ARE YOU READDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY TO HIJACK A THREAD!!!!

I think we did that a couple of days ago, and for my part in it I apologize.

[CrespoBlows]

Please take your meds and stop being so angry.

 

When it comes to crap, you are more than my match.

 

Please stop being a hypocrite, and I will refrain from being angry.

[a700hitter]

[CrespoBlows]

...a hypocrite? Interesting. Please bore us all with this angry theory.

 

Interesting.

 

You have exact data staring you in the face, yet you continue to deny it. Why is that? Helton, the "crap" comment, this one:

 

Well even the blind squirrel finds a nut occasionally.

 

I mean, it's OK, when you throw mud, yet when I do it, I'm angry?

 

Please enlighten me, why is this?

The blind squirrel remark was tongue in cheek and it was followed by an acknowledgment of a valid point made by you. Boy, that really must have gotten under your skin. You'll need to grow a thicker one. It's not worth getting angry.

[jacksonianmarch]

BTW, do you guys know who the active career BA leader is?

 

Todd Helton, .333 2 points higher than Pujols.

He sucks!! He's in a steep, precipitous decline. Lousy singles hitter!! He's an old man. Youk on the upswing and Helton is in decline Who needs him! Too much money! Why would I want to give up Tavarez and Lowell and to nobodies for him!! That's too much!!

No, I thought this, along with the "meds" joke was laughably weak. I just found it amusing that you could call your jabs as "tongue in cheek," and mine as anger.

No' date=' I thought this, along with the "meds" joke was laughably weak.

If you are not angry, I am glad. I am not. I couldn't be bothered to get angry.

[CrespoBlows]

He sucks!! He's in a steep' date=' precipitous decline. [/quote']

 

The .200 drop in OPS, the lousy road numbers, the steep drop in power? What other proof do you need?

 

Lousy singles hitter!!

 

He is a lousy $17 million dollar single hitter.

 

He's an old man.

 

He's 33, and will be 41 when his contract is up. The Red Sox will probably be burdened with a .250 hitter for the last 3 years.

 

Youk on the upswing

 

Probably.

 

Helton is in decline

 

Absolutely.

 

Who needs him!

 

For six million I'd take him, for $16 million, he can stay in Colorado

 

Why would I want to give up Tavarez and Lowell and to nobodies for him!! That's too much!!

 

Tavarez, Lowell, Delcarmen, and $65 million dollars. I'd make a deal with Colorado.

[a700hitter]

Thank you for agreeing with me. There's no way I want this guy.

Back on the topic of 5th starter...Devern has been tearing up AAA so far in two starts. 10 2/3 IP, 6 h, 3 BB, 20 K, 1 ER, .158 oppAVG

 

There's no way he could be worse than Julian in the 5 spot

I completely agree and before someone says "its triple-A".....Julian Tavarez couldn't post those numbers in triple-A. One more bad start from Tavarez and I bet you see the Red Sox make a move. This team is too good to have a lousy starter in the rotation when there are other options.

[MANNYHOF24]

20K's in 10 and 2/3. That's damn good at any level.

[riverside sluggers]

Hansack now has 2 straight starts of 10 Ks? Damn lets get this train rolling

[jacksonianmarch]

but Tavarez is so good, I mean he was awesome at the end of last yr /sarcasm

To bad the next bad start gets to be Patriots Day.

[ORS]

They really ought to skip him after the rainout.

[jacksonianmarch]

I made a post about the rotation. They arent skipping him per se, they are moving him back to Monday. Instead of moving DMats up, he is being pushed back to Tuesday which would be his normal, Japanese rest.

[adam123]

I think hansack is just what the rotation needs he seems to be better than hansen and mdc

where did he come from over here in vegas its hard to hear about the sox

[jacksonianmarch]

He's from Nicaragua.

[Papelbon58]

Yeah, there was a great ESPN.com feature on him and the town he grew up in.

[ryanromine]

It just baffles my mind to no extent how Tavarez is a #5 starter. I mean we all saw how the end of last year went and not to mention 2004 when he was with the Cards. This guy literally doesn't have a clue when he is out on the mound. I'd say it's time to call up Hansack! He is, like everyone on has been saying, tearing up the minor, thus far. Send Tavarez to the MINORS!!!

[ORS]

Send Tavarez to the MINORS!!!

You know they can't, right?

[ryanromine]

Ok, but for Christ's sake a starter. I understand that it's still early in the year, but come on this guy sucks bad!

[ryanromine]

We'll see how is next start on Thursday goes! He's going up against Halladay ! Even though Halladay is 8-7 with a 4.60 ERA in 27 appearances against the Sox! Maybe Tavarez can pull a win out of his hat!

Yeah! Maybe we should see what Tavarez can do as a starter for more than one game! He threw a complete game against the Jays last year! Purple monkey dishwasher!
