    If I buy a ticket, I'm expecting my team to try and win the game. Sue me.

    Comparing a bunt single attempt with steroid use? When's the congressional hearing with Jacoby Ellsbury, Carl Crawford and Juan Pierre gonna happen? As a Red Sox fan, I'd be upset with Lester coming so close to a perfect game only to lose it with one out to go but, and this is the God's honest truth, I wouldn't be upset with him doing something within the rules to get on base.

    I understand that these unwritten rules are a part of the game but I'll just always be of the opinion that players should do whatever it takes, within the official rules of course, to win a game even if it meant Brett Gardner bunting his way on in the 9th with Jon Lester working on a no-hitter.

    Fine, try telling a father who spent $200 to take his entire family a ballgame that his team didn't try to bunt to get on base when the score was 3-0 in the 8th cause the other team's pitcher had a no-hitter going. Try being the owner of a team and wondering why your prized free agent who you're paying $18 mil a year to win games refused to bunt to get on base in that game because there are "unwritten rules" that were determined by players decades ago who worked multiple jobs in addition to being ball players.

    I think any unwritten rules in sports, particularly the ones that affect the outcome of a game, should only apply to the team that's blowing the other team out. The definition of a "blow out" obviously is subjective but there's usually a point where the outcome of the game has been determined. In baseball, you stop trying to steal bases. In hockey, you don't put out your top guys if you have a powerplay. In football, you stop passing. Etc, etc, etc. But considering the amount players are being paid today to do whatever they can to contribute to their team winning and the revenues that are at stake from fans expecting their team to do whatever it takes to win, hitters should do whatever it takes to get on base. The games today are different than they were back when the unwritten rules were "written".

    For some guys, speed is a big part of their game and the ability to get a bunt base hit is part of their arsenal. How are you gonna tell someone they can't use part of their ability just cause there's a perfect game going?

    I wonder if A-Rod knows who Dallas Braden is now

    I like it. I need my Bruins in 6 badly for my office pool.

    I personally wouldn't go to his house, I don't think he'd appreciate that. He doesn't seem like the type to wanna stop snorting coke off a hooker's ass to sign a football.

    The 2004 team taught me that absolutely anything can happen in sports.

    If the ERA was going up, I'd be concerned but it's on its way down.

    I think the day Tom Gamboa got assaulted by two shirtless idiots in Chicago, all bets were off in how to deal with these idiots who run onto the field.

    The end of Fever Pitch would've been a lot better if they tasered Drew Barrymore.

    But the Bruins swindled the Leafs by trading Raycroft for Rask so I guess the universe evens itself out.
  17. BoSox21
    There's just no room on this team for him once Ellsbury and Cameron come back. Sad to say but maybe finally cutting ties will help this team take off.
  18. BoSox21
    Blake Wheeler should be better than Kris Versteeg.
  19. BoSox21
    Not very close at all. Not even a bit.
  20. BoSox21
    Guys, do yourselves a favor and enjoy tonight. Too much negativity here lately.

    Jacko, is this the same thing Jon Lester battled?

    Ex-Red Sox' hero Roberts being treated for lymphoma - SI.com My heart sank when I read this headline. All the best on a speedy, quick recovery for one of the most unlikely heroes in Red Sox history.

    Sturm done for the year according to NESN

    Cause my guess is the FO's strategy was to succeed over a 162-game season and postseason as opposed to the first 22 games of the season. I could be wrong though, they might have planned to come out of the gate like firecrackers and then bend over for the rest of the league. If that's the case, they should be hung from flagpoles by their tighty whities.
