Mother of fuck. Sorry guys, I've been really busy (really really really busy actually) as of late, and I haven't been able to get anywhere near Talksox. I'm pissed that this was left to go on so long. My bad guys, my bad.
I'm normally a very patient guy who will give anyone a chance. But I've had enough of waiting for ARod. if he won a championship with us, maybe I would cut him some slack. Problem is, he just doesn't have it, which wouldn't be so bad cept he is the most talented player in the majors. The fans gave him every opportunity to redeem himself. Do you know how many times we gave him a standing O in the stadium everytime he comes up with men on base? We WANT him to do well, the boos only come AFTER he messes up. Why would anyone want fans to cheer incompetence? Even if he gpes 0-7 with 3 GIDP the day before, I guarantee you the fans will on their feet cheering him like he's Mother Theresa if he's up in the 7th with men on base. Even though we all know he will fail us, we still give him the benefit of the doubt. If we boo him after he screws up, then the cheers he gets from us will only be muchg sweeter when he delivers.
That's how you train a dog, when he does something stupid, you tell him that, save your praise for when he does something good. Otherwise he never learns and equates failure = praise. Places that are tough to play in always seem to have the most championships. New York Yankees have the most championships in baseball. The Celtics have the most championships in basketball. I don't know how Montreal is, but I've heard they're just as passionate about their hockey team as we are about our baseball teams.
Yeah, Manny is arguably having his best season, a .330 average, he will get 40 homers, and 130 RBI.
We have a new guy, RedSoxOverRated, just ban him now.
