8/14 @ Orioles

[jacksonianmarch]

I am sure you have. But you wouldnt happen to be guilty of trolling, would you? Or maybe stalking? I don't follow you captain cranium, you seem to love me, though. I am pretty flattered

[NativeBostonian]

Someone please tell me how you get ten hits and one run?

[Youk Of The Nation]

I've had a few PMs come my way about your trolling' date=' but I am the only one that points it out and the mods seem to have no issues with it.[/quote']

 

 

The mods step in when we feel we need to. Jacko takes as good as he gives and normally refrains from going over the line. I have reminded him on occasion that Red Sox gamethreads are not the place to scream "Go Yankees", and I'm sure I'll have to remind him again, but people are much more likely to be on the watch list for making snide comments about the competency of the moderating team then they are for being a Yankees fan in the Sox gamethread.

14th pick in the draft and moving up the big board!

That line I was just talking about...

 

Just ignore each other please. If anyone has a problem with Jacko's comments, just remember that it is likely all of his bravado and intelligence is a cover for the fact that he doesn't want any of us to find out he's a proctologist.

Stalking and trolling? I have never posted on a yankee board.

Emergency Medicine baby. Cmon now, proctologists make bank, man. But the job is BORING. I need some fun in my job.

I'll take it.

You're a Yankees fan, I thought there was nothing more fun for you than sticking your fingers in another man's ass?

[Station 13]

Looks like this team will play around .350 ball the rest of the season.

[Youk Of The Nation]

...as for making bank, I assumed as much. You'd have to pay me a shitload of money to spend almost a decade in medical school just to spend my days wrist-deep in butt.

[DocHolliday]

The real master strategy seems to be finding every possible way of humiliating one of the most dedicated, loyal fanbases in the sport on a daily basis.

 

Enough is enough already. If this team was playing like this and the off the field stories were non existent it would be different. This is beyond and frustrating and must stop. NOW.

[Bellhorn04]

Someone please tell me how you get ten hits and one run?

 

We now have one run on 11 hits and 2 walks. And the 11 hits include 3 doubles and a triple.

Rectal exams are a part of the job. But thank goodness my entire job isnt predicated on the area between colon and anus.

[jacksonianmarch]

And I know a few anal surgeons and they are kinda into it. In med school I scrubbed in on a rectal surgery and immediately knew that that was not what I wanted to do.

[Brennan]

f*** you Melancon.

[Station 13]

WTF is Bobby doing.

[Brennan]

We are in the twilight zone.

[mvp 78]

DFA Bailey

Which is in part why laying the blame for this mess of a season all at the feet of Beckett and Lester is such ********. I understand it. Folks are trying to parse this mess down to a simple cause and a simple fix cause it suits there purposes to parse it down to a simple cause and a simple fix.

 

I still think the Sox are fortunate in that bringing in a real legit 1 here might be all it takes to make a huge difference in this rotation even with Lester still here. They can thank Buch and Felix in the main for making it possible to turn the rotation around by getting a legit 1. A huge dif in the rotation might be enough to encourage the everyday players to play some form of baseball again instead of whatever the f*** this is. However getting a legit 1 is not easy and it could very well take more than one off season to do it. That does not bother me either as this team is truly f***ed up...enough to believe a two year fix will be required.

 

Need a new pitching coach also.

[Brennan]

Anyone else want to punch Jonathan Papelbon in his stupid face right now?

[DocHolliday]

Absolutely fed up with these guys who take it to us each and every time they face us. Does not matter who is pitching or how they are pitching.

 

David Murphy, Mike Napoli, Mark Reynolds, Chris Davis (with the bat and on the mound), Robert Andino come to mind - but I'm sure there are more.

[jung]

This has turned out to be such a typical 2012 game. How many of these have we seen this year?

[Station 13]

another game closer to the 70 mark scoring 3 or less.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Lifeless

[Brennan]

I have become..

 

comfortably numb.

If it is going to be a 2-3 year fix, the resurgence will have to come from a new crop of younger players. The current core of the team (Pedroia, Gonzalez, Lester, Buchholz, etc) will be at or near the end of their prime years. What a waste of talent to childish bs.

 

At that point, this team will need new anchors to lean on both in the rotation and on the field. If the current core is still with the team at that point, they will be in a more supporting role and shouldn't be expected to carry the same load they should be carrying now.

 

I'm not saying this current core will be terrible, but I doubt they will put up the numbers they should be putting up now and have put up in the recent past.

[mvp 78]

Well, since this game is done, turn on PBS to see "Fenway Park: American Icon."

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Red Sox should only wear the Johnny Pesky arm bands when they decide to play like a good team.
