I have. Most things I say about him are exaggerated negativity just to joke around, but have some truth to them.

Thank you JD Drew, keeping the line moving just like always, right to the bench.

I didn't see him in CF, and I don't care too.

Honestly everything that can be seen with your own eyes just ends up being reinforced anyway with metrics. Metrics just tell everyone what they can plainly see it just reinforces it and makes them feel more important for using cool little math tricks and s***.

Way to go Drew, now if you could only get on base like everyone says you can we might have something here

wow Atchinson really is in the game? What the f***?

lol suck it teixeria.

Wow, Jason Heyward is going to be great. I could tell that ball would be gone while he was swinging. Can't wait to see more of this guy.

goddamn i missed having this stress

This is getting better

come on man

Veggie burgers? Great, now I not only have to deal with rupturing a testicle trying to fit into the seat but also with hipsters and pretentious vegans coming to the park for veggie burgers.

See, It's possible he can't hit. I read this the other day on rotoworld: A scout told the Boston Herald Wednesday that trade candidate Mike Lowell is not moving well in the field or at the plate. The Red Sox are hoping to dump Lowell for a bit of young talent before the regular season begins. But it sounds like they'll be fighting an uphill battle. "How he looked (yesterday), I would not have any interest in him," said the scout. "I don’t think he’s moving very well at all. Right now, his swing is very upper-body dominant. I don’t think he’s popping his hips or using his legs very much. It looked like he was swinging an iron gate." That's not good at all. If his hip is too messed up how long is he going to get by just swinging his upper body? And about the Schilling part of your post, I can remember quite a few people complaining about that, myself included. But a lot of people loved to keep their mouth shut because of the whole 2004 season and the sock and blah blah blah. Basically blind loyalty. And Jacksonianmarch, a lot of people would, I know I would, but I also haven't spent the last decade or more making millions either, and I figured if I did spend that time making millions I probably wouldn't need much more in my life, especially If I was 36. What's 13 million more going to mean to Mike Lowell? Probably not much.

Yeah, I probably would. I am pretty sure he has made plenty of millions of dollars over his career, and him and his family and children are probably set for a long time, if not for life. In fact, hasn't Beckett himself said that he's made all he ever needs in his lifetime or something like that? I can't remember the quote exactly. But hey if Lowell wants to sacrifice his diginity and all that s*** for a few extra million he probably wouldn't even need then by all means he can.

Lowell should just retire now. Seriously. He's not going to get playing time here, he's going to be traded for basically nothing and probably not even play much on his new team. Just retire instead of spending the next few years occasionally batting DH for some .500 team.

I swear, forums need some sort of test for incoming members to make sure their I.Q is at least above the I.Q of a fetus.

oh wow lol I forgot there was even fights during the 2003 playoffs. That time was all a blur for me.

That July game in 2004, when A-rod and Varitek fought, Tanyon Sturtze got punched in the face and Don Zimmer got knocked on his old ass, then Bill Mueller hit that walkoff. God that was awesome. That moment I knew they had to win the world series that year, no way in hell they couldn't.

Now I hope he gets traded to the Yankees, out of spite.

Bucholz has had plenty of time to try to prove himself, and outside of that no hitter he hasn't. He hasn't been as awesome as everyone makes him out to be.

When I originally saw this thread I was going to make a joke post about how BMI is a useless stat like everyone says ERA and AVG are and all that. Ironically it turned out to be very true. Strange.
