We didn't need him last night or last week against your Yankees Riverman, but we would be much stronger with him than without him----so on that you are mostly right. Pena has stepped up nicely for us so the loss hasn't really hurt us yet. We think we can hold on for another month. I certainly hope so.

Rivernator, I knew this was coming. I said when it happened these injuries take a hell of a lot longer to heal than what is stated at the time. Forget early June; Crisp won't be ready until late June or early July. This is going to take more time. My anger is with the Red Sox management who wore rose colored glasses while trying to snow us on how quickly Coco would be back. Any baseball fan who has followed the game for any length of time knows these injuries don't no heal fast at all. Hell, Jason Werth of the Dodgers got in in the wrist in the FIRST game of ST in 2005 and is still not able to play.

Kilo, fine you wait to see for yourself. I've have seen for myself and I want to see this guy no more. I can run off the times the guy struck out with the bases loaded, left a couple of runners in scoring position, made a critical error in the field or threw to the wrong base. Cubs, Marlins and most Dodger fans seen enough of this guy to last a lifetime. Your turn will come, though not for too long a spell I hope. -
Kilo, if someone wants to bet you on that, then take it. I don't think he will see the inside of a Red Sox uniform either, but at the same time I hope I don't see any more pickups like Hee Seop Choi. He seems to fascinate the Red Sox brass but you can dress up a pig to look like a race horse but still the pig is a pig. Choi must never never never be a part of the Red Sox starting lineup because they like three other teams will regret that decision.

SCM, I give credit to Shea for saying he would like to play again for the Red Sox. OK, I am biased but who the hell wouldn't want to play for the Red Sox, play in the best baseball venue around, for the best fans, in the best baseball city around? OK, you say Damon, but here's a prediction. He will one day say he misses the Red Sox just as Shea does. You are right in one thing. Right now we are better off with Mike and Youk but what happens next year or the next? I didn't like the way Shea left but I think he was hurt and reacted like a jerk. You should have seen my on the golf course today. I can emphatize with Shea. Sometimes we would all be better just to keep our damn mouths shut.

Hey Keep the Faith, Don Orsillo has posted on Sons of Sam Horn and the Red Sox forum so it was not inconceivable that he might post on here. So your wow shouldn't such a surprise. At least I'll give you credit for not trying to get personal with me as that other ******* did. Besides, when you stop and think of it why would a poster take the handle of some announcer instead of being original and having one of his own?
-
Guapo, you said it all and for the most part most people would tend to agree with you. I think Shea could help us, though. Where I totally disagree with you is your take on Snow and Choi. Snow's best days are behind him and we will get little if any hitting from him this year. Defense? Yes!! Hitting? Not very much. As for Hee Seop Choi, I have watched this guy for the better part of two seasons and he is for the birds. He cannot hit decent pitching, strikes out a ton, is a fielder with absolutely no range at all, and is a pretty dumb player who makes all sorts of mental mistakes in the field and on the bases. If the Red Sox bring up this three time loser (Cubs-Marlins-Dodgers) they will regret it deeply.
-
Kilo, I was responding to his average against lefties which is something like 220 or so. That seems strange since his problem has never been against lefties but righthanders. That is the balancing out that I meant. Face it, he is not going to keep hitting 368 against righties the rest of the season. Pitchers will make adjustments. When the average against RH's goes down, we certainly hope it goes up against southpaws. If not, we may be stuck with a white elephant.
-
Schill, chew on this one. I think it is very possible that with guys like Youkalis, Lowell, Loretta, Nixon, and Pena, we might have some guys have good years average wise, and maybe even with the RBI's (which is what really counts), and hit a lot less homers than last year. I don't think we are the power hitting team that some others are but we can hit for average and drive in the runs to give us as good a hitting offense as most other teams in baseball.
-
Well it would help if he would start balancing it out starting tomorrow. Kind of remember a guy named Randy Johnson that we are facing. Good time to start, wouldn't you agree?
-
SCM, awkward hell! She does look like my Christine.

