  1. Sarcasm and ridicule can be a real pisser except for the targets of that so-called humor. None of it is good natured.
  2. Back then it was a special treat to see players from the other league. There was no interleague play and no MLB extra innings package or ESPN. Gibson may have been the most intimidating pitcher that I have seen. Brock was a demon on the bases. He could steal at will. I think he had 7 SB s in that series. We couldn't keep him off the bases. Spud, don't forget that from 2007 to 2013 we got to watch a baserunner who was almost as exciting as Brock. That was a real treat. This guy Billy Hamilton is in a class of his own on the bases. He is exciting to watch.
  3. If he isn't getting on base at a rate above replacement level, he has no other tools to keep him in the majors.
  4. I fixed it for you Spud.
  5. But along with that comes a heavy dose of insults and sarcasm directed at other posters. My ignore feature will spare me.
  6. But sarcastically mocking other posters is so much fun.
  7. They didn't call you a dick. I did.
  8. I think Lackey had a bit of a dead arm his last couple of starts. The last time out against the Skanks he had a case of porch-itis. He'll rebound tonight and Pineda is due for a dead arm game.
  9. Bring the positive mojo. Keep Ells off the bases.
  10. I agree. Cole instigated the whole thing after he got owned. I have no problem with Gomez. He plays his own style and doesn't apologize or back down.
  11. RSFL, there wasn't a single poster making the argument that User stated. He's just ridiculous.
  12. Ells will be with them for 7 years. I am not going to close the door on them for the next 7 seasons.
  13. On paper, the pitching matchups may not favor us, but I like our chances the next 2 nights. Also, would someone go get Victorino and bring him to Fenway tonight so he will be there for tomorrow night's game.
  14. I don't care if Bradley becomes the next DiMaggio. It bothers me whe one of our stars ends up with the Yankees, and I don't care that the FO was correct for passing on Ells from a financial standpoint. That business aspect doesn't comfort me when I am watching him run all over the bases against us and making running catches. Admittedly, it is an emotional thing, but that's how I feel about losing one of ours to the Skanks. If he can't run in 3 years I will still be upset that he played for them, especially if he helps them win a Championship. So, people can point to all the metrics they want. He's a great player that came up through our system and helped us win 2 Championships, and I never in my long history saw a Sox player run like that and cause so much excitement on the base paths. Now, he is with my hated enemy, and it bothers me.
  15. Yeah they are currently comparable. Plus, if we kept Ells, we'd still have Bradley,and the Skanks wouldn't have either of them.
  16. It will not give me any comfort if he falls apart in 3 years if he helps the Skanks win a championship. It will not be a consolation for me.
  17. Our D sucks. The left side of the IF is a sieve with no range. Our OF has no range. We just play sloppy.
  18. 118 pitches are just too much. I'd rather burn out Capuano or Badenhop and protect the big stud Lester.
  19. The 7 run rule has become orthodoxy around the majors. I just don't get it.
  20. After the Roberts error, he should have been taken out. He was gassed. Instead he let Lester give up 2 more runs. I just don't get it.
  21. I don't like him going this many pitches in 5 innings. It's not his night. Ice him up and he'll have a better game next time out.
