petty increase in pay. i was hoping that the now-former employer would match it for me to stay because I really wanted to. but after talking with the VP, i came to a harsh understanding that employees like me are dime a dozen (he pretty much gave me the finger and told me to GTFO). I really felt betrayed. I now know where loyalties lie. It’s to god, me, and my family.
so John, good for you and good luck to you. if the angels really wanted you, Arte and Ninja would have made it happen. i will never root for the red sox but wish you success.
Angels 2009 WS Champs
The Angels offer did not signify disloyalty
It’s reported that he was offered $18 million a year for four years.
That’s for someone who has averaged 13 wins for the past 7 years.
I think the Angels bent over backwards to keep him. They are not going to outbid the Red Sox with their NESN TV network revenues and obscene ticket prices.
The Angels are trying to show a little loyalty to the fans as well by not charging as much for tickets. The Red Sox sold out the little guy long ago.
Regardless of which direction you go, something’s got to give.
by California Cajun on Dec 16, 2009 7:34 PM PST up reply actions
I agree, Cajun
A lot of people complain when the Angels just don’t go hog wild signing blank checks to free agents asking for ridiculous contracts just to bring them aboard, but I appreciate that Arte tries to balance payroll with keeping the Angels near the top of the list of most fan friendly costs to attend games. Sure I’d love it if the Angels signed every free agent regardless of how absurd their demands, but wouldn’t like it if we had to mortgage our homes to attend games like those eastern teams to sit somewhere decent. Because those costs have to get passed along. And what exactly makes the “market” what it is? Just because one owner gives a moronic contract to a player, does that automatically set the bar for everyone to follow? Scott Boras would certainly want us to think so. But by that thinking, Gary Matthews Jr would mean that every bench warming 4th outfielder deserves a 5 year/$50 million contract because a team gave one out and “set the market value” for one-year semi wonder players.

Just wanted you to know John Lackey in a Sox uniform makes me as nauseous as it does you.
Galactus does as he pleases. Because Galactus is drunk.
Well finally Epstein will get a break from you guys blowing him 24/7
We are the Los Angeles Angels of the late 2000s
This was actually a psy-ops tactic by Angels Fans and Tony Reagins
We are adding insult to injury for “Red Sox Nation” after soiling your stadium in October.
In all honesty though, can you explain to me how Theo Epstein looked at Lackey’s Fenway Park numbers and did not go “WTF?!! Pass.” I really want to know.
Good luck with that track record when good offensive clubs like New York, Texas, Tampa Bay and the Angels come to town.

I guess he thought since he wouldn't be pitching against the Sox at Fenway, they'd be better?
Beats me. Didn’t see it coming…had to switch from beer to hard liquor when it happened.

I have a five-tool player in my pants.
It's a big gamble for you guys
And I left out his numbers against the Yankees, which wouldn’t make you Sox fans happy either. In light of all this and the money I’d be switching from ale to Irish Car Bombs too.
I was expecting him to go to the Mets and so were the Mets it looks like. I’m just shocked by this.

Classic Bawstonian coping mechanism.
Hey, can you do me a favor? Can you tally how many d’bags at Over the Monster who used to talk smack about Lackey are now kissing his ass and saying how glad they are to have him? I bet it’s wicked lots. At least you’re not one of them yet. Hopefully, Lackey will never give you a reason to like him. I personally really grew to dislike him. He’s a whiny chubby bitch.
No matter what happens from here on, it has been a great season.

Not Bostonian. And if you have a system that works, you use it.

Why don’t you watch some fuc&ing curling or hockey and go back to OTM!

Watch curling and hockey.

About as original as a citizen from America Jr.
Rooting for the bosux. What’s your favorite football team, the Cowboys. A big Lakers fan are you?
YOU DON'T KNOW THE POWER OF THE DARKSIDE.....
DAMNIT
silly me for assuming that a single Red Sox fan is actually from Boston

Cant wait for a press conference in that same uni
after losing to the Halos in a 4 game sweep of the ALCS…drunk Irish leprachauns then overturning Lackey’s tractor in the parking lot. Have fun getting mopped up by the Spankees 5 times a year. “All I want for Christmas is for the Rays to win East, the Rays to win the East, the Rays to win the East”

Hey, you stole my ALCS idea from way above
But you do have a catchy jingle in yours.

