Red Sox ownership

[Hugh2]

If anyone had any doubts that Red is a troll, post 1270 should put those to bed. Trolling 101.

 

And some of you wonder why moon has no desire to meet with him?

 

That does seem a little weird, but maybe that’s just because I feel like if i told all my friends I spent all my time commenting on a baseball forum and I showered them with all the arguments I’m getting into they’d just make fun of me. But again, we are all different, and to be fair me and my friends will pretty much rank on each other for anything and everything

[Hugh2]

In my opinion there should have never been a reason that we went at it in the first place.

 

I’m still sticking to my Theory that you and Moon are actually best friends in real life and this is all smoke and mirrors.

 

Well played guys…..well played.

[moonslav59]

You guys say we are obsessed, when you obviously can't live without it.

 

Let it go, guys.

We may have similarities being from Maine, and liking the Red Sox, ND, and the Packers, but that’s about it.

Crazy weather, every where.

 

We were below 20 a couple weeks ago and just had a week straight over 70.

 

Maine??

That speculation was more than idle day dreaming. One of the more cogent arguments against Quebec separatism was that it could lead to a dissolution of the Canadian Confederation. With the Atlantic provinces being virtually forced to seek admission into the United States to maintain economic viability. I know there were serious discussions among United States think tanks about how such situation could play itself out. I think both the New York Times and Washington Post had articles about such a scenario as did the Economist, if I am not mistaken.

One of the conclusions was that Quebec would be much smaller than it is today because the first nations would not agree to remain in a French Quebec and rump French Quebec would find itself more isolated linguistically than they are today.

Having travelled to Quebec last fall, I had discussions with numerous Quebecois and found no interest in raising the separatist issue again.

Btw about those so called Canadian pacifists, I think someone forgot to tell the Canadians in the NHL.

 

I'm a Mainer and I have a friend down here in Florida (you know that place that some here would never live of which I'm ok with) who thinks that Maine is in fact part of Canada. I have a few good friends down here who are Canadian. They all played hockey and i'm pretty sure that I would like to have them on my side at all times.

Won’t break character I see.

 

Well played.

Pitchers and Catchers report to SPRING training in NINE days.

 

Appropriately, for our lovable Red Sox, that's on Valentine's Day. But it may feel more like Halloween...

 

... because for those who worry the pitching staff is incomplete, Dr. Frankenstein Bailey is infusing new life to last year's dead starters, sewing fresh arms and attitudes onto cadavers in the rotation.

 

So put away those pitchforks and torches... for now.

As opposed to the alternate theory that they’re really a single person?

Nailed it -- this has all been a subliminal set-up by an ivy-league front office... all leading up to the 20-year anniversary of the 2004 Curse-breakers.

 

Lest anyone forget the enduring image of that '04 World Series: the Red Moon.

Maine??

 

I live in Sugar Land, TX. I lived in Maine from '71 to '04.

Still like to add another arm or two, preferably of major league caliber…

All of us at once vs you would kick your ass, son.

 

On a schedule. Any one of you could probably kick my ass too.

[Dipre]

When I met YOTN, I was just disappointed he didn’t look like a Star Trek character.

 

Wait, you actually met YOTN?

[Dipre]

As I'm sitting here in SoCal, soaked to the bone, freezing, facing another solid week of driving rain, I take heart in the news I just got that you guys in NS are getting 40 inches of snow????

 

It's 20 to 25 C here on the daily until it starts getting hot as balls around March

I can rip the soul out of a "Florida Friendly plant" and not even damage the irrigation or cable lines underneath (most times), but I'm only built for chokeslamming small children into the deep end of my pool. What's the point in becoming the Iron Fist when all of your neighbors have AR15's?

[mvp 78]

Yeah, at Fenway in 17 or 18.

[Dipre]

Him I could probably take. I'm kinda scared of Bellhorn though, out of the lot of ya. Canadians always with the "sorry eh", but we all know, judging by their national sport, the rage they carry within.

Mind.....completely blown.

YOTN was cool. I just chatted with him for an inning or so. I was with a friend and he was with his family.

 

I'm all talk. I lived two towns over from Spud and never hung out with him.

You know what they call the only neighbor without an AR15? A target

I spent some time with Spud when I lived in the US.

Couldn't make it the whole 90 days?

Had to go back to school. Spud cooks some delicious-ass food.

“If this ownership group is not committed to winning and not prepared to show it in a demonstrable way by signing free agents to field a complete, competitive team, then why should we as fans commit to the team?”

 

Amazing comment. Probably someone really smart and handsome wrote that on their survey.

 

The survey results were GRIM... Seems to be a free story so have a look.
