    Re: Nomar is getting a ring...Agree/Disagree

    If the players want him to get a ring then he should get a ring, end of story. Pedro Astacio will get a ring and what did he do for the team? Not a whole lot, certainly less than what Nomar did. I personally would not give him a ring but I'm not a player on this team. And according to Gammons' latest article, Red Sox will be presenting Garciapara with a ring.

    Seriously though is Ellis Burks getting a ring?
    Yes, and he should get one.

I don't care if he helped them get there and bla bla bla, the bottom line is that he was not a Red Sox and he should not get a ring for a team he does not play for. I would be EXTREMELY angry if someone's name was inscribed on the Stanley Cup after they've been traded, regardless of what they meant to the team in the past or earlier that year for that matter.
            The Stanley Cup and its traditions are an entire different story.

            If you'd go back and read my earlier post you'd see that OWNERSHIP decides who gets championship rings.

            Again, everyone from the hitting instructor to minor leaguers called up after September 1st have been known to get a ring.

            As far as "of this happening more often".....it has been going on for years and years and years. We just don't hear about it because of the Red Sox and Nomar's unique situation.

            Get a grip people. Where have you been the past couple decades?

            How much would you like to bet A.J. Burnett got a WS ring at the Marlins opening home game for doing nothing but recovering from Tommy John surgery all of last year?

            Where is the uproar with that?

                    AJ wasnt traded to another team during the championship season
                    As Shaquille O'Neal left the Suns practice court, he yelled out, "Alvin's the coach. We must be the Clippers. And I must be Olowokandi. Nooooo!"

                            In Burnetts case he remained with the team for the entire time albeit being injured.

                                    The question still remains, what did he contribute to the team that won the World Series that year?

                                            It's ridiculous if he gets a ring. I'll just echo the thoughts of others... HE DID NOTHING FOR THE WORLD SERIES TEAM!!!! He got traded for a reason, and thats because he didnt help the BoSox. When the team went on that amazing winning streak, cutting down on the Yankees lead game by game... they did it without him! When they clinched the AL Wildcard... without Nomaa! Beating the Yankees in the ALCS... he was sittin at home in Chicago... When THEY WON THE WORLD SERIES.... you get the point..


                                            No, he shouldnt get a ring.

                                                    Gary DiScarcina was given a ring when the Angels won in 2002.

                                                    This isn't an uncommon thing.

                                                    Again, the team has the vote, not us. They have more right to think Nomar was a part of their championship than we do.
                                                    "It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied. And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace

He got traded for a reason, and thats because he didnt help the BoSox. When the team went on that amazing winning streak, cutting down on the Yankees lead game by game... they did it without him! When they clinched the AL Wildcard... without Nomaa! Beating the Yankees in the ALCS... he was sittin at home in Chicago... When THEY WON THE WORLD SERIES.... you get the point..


                                                            No, he shouldnt get a ring.

                                                            he hit a lead-off Double against Mo and eventualy scored to make it a 1 run game in that arod-tek brawl game---many say that turned the season around
                                                            Bummed that you're not on my ignore list yet?.....Don't worry, I'm sure you will be very soon.