Don't let the door
Hit you in the ass on your way out John.
Honestly, I’m happy the Halos didn’t even try to resign him if this is what we were going to bring back. The Sox overpaid, and his numbers will decline. He was clutch at points and was a great Halo, but let’s move on already.
We already know that no one in Baseball has any loyalty anymore. The owners don’t have any loyalty to the players and the players have no loyalty to the teams. The only loyalty left is from the fans. Well, let’s be faithful and root on our team as it exists.
We’ve got one of the best farm systems in the game, and IIRC we’ve got some great up and coming pitchers. Let’s get them up here already.

Leave Chad Billingsley alone!!!
Interesting sentiment from a poster at OTM
Pretty much how I feel about it myself.
soooo
what are you guys going to do with your Lackey bobbleheads? any creative ideas??
p.s. trading it for a Curtis Granderson bobblehead is not an acceptable answer
Guess there's no other way to approach it...
*Slaps self in face a few times, exhales
OK, bring on 2010.
John Lackey is a douchemoron.
He goes out of his way to say winning was the most important thing in his decision.
umm…John, didn’t the Angels sweep the Red Sox last season?
Just say you left for a couple extra dollars, dildo.
I've got nothing.
I really want to know,
How many Chawds all of the sudden love Lackey even though they’ve been trashing him for the last 8 years? But I’m too afraid to go troll OTM, I might contract an STD.
No matter what happens from here on, it has been a great season.
I love the one question
“So, John how do you think Angels fans will react to your sigining with the red sox. will it be like a red sox player signing with the yankees?”
John says, “Oh I don’t think so”
Yeah john really you are the most hated man in California and your ass looks stupid in a red sox jersey. Thanks for the memories, but go to hell you turned your back on the people that supported you. I hope you enjoy the cold crappy weather in Boston. If you ever consider coming back don’t because nobody likes a loser doche like yourself.
Bring back Lackey

^^This is a winner^^
You could put Andrew Dice Clay, and George Carlin to shame. ;)
YOU DON'T KNOW THE POWER OF THE DARKSIDE.....
Lackie
you’re a tool…never a 20 game winner, acting like a baby on the mound when it doesn’t go your way…and now, you join the biggest whinning organization in sports…here’s to hoping you lose your first 5 starts and then whine about a “sore shoulder,” resulting in a rehab assignment in Pigsnuckle…let’s see how the wife likes the Ramada Inn with free stale breakfast buns and 5 hour-old coffee…and then, the ultimate insult – on start 1 of the rehab, a pimply faced 18 year old goes yard on a 3-0 count in a game you are losing 9-1 on your 61 pitch…he fist-pumps all around the bases as the 576 fans cheer wildly, causing you to throw the nect one at the eyebrows of a 37 year old, never made it to the bigs back up catcher, who promptly charges the mound and pops you right in your fat mouth with a short left that drops you like the giant sack of shit you are…your teammates do a little obligatory pushing and shoving, but are all laughing and winking at each other and the opposition, losr single A-er’s from the Turd Creek Floaters…a few hours later after the stitches in the lip from a doctor with 9 vowels in his name, you make it back to the Ramada only to find the wife engaged in a little fungo with the same pimply kid who took you deep…enjoy your new life!
Hey, John,
Go fuck yourself. I officially hate you and will take every opportunity to rip on your ugliness now that you play for Boston.
RIP NA
LACKEY MOOOHAHAHAHA
Just when i thought John “Lt. Pile” Lackey could no way look any uglier… he proves me wrong… Just look at the big doof in that hidious uniform… it is like a bad accident…my stomach cringes at the site but i cannot look away.
Congrats on the big contract, we will miss you, but no way did we want to commit $17M per season in years 4 and 5, Big John. Thanks again for game 7 as we will forever be grateful for that wonderful deed.
I love this team.
Yes, indeed.
RIP Nick Adenhart.
