  1. I still remember where I was for that game, because I was pulling into the parking lot at work when Youk hit the HR that ended up being the deciding score of the game. I almost went over the curb because I was screaming "f*** yeah"!
  2. I loved watching him roll the ball to the first baseman on a putout. He was the Manny Ramirez of pitching. Guy just did not give the slightest f*** what anyone thought of him.
  3. It's hard to pick one guy out of the slew of guys over the years who have outright stunk for the Sox. The problem is that you could make an argument for a lot of them, based on their stats combined with how many games they appeared in with the Sox, et cetera. For me, I'll go with a guy who only pitched one game for the Sox, and did it horribly: Charlie Zink
  4. If you had told me that Brian Johnson would pitch a CG shutout before Chris Sale, I would have asked you for some of your awesome drugs.
  5. What show were they talking about? I'm so glad I listen on the radio instead of TV. Radio guys have to narrate every single pitch. They have much less time to fill with stupid s*** like the TV guys.
  6. I don't think that means what you think it means.
  7. This loss is on Farrell. Velazquez had not thrown a single pitch at the MLB level, that should have been enough for Farrell to realize that he was going to suck tonight. This is why in the past, all MLB pitchers were required to pitch at least three games in the Major Leagues before they were allowed to pitch a game in the Major Leagues. Farrell's failure to realize that Velazquez was going to suck without any evidence for or against that outcome is inexcusable. If our manager cannot predict the future with 100 percent accuracy, what good is he?
  8. I think that's a huge exaggeration. This is his first MLB appearance. I can think of guys who got roughed up worse in their first appearance, as well as some guys who got roughed up equally or slightly less and went on to have decent careers. Calling him one of the worst you've ever seen after 5 MLB innings is a little silly.
  9. Chad Pinder has a dumb name. Also, f***.
  10. Seriously this needs to stop. You created this same thread a week ago and it got two replies. It's still on the front page, for gods sake. I'm merging them, and this is the last merge. From now on I'm straight-up deleting redundant or useless threads.
  11. Bronson Arroyo for Wily Mo Pena. Arroyo has been a mediocre but serviceable starter almost every year since and would have been a huge relief in all the intervening times the rotation was being pieced together due to injury. Pena gave the Sox one memorable grand slam in a game against Baltimore and was largely irrelevant otherwise, and has already faded into the obscure statistical history he was always destined for.
  12. But how will he fit in the lineup with Trout, Machado, Ted Williams, Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, Stan Musial, and Roberto Clemente?
  13. Feels like it was all in this one inning.
  14. So far, you are absolutely correct. It has been fun to watch.
  15. I think the only thing you can take as a positive if you're a Mets fan is that this game was on the road. Imagine paying for tickets and concessions to watch your team give up 23 runs. A loss is one thing, this was a beatdown.
  16. Chris Coghlan is apparently Superman now.
  17. 3:30. I work third shift, I got out of work at 7 this morning and went to sleep at about 8.
  18. Nothing like waking up to see the Red Sox winning.
  19. Holy shitf***, where did you come from?! Great to see you!
  20. Wade Miley went 8IP today with 11 Ks. Baseball is so weird.
  21. I have to say (as anyone who knows me would suspect), I am still laughing somewhat at the macabre humor that some people bring to situations like these. A comment on another website about his death read "Aaron Hernandez died like a true New England Patriot - by cheating the system."
  22. I'm not celebrating, just indifferent. There are so many issues and events in the world whose tragedy I could lament, the suicide of a murderer is not one of them.
