Don't be so rude to a true fan of 56 years...it's Tito's fault and his alone ...all they had to do was win two more games than they did...had he played Olerud more often instead of putting him in in the eigth inning a million times we'd be the champs today. Plain and simple...didn't need pedro or smedro...the talent was there .....just not utilized the way it should have been!

Hey Cityofchampions33... I know that but this situation has turned out so BADLY that 2 threads won't do any harm! That Pinhead Francona...plays Millar instead of Olerud in the most important games of the season! Serves that PECKERHEAD right but now we all suffer. :dunno:

Agree with you a 1000% Irish Jay!

Sorry Folks...but I told you that if Olerud didn't play the entire past week the Sox would lose and that's exactly what happened thanks to that pinhead penguin coach!!! I believe he didn't play the full game in at least 3 if not 4 games and they lost every single one of those when he didn't start!

Why is Francona playing Millar in 3 straight in the final week of such crutial games particularly when the last 2 he played in Millar left 7 stranded they lost both and Olerud is sitting on the Bench wondering what is going on here??? :what:

I JUST can't believe this s***. Millar is starting tonight again????? This year Olerud's average against lefties is quite high ove .300 and he's not tired at all...he just turned 37 Millar is 35. Keping Olerud from regular play with his expertise talent and experience makes absolutely no sense and makes him stale for a regular playing role. Gotta make him wonder what the F is going on as well! I cannot comprehend that idiot coach at all.. :dunno: :dunno: :dunno: Francona has got to be a mental baseball midget !! Good Luck tonite Sox!!!....mutter mutter mutter...

I wholeheartedly agree about the fact that Tito isn't too bloody smart as a coach particularly as right now each game is so important. Playing Millar in any game this week was a definite no-no as I mentioned earlier in this thread and suggested Olerud play out to the end of the season. But Penguin Pinhead Francona puts Millar in the second game of the double header and what happens they lose and leaves guys on 2nd and 3rd. Last night plays Millar again ...leaves bases loaded and they lose. Puts Olerud in in the 8th draws a walk then a single and they fizzle. Why even bother putting Olerud in in the 8th losing by 5...play him from the start...it's tough coming into the game in the last inning or two even for Olerod both mentally and physically. That's my 3 cents worth...if he doesn't play John the next 4 games say goodbye to everything. Mind you I don't expect Olerud to perform miracles though he has the ability but after the recent screwups costing 2 games by Francona he better forget his frienship with Millar and play Olerud all the way! Go Sox!!!!

Hey Ray10...John doesn't nor has he ever had any knee problems...he whacked the inside of his own foot last year with his bat somehow while playing for the Yankees in the 3rd game that they beat Boston...I also believe he hit the winning homer in that game although it may have been game two. He was then out for the rest of playoffs had surgery over the winter and still had a sore foot into the new season this year and thus Boston won...had he played in any (save for one appearance in the remaining games against Boston last year...I assure you Boston would not have won the world series. You may think he has bad knees because his running speed is that of a snail with a limp as I may have said before! He has won two world series is much taller 6"5" with a much longer reach for infield hits etc... and is a much more intelligent player than Millar witnessed 2 games ago when he ran too home after catching the popup cause the Boston pitcher forgot to cover home and stayed on the mound with a runner on third. I doubt that Millar would haave the wherewithall to have done that. I think Millar has Francona in his pocket somehow. Hell, in last nites game with guys on 2nd and 3rd and Millar up...I would have put in Olerud to hit...as it stands Millar blew it and Boston lost...what a doughhead that Francona is...Anyone got his dugout phone number so I can tune him in???

What is wrong with that Penguin Pinhead Francona...Millar is listed as starting again tonite! They have been losing everytime he plays lately...Olerud has the better defensive and hitting skills...screw it ...if he's that stupid ...I just can't take his stupidity anymore!!! :wtf: :shock: Guess Francona wants Boston to lose...mark my words!

I fully agree...he continues to play Millar instead of Olerud...I can't take his stupidity anymore!!! Plus he looks like a penguin...and keeps marching in a damned straight line without seemingly seeing potential??? :dunno:

Hi Guys and Gals...I'm just an old 60 year old widower living in London Ontario Canada...love baseball and have been following John Olerud since he started so now my team is the BOSOX! Here's just a simple comment...I really hate typing. Olerud should be playing every game from now on...excellent record for all the few full games he has played...maybe 28 to 30! Check out the stats...I can't find them only in my head. He's only 37 but runs like a snail with a limp! He is playing his best baseball ever and can continue to do so and help Boston repeat!!! It is my actual belief that had Olerud not injured his foot in the world series last year while with the Yankees so that he didn't play again, Boston would not have won the world series...that's how crutial I think he is and was. I do not understand that Tino guy at all! Any way GO SOX and GO Olerud!!!
