I already said I’m terrible at predicting, or seeing the future. Unless it’s predictions like Bloom being bad in Boston of course.

 

But why mention 87 wins?

[Old Red]

Are you looking for something? I already said I’m terrible you should be happy with that.

[moonslav59]

I'm wondering why you chose to say 87. I could care less if you say you are terrible. It bring me no joy.

 

You rarely answer the question asked, so I will say I think you are terrible at that.

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

Well, I sure can't blame you for getting pissed at those K's. They bugged me too.

 

In fact, I think the Sox could benefit from a page from the Rays book, the one that teaches them how to "command" the strike zone. I interpret that to mean partly pitch/location recognition, but also being ready to swing at good pitches. Too often the Sox seem unable to avoid swinging at bad pitches, but also not going after fat pitches--or going after them and missing.

 

Years from now when the Red Sox finally win again, inside reporters will collaborate on a tell-all podcast exposing front office bonus pay to any batter in Sept. '23 that intentionally whiffed at outside sweepers in an organizational tank that eventually led them to drafting their famous 21st century curse-breaker: Kookie -- the son of Mookie -- Betts!

Nicely said.

I’ve seen a mess of Cubs’ games this year, but especially after watching David Ross these last two nights, Cora can come back to Boston next year…

[Randy Red Sox]

It's obvious many think like you do.

 

how about you start a new thread where you and old red can exchange insults and leave these threads to actual baseball talk. not taking sides at all just stating the obvious. anyone agree?

What I have said is not an insult.

Sorry, we're cursed to witness these two old farts yell at each other every day. Feel free to add them to your ignore list.

There are worse curses than this. One starts with an "M" for me, me, me and ends with a "P" for pompous.

Like you have never done it before. You had Bell all upset a while back when you were doing your Seinfeld impression, and arguing about nothing. That was two old farts too.

In case you didn’t notice, mvp wasn’t the one complaining about you…

No one said he was, but he commented on it, and I responded to his comment.

[moonslav59]

...anyway, I think there is a bigger chance Cora gets promoted than fired.

You are a fine comedian, I will say.

I'm not quite in the old fart club yet and I can't say I remember what you're talking about. I think bellhorn and I can be a little more reasonable and move on with our lives than whatever it is that you two are doing. bellhorn and I disagree on some things and agree on others. bellhorn has a good feel feel for my posting style so I don't think we get into weird spats the way some other posters do. If we have, I've been completely oblivious to it.

My wife would disagree.

You was arguing with Moon, and Bell was all upset you two were arguing. Look I’m not saying you’re wrong about me, and Moon, and I admit is petty, and childish behavior, but you’ve had arguments with Moon too, and told me you’ve had him on ignore before, so that’s all I was saying. Like Been there, and done that.

It's never gotten to the point between me and another poster where multiple other posters were telling me to knock it off over the course of months. It just never happened. You two just can't leave each other alone at all.

 

For example, moon decided to call me pompous today. Was I going to respond negatively and get into a pissing match about it or just move on with my life because none of this matters?

Funny how you see this as me starting the name-calling, and you so gracefully and vallantly not escalating it.

 

I guess calling us "old farts" is better than me calling you "pompous."

[jad]

But Good Sir Knight! You have no arms and legs!!!!

Your a bigger man than me.

Kind of hard to get pompous on a blog site--especially one with so many acerbic wits.

[sk7326]

Prior to 2018, he said the Sox were going to miss the playoffs. 2016 and 2017 were fluke AL East titles. The team was due for regression. David Price was coming off the "magically healing arm" injury nonsense from 2017 and was not a sure bet for the rotation. Porcello was going to go back to being a 5 ERA guy.

 

This attitude has always fascinated me. After 2004 ... which is almost certainly the sweetest title any fan base could have ever won in the sweetest way it could have possibly been won ... the idea of eeyore Red Sox fans who predated that just boggles my mind. I mean, I know they are out there clearly ... but it's still mind boggling.

Claiming every post ever made has been "perfect," then doubling down on the claim, kinda fits the definition, to me.

 

Just the opinion of an "old fart."

On the other hand, reading the family feuds on here is usually more interesting than a discussion about Joe Schmedley's OAA and BTV rating.

[Bellhorn04]

FWIW Cora sounds like he's very focused on managing next year, the last year of his contract.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Cora will be back as manager next season according to Sam Kennedy. It could have been worse, Cora could have been given an extension.