Hey Riverman, Damon's defection to your team upset Red Sox fans simply because he said he would NEVER sign with the Yankees if he ever left the Red Sox. He said he never could bring himself to do it since he loved Boston, the Red Sox, the Red Sox fans and the organization. Well we all know happened. He lied through his teeth and that is what got Red Sox fans in a lather. Having said that it is my opinion we have to turn the page and get on with our program. We have to take care of your team in order to go all the way this year and that will be hard enough without having to get bogged down with anti Damon venom. We Red Sox fans think we can take the Yankees this year but we can't if we spend too much time concentrating on Johnny Damon. He is yours and we all have to love on.
-
Bosox Girl, if that picture is of you I have a little secret for you. You look a lot like my daughter Christine.
-
My gripe about the Hillenbrand trade is why couldn't we get something better than the piece of trash we got for him? Kim was as useless as tits on a bull and his flipping the fans off was really a PR disaster. I hope Theo never makes a trade like that again.
-
That's neat Goalstopper. Youk is having a good year and someone hears he might be traded. Whoever said such a thing, especially if it came from the front office, ought to have his ass kicked from here to Kenmore Square. Youk should have been in the lineup last year; if he had we would have won the division. As for Shea, the guy can flat out hit. It depends if enough time has elapsed and whether Theo would take him back. He took Seanez back and if that isn't an unpleasant kick in the ass I don't know what is.

RSF, welcome aboard. You will like this site. Almost all of the guys on board, save two, are good people and they know their Red Sox. Looking forward to conversing with you this season.
-
Monsterman, I'm a lover, not a fighter, but that smart alecky post and personal reference was uncalled for. My fault for believing this Orsillo guy in the first place, HOF did not have to get personal. Anyway on to better stuff.
-
MannyHof, listen numuts, you don't ever ever want to get personal with me on this board or any other board we post on. I gave the guy the benefit of the doubt because I know that Orsillo has posted on the Red Sox Board and Schilling on Sons of Sam Horn. You may want to play the role of smartass but I would walk very softly from here on in when you make any reference to any post I make. You want to disagree with what I say, fine, that is your perogotive, but you get personal with me again and will not like what you get back in kind.
-
Didn't think so my friend, but why the hell would a guy take a handle like that? Just for the hell of it I gave him the benefit of the doubt and some ******* on board here got personal with me. Well, I have to answer him myself. Anyway, no longer do I give anyone any benefit of the doubt.
-
Don, this may be a stupid question but are you the same guy I see and hear on MLB.Com for the Red Sox. If so, welcome aboard. I love hearing you and Rem. I only hope you get as nervous and uptight as I do watching the Red Sox. Man, I love that team but they drive me wild and mad and crazy and out of my mind. Use whatever influence you have to get them to have a laugher once in awhile. Anyway, if you are THE D.O. keep up the good work and let's get the Orioles this weekend.

You do not play CF with your feel directly parallel to home plate. You never play that way. You play centerfield at a slight angle, and for me that was my right foot in front of my left at a 45 degree angle since I am a lefty thrower. For righties it is the same. That way you can cross over at the moment the ball is hit and still have time to get in positon to catch the ball as well as move back on it if it suddenly gets out there faster that you would normally expect. I never midjudged a ball as a CF, not once. I did in LF a few times. Then, again, I hated left field. In 1957 when I led my 15-16 year old YMCA Baseball team in hitting, hits, stolen bases, and fielding, I sometimes played left when one of our big shot players would show up occasionally. That is, until they saw the difference in my performance when playing the two spots. As a LF I hit 236; as a CF I hit 423. End of story.
-
Thanks Rivernator. You said it well. If you have range and can get a good jump on the ball CF is really the easiest of the outfield positions. I reveled in CF, did ok in right, and was lost in LF. I never thought CF was anything but an easy position to play. You could see and judge everything.
-
Schill, look at baseball history; some of your greatest players were RF's--Ruth, Aaron, F. Robinson, Kaline, F. Alou, Sosa; the list goes on and on. Today, there are a whole slew of solid rightfielders. You need a guy who judge strange trajections of hit balls and have a solid arm to play out there. In CF, you can carry a Defensive player who can hit adequately. You also see balls come off the bat evenly. Believe me, it is a very easy position to play as long as you can get a good jump on the ball. They had to move me from LF where I was mediocre at best to CF where for three years when I was a teenager I was an All Star out there on my amateur teams.
-
Hey guys, let's give some credit where credit is due. I am still somewhat leery of Pena, but the guy has done the job for us so far. He is hitting inthe clutch and showing power, and he can play a decent CF. Fact is, CF is the easiest OF position to play. I ought to know; that was my position. I was fine in RF, too, when I played there but I absolutely hated left field and did not play well there at all. Pena has problems in right field right now. I know the feeling from my LF experiences.
