    Betcha Gomes comes through here again.
  2. Youk Of The Nation
    Come on Victorino, let's go John Wilkes Booth on this guy.
  3. Youk Of The Nation
    Because he was not a newbie. If any of you remember xxxnickiminajxxx, porcupine penis, or Izzy Short, yeah, that's your guy.

    If the Sox win, I will be making the next gamethread to save the mojo, as the person who banned the guy who created the gamethread. Actually, maybe someone else can make it and 'ban whomever started the gamethread' mojo can be a new thing. Jacko, want to start one?

    Mike. Napoli.
  6. Youk Of The Nation
    Hahaha Ortiz.
  7. Youk Of The Nation
    I keep forgetting to check IPs when someone joins, just in case.

    Maybe they handle the pressure better because of all that coffee.

    This is nice to come home to. I wasn't able to listen to the game after the top of the ninth, I didn't get to see until just now if they won or not. Excellent.

    Sox are winning! Rays are losing! Yankees are irrelevant! Woo!
  11. Youk Of The Nation
    Yes, please don't.

    Exactly. Gamethread mistakes are rare and only made when really, really new newbies don't understand how things work. As for double gamethreads, I don't think that has ever happened, as even the dumbest person should be able to tell that once one is made we don't need another.

    There is no happy medium on this site. Either everyone is creating a new thread for every thought that pops into their head regardless of it's import, or they are bumping months-old threads to start a new discussion. Here's a quick guideline: If a thread is no longer on the front page, you probably shouldn't bump it. If something you want to say or discuss can be even slightly related to a thread that IS on the front page, put it in there. If what you want to post is a statement and not a question, it would probably be just as well that you post it in the gamethread. "Ellsbury is en fuego" is a good example of this. I'm going to cull the main page now and let's see if we can keep it tidy from now on, shall we?

    This thread was created in 2011 before Ben Cherington was actually the GM.
  15. Youk Of The Nation
    Considering the production from the Sox outfielders and the fact that Reddick had to hit 3HR in one game to jump his OPS up to a little under .700, I think we can agree that the trade didn't damage the Sox too much.
  16. Youk Of The Nation
    I don't get how a player playing worse than expected is Cherington's fault. If you sign a guy who is expected to hit 25-30HR and bat .290 (for example), and the guy hits ten HRs and hugs the Mendoza line, how the hell can you blame the GM for signing him? Blame the guy who sucks for sucking. This is my major issue discussing problems with the FO. It's like the fiasco of the last two years with the contracts of Crawford and Gonzalez. Yes, Crawford sucks, but who the hell expected him to? He was signed expecting him to be a great player because he was, in fact, a great player. The fact that he sucked shouldn't reflect on Theo's abilities as a GM, it should reflect on Crawford's abilities to not suck. The same should go for Cherington and any of the guys he signed, within reason. I say within reason because GMs can make mistakes. Mike Cameron was a mistake, the man was as washed up as you can be without a bunch of hippies forming a bucket chain to keep you wet.

    There are three ways to do things. The right way, the wrong way, and the Lavarnway, which is the right way but not often enough to be a starter at the major league level.
  18. Youk Of The Nation
    Nice throw!
  19. Youk Of The Nation
    Congrats to A-Rod for passing Musial on the all-time RBI list. Haha, not really, f*** this guy.
  20. Youk Of The Nation
    It only happens in threads with a large number of replies. Usually Gamethreads. I'll take a screenshot the next time it happens.

    Bury it in the fine print or just use a lot of euphemisms during the negotiations. Tim: "This amount you are offering isn't high enough, if you get what I'm trying to say." GM: "Well, to be blunt, we are prepared to offer you more, in addition to a more important roll in the bullpen." Tim: "Better, but this still isn't an offer that's going to bowl me over." GM: "Just listen to what we have to say, we don't want these negotiations to go up in smoke too early." Tim: "How about, in addition to my salary, you throw in a couple dozen pounds of high-grade pot?" GM: "Tim, what the f***?! What happened to the wink-wink-nudge-nudge? There are interns here!" Tim: "Haha, yeah, sorry dude, I'm so f***ing blazed right now, I have no idea what's going on. Is this Xbox?" GM: "Final offer. 1 million a year and 500 Doritos Locos Tacos" Tim: "Cheese or Cool Ranch?" GM: "Cool Ranch" Tim: "I'm going to have to think about this. Do you have any Visine?"

    I wish I could get a streak of more than two games going. I think that's my highest this season. I hope the Sox make it dramatic again.
  23. Youk Of The Nation
    Well, this game is over. If there is anything this season has taught me, it's that an early 3-run deficit is insurmountable for this team. I'm going to go to bed.
  24. Youk Of The Nation
    Lester: Versus Bruce Chen, whom the Red Sox have beaten up on numerous occasions. It's time for Lester to get back on track, time for Napoli to get back on track, time to f***ing win without drama. There is no reason two games against the Astros should have been so nerve-wracking. So win, easily and early. Go Sox. f*** the Royals.

    Whoa, there are people in Saskatchewan?!
