Is there a play that Punto doesn't botch? My god

 

I wonder if he botches everything outside of baseball too. "sorry hunny, I didn't mean to miss-fondle your boobs".

Even the optimistic people who fought with me all off-season and during the first half probably know that they suck' date=' they just defend them blindly.[/quote']

 

I was optimistic because I thought that Crawford and Ellsbury would be coming back and a full offense would kick ass. But Crawford isn't coming back soon apparently, the infield is hurt, and the pitching isn't getting better. It's just so damn frustrating.

Enrique Rojas of ESPNDeportes is saying that he talked today with Carl Crawford and he told him that he will play a couple of games after the Allstar Game in Pawtucket and he is confident that he will comeback by the end of July.

 

I do not know what to believe.

The ever popular "let's compare apples to oranges with the NFL and MLB."

 

Thats just wrong.

Imaging Kobe sitting a game out because he has a cold, or Lucic not playing because his nose is stuffy.

Same thing. Athletes play in games their team needs them.

Gonzalez can rest tomorrow-if a cold is why he is out.

I honestly think that when Crawford does come back he is going to produce. Might not be this year, but he busts his ass to keep in shape and is a very very good athlete. These injuries are not his fault. I don't hold him accountable for them.

Still, its fun to make jokes about it.

 

I love Crawford, I just love talking s*** more.

Your original example included the NFL, not the NBA. Also, NBA players sit out all the time.

As I understand it Crawford is committed to try to play out the year with the injury. He would have to soft toss the ball to SS from left field. That should scare the s*** out of opposing runners.

 

Hopefully Crawford will be able to produce enough offense to make up for what will be yet another defensive liability.

 

Since he is an everyday player the surgery is not mandatory like it would be for a pitcher and the decision boils down to how much discomfort he is in and what it the most optimal time to have the surgery done.

That would be more like freeloading. Bad choice of a word on your part.
