The curse of Mookie Betts

[mvp 78]

ok boomer

 

I'm not scared of getting old. I'm scared of turning into some of these dead end miserable old turds on here.

[mvp 78]

The beauty of this place is, no matter how old we are, we all act like a bunch of kids.

 

Truth. I told my son that the Red Sox traded Mookie Betts. His reaction was the same as mine has been.

You are already one of them, just you don't have the excuse of being old.

Proof the Apple doesn't fall from the tree.

I'm way less miserable than a lot of people on here. Don't confuse snark for misery.

 

I'm a little sad that Betts is gone, but I'll be over it by the time Northeastern is beating up on the Red Sox.

Yup, he's a future s*** poster just like me. He's a good one.

Tantrum?

[mvp 78]

Tantrum?

 

Nah. Just disbelief that his favorite player was gone.

 

The tantrums belong to my younger daughter. Not great.

And will he be mvp10 or whatever his birth year is?

[Monster24]

Tantrum?

 

When my 15 year old found out he tore down his Mookie poster from his wall( ordered a Xander to replace) Kid loves to play baseball and follow the Sox and is pretty even keel but this clearly bothered him

When my 12 yo found out, no reaction. $@&/($& Cubs’ fans.

 

Kid doesn’t play baseball but has a 60mph fastball...

I wasn't born in 78. That's Jim Rice's MVP year. My username is just a reference to my boyhood idol.

Get him on here.

 

Are you ready for lots of Mookie Butts jokes?

Honestly, it's a normal reaction.

[SoxnCycles]

My prediction: The Sox will win another WS before the Dodgers do.

 

 

I like it.

Can we take curse down it’s no Bueno for Redsox fans please use another word

You don't have to worry about that. You are already there. LOL!!

[Donnie Sadler was short]

You left out a massive historical difference. That Mookie was dealt during free agency and had one year left on his deal. The Red Sox could have kept Babe Ruth for the remainder of his career if they wanted to and there was nothing he could do about it. But Betts had the option to leave and fully intended to explore the market...

 

This

Lot's of parallels, including that both spent 5 full seasons with the Red Sox.

I'm going to go back and read some of my posts from 10 years ago. Maybe they've aged as well as I have.

I thought the crazy superstitions were ended in 2004.

I am not buying into any superstition -never did. I am just noting the parallels.

You've aged well. Your time as a youth was questionable.

I'm guessing there were a lot of Fire Francona posts.

Yep. There was one guy whose signature line was a rant about how it was time to put an end to Tito's buffoonery.
