Sox starting pitching thread

I always thought all forms of coffee were for wimps.

 

Can't people wake up on their own?

 

Like real men?

You clearly have led a clean and sheltered life.

If you're not waking up covered in the morning dew next to your trusty steed, a pile of smokey logs and a snake in your boots, you aren't a real man.

Who hasn’t had a morning like that?

[Bellhorn04]

Pussies drink Lattes.

 

Real men drink Cuban espresso.

 

I want some now.

[mvp 78]

I want some now.

 

Everybody wants some.

All the comments to the no-coffee were funny, but this must be the winner. As Jackie Gleason used to say: "You're a Riot."

[Spudboy]

Everybody wants some.

 

I want some too...

Pile of smoky logs? What kind of pink hatter needs a fire!?! Eat your food raw like a man and quit being afraid of the dark!!

Far, far from the truth.

[Emp9]

I thought men drank bulletproof coffee?

 

Meh, I found it too much of a hassle and I hate the sound of a blender in the morning. Just throw a tablespoon of mct oil in your 2nd cup and you’re good to go.

Real men drink 5-7 cups of coffee every morning. Anything less & you’re not a “real” man.

 

It’s a widely believed fact.

[SoxnCycles]

I'll drink to that.

[moonslav59]

Next, you'll be proclaiming that "real men use Viagra."

If they don't, who does? Women?

I will not deny that I'm a wimp.

 

Not only do I start my day off with coffee, but it's coffee with flavored cream.

 

Today's flavor, white chocolate raspberry. Good stuff.

[Bellhorn04]

Spud has given me a crazy hankering for Cuban espresso.

[Kimmi]

Spud has given me a crazy hankering for Cuban espresso.

 

I don't believe I've ever had one.

 

In fact, I know I've never had one.

[a700hitter]

It’s a widely believed fact.

And all lawyers and baseball players.

[Emp9]

Next, you'll be proclaiming that "real men use Viagra."

 

 

Can’t say, I’ve never used it myself. But if the tv god is right, it can also help one throw a football through a swinging tire swing.

 

Pretty sure it takes 5-7 pills to do all that though.

[a700hitter]

Has anyone seen any rumors of interest in Matt Harvey?

[Fan_since_Boggs]

Has anyone seen any rumors of interest in Matt Harvey?

 

I read somewhere that he will definitely be moved at the deadline. It wouldn't surprise me to see him end up on the Yankees. The Red Sox will probably look at him too. This was another mistake by the Mets. They gave up on Harvey, wanted to move him to the bullpen. Harvey and Boras were right in refusing such a move; the Mets were wrong. The Mets trade Harvey to the Reds for a mediocre catcher who is a free agent after the season. Harvey turns it around and now he will fetch a pretty good prospect on the trade market.

 

Do we need more evidence that dummy Sandy Alderson should retire?

[jacksonianmarch]

He did retire. And he’s probably gonna die soon.

[Fan_since_Boggs]

He did retire. And he’s probably gonna die soon.

 

I thought he took a temporary leave of absence, which is different from retiring. I'm too lazy (and disinterested) to look it up on google. Most people are expecting the Mets to be under new leadership next season.

 

Alderson should have retired a few years ago. The game has passed him by and he has made a number of poor decisions--the Cespedes contract, the Harvey trade, neglecting the outfield defense, and a few other things.

[jacksonianmarch]

He’s had a recurrence of cancer. He has officially retired.

I would like to point out the importance of punctuation in that sentence.

 

Take out the comma, and the sentence takes on the exact opposite meaning.

 

Yes, we all need baseball to return.

[moonslav59]

I would like to point out the importance of punctuation in that sentence.

 

It should be a colon or semi colon.

Nope, methinks the sentence is correct. Actually, I'm certain it is.

[moonslav59]

You can't separate 2 independent clauses with a comma. You need a conjunction of a colon/semi colon.

 

(The "Can't say" clause is implied to be "I can't say.")
