Nah that's Youks circa 2005 -- back when he played a game at 2B.

Not sure about the rest of him, but his gut seems to have filled out nicely

[Dojji]

Where in Maine you live?

 

Calais. Part of the "Other Maine." Within about 500 yards of St. Croix Island FWIW.

K, I was born in Waterville, went to school in Skowhegan.

I actually have the Donruss 89 card collection. For the record, I think that the Sabathia card kind of looks like Dave Chappelle.

[Dojji]

It kind of looks like DOntrelle Willis.

Before I forget, Happy Truck Day everyone!!

Truck Day Pics

 

Not nearly as exciting as past years

[example1]

Yeah, that's one of the lamest things I've seen in awhile. I mean, a picture of the inside of an empty truck and the cab of an empty truck? Guy sweeping snow? Seems like all the luster of a Wal-Mart midnight delivery.

[Keeper]

The luster of what?

[example1]

The luster of what?

 

Yeah, it wasn't worth even finishing the sentence at the time apparently. That's how little luster those photos held for me!

This pic from truck day tops pics of them loading bottles of gatorade and bags of sunflower seeds

Nice to know he made it through the winter OK.

[a700hitter]

Nice to know he made it through the winter OK.

About 20 or so years ago Pesky was gravely ill and people didn't think he'd make it. I don't know what medical condition he had, but the guy bounced back for 20+ more years. He's got the greatest attitude which has no doubt contributed to his longevity.

[riverside sluggers]

Hell yea

A survey for predictions for the upcoming season. 1st question is asking who will lead the Red Sox in homeruns, gives you 5 options-- Jason Bay, David Ortiz, Kevin Youkilis, Jason Varitek, Other

 

Chad Finn, who the hell put Varitek in the conversation? He's reached 20 homeruns like once and that was back in 2005

 

Next category for who will have most wins, Lester, Matsuzaka, Beckett, Devern Hansack, Other. Other questions have extreme longshots or players I havent even heard of. Dwayne Hosey?

[Cocos Disciples]

Yes, some questions have ridiculous options. They are making a joke.

[TheKilo]

What the f*** that little kid is bending his wrist back

[a700hitter]

What the f*** that little kid is bending his wrist back

I am glad that I am not the only one who thought: "careful with the wrist big guy!" Fans... we are a little bit sick.

[italstallianion]

Wasn't it the other wrist that Ortiz hurt??

[a700hitter]

Wasn't it the other wrist that Ortiz hurt??

So, you were carefully examining the picture too?

[italstallianion]

Perhaps, I was just thinking about it. Was I right?

[a700hitter]

Perhaps' date=' I was just thinking about it. Was I right?[/quote']Yes

[rician blast]

No wacking off for you, David! That's an order!

Unless he does it right handed...
