:thumbsup:

[CrespoBlows]

I'll be pleased with a .700 OPS.

[BSN07]

I'd be happy if he could hit .250 10 HR and 60 RBI.

I think he will hit a few more HRs, but I'd be happy with the other numbers.

Best stats ever.

[ORS]

If Tek hits .250, everyone should be doing cartwheels. His IsoD has been a consistent .100+, and his IsoP has been .150-ish the last few years. That means you are talking about an OPS north of .750, which I'd take in a heartbeat.

[italstallianion]

We should give him a Silver Slugger for those numbers. I think he's more in line for .242 14 HR 53 RBI.

[BSN07]

Best stats ever.

 

Small Expectations:D

[BoSox21]

Three of SI.com's 13 "baseball experts", including Jon Heyman and Tom Verducci, picked Jon Lester to win the Cy Young. One other picked Josh Beckett to win it. Verducci also picked Kevin Youkilis to win the MVP.

 

Six of the 13 picked the Sox to win the American League with the Yankees only getting two votes.

Chip Caray is really gay.

 

Pencil me down for a .205/.280/.340/.620 for Varitek. He loses his job in August, after Francona defends his veteran leadership for months. Varitek threatens to retire, proving that he is an excellent teammate.

What don't you people understand about the fact that if Varitek isn't the catcher the Red Sox are a .500 team?

 

Curt Schilling told me the team ERA will jump two runs - that's enough for me.

He sure can handle a staff, and mentor the team. The Red Sox are a bunch of worthless *******s without him.

^ He can do that as a backup catcher.

1. Sarcasm

 

A tongue of which the user speaks of something the complete opposite of what the user means. It often has the best comedic value.

 

Ex. 1: "I'm okay. Don't mind the gaping wound and the sword protruding from my back. I'm fine. Feel like a million f***ing bucks, dammit."

 

Ex. 2:

"Is your car stuck in the mud?"

"No, no, of course not. I'm only practicing how to spray mud using my tires.Jackass."

Sigh...

[BoSox21]

Penny threw 79 pitches today, 14 more in the bullpen and was said to have topped out at 96 MPH

[BoSox21]

Sox optioned Clay to Triple A today. Penny is your 5th starter

[Cocos Disciples]

No surprise there. We'll see Buchholz at some point.
