Big Fan of Pedroia but Not His Extension

[seabeachfred]

So we learn more about what people are here, when they drop their defenses. IF you're a dick on the internet, going out of your way to be impolite and abrasive, etc, then you're a dick plain and simple, the Internet simply made it easier for you to decide not to hide it.

 

Reading these back and forth grenades, I'm reminded by a strong belief of mine when I in the company of my four dogs.......DOGS ARE BETTER THAN PEOPLE, PURE AND SIMPLE.

Have you thought about taking your complaints about the team to your dogs then Fred?

[seabeachfred]

Back to the original point, does anyone on here agree with the new guy that Pedroia's contract is bad and that Ellsbury is the better player? Anyone?

 

I'll have a crack at this one. Perhaps Pedroia's contract might be a year or so too long, but I would rather give him an extra year or two than two years less. And no, Ellsbury is not a better ballplayer than Dustin. Besides, as mentioned by one or two people here, the chances are Ellsbury is fleeing Boston after this year. Unlike Pedroia who made it loud and clear that he wanted to be Red Sox player for life Ellsbury has never said anything of the kind. To my knowledge he has never gone to management and asked for talks about an extension or something would have gotten out as it did about Pedroia. I think we're mixing apples and oranges here. Pedroia wants to stay and makes no bones about it; Ellsbury, well who know how he feels? My take is he is looking for the big payday wherever he can get it.

Mostly Irrelevant Fun fact: On Red Sox Smalltalk, when asked about who his favorite teammate was, Pedroia mentioned Ellsbury first, and threw a few other names out there as well. They seem like two completely opposite human beings.

You have got that right!

Oh s***, you read my mind User, and the answer is yes. Every time the Red Sox lose I have a tendency to rail and the poor pooches take off and hide. My bad.

And we still have each other's back my friend. And damn it, YOU owe me a call.

That's just childish and sad. They don't deserve your irrational crap.

I am going to Fort Myers for 4 days. I will call you soon.

Is calling bad?

Back to the topic at hand:

 

I think Pedroia would hold up better than Ellsbury over a long term deal, but the reality is that signing one should not preclude the Red Sox from signing the other if they so desire.

 

But i Ellsbury really worth a 100+ million dollar contract? Pedroia is, regardless of length.

Not at all. Y'all do have each other's broke back so that's nice and cute and sweet. The rest of us don't care. There is a reason for the private message option. Remember you used to PM me and tell what a great guy you really are and that everyone likes you and I would too? Sorry that my only response was "do not ever PM me again" But I am glad you stopped. Gotta give you credit for that. Much appreciated.

Yes. My apologies. The newbie wants Ells and it's no gonna happen. I'll miss him terribly. Pedey is THE man.

You get what you give 700. You know what hey say... if you can't stand the heat, stop being a douche to everyone.

People, you have to lay off each other. It just gets worse.

I've given up on that and accepted this forum for what it is.

I have Dutchy on ignore, and I will not engage with VA and I haven't for some time now. I have stopped. I guess saying hello to Fred and promising him a call was offensive to some. IDK. Edited July 26, 2013 by a700hitter

Get off your high horse. You argue with someone every time you log on.

They can't help it, so get your popcorn ready. It's not just this thread, it's almost every active Red Sox related thread. I'm just learning to accept it, you probably should too.

Yup. This is Talk Sox folks. I tried asking the admins to enforce the rules and they closed the thread.

It's too bad. These types of groups are for fans to discuss things, and often there will be disagreements. Why those disagreements need to turn nasty I have no idea.
