Ellsbury is looking good at the plate so far. Admittedly, it's only a couple appearances, but maybe the fact that Beltre is in the other dugout and will never come anywhere near him while Ells is looking at the sky is making him a little less skittish.
I figured the question mark was enough.
But yes, Ortiz is having a slow start, but that isn't much different than the last two or three years. It's still likely he'll end up in the 30HR 90RBI range by the end of the season.
It sounds much more like a legitimate concern when you don't accuse everyone else of whining before you say it, and say it without the I Told You So vibe.
See how much more sense you can make, and how much less you can annoy everyone when every post doesn't begin or end with a shot at someone else? You should try it more often.
So, you get smug about everyone else 'whining' and then you immediately follow it up with four bullet points, three of them whining, one including a whiny "I told you so"
Glass houses.
Everything will be fine.
Home runs to Kinsler and Cruz
Is certianly upsetting news
But try not to feel cursed
It could always be worse
We could be Tribe fans, watching them lose
A seperate thread for the Tribe?
I told you that just wouldn't jibe
For this baseball season
the only real reason
for that thread, is a good place to gibe
A broken pinky toe, my friend suns
Isn't worth having to run
To the nearest bone doc
I'll just wear double-socks
So I can stay here and join in the fun
After all of the waiting so slow
I figured something bad had to show
I missed the first inning
(Though at least they are winning)
I fell down the stairs, broke my toe
I must answer this question in rhyme
It will not be quite as sublime
But as I consider your query
I consider it very
likely Drew asks this all the time
As I have already mentioned
I would pay more attention
to Tampa Bay's Evan
and his AK-47
Violating the Geneva Conventions
A formidable lineup, I'd say
When on any offense-dry day
He can fire a burst
As a runner clears first
And they'll score freely, no matter the play
(And let's not forget Minnesota
They always have Delmon to go t'
If their running game's flat
He can hurl a bat
and give them time to turn on the motor)
