  1. There are lots of critics. Who are the two biggest?
  2. Maybe we should wait for someone to say that before we start worrying about how we will react to it. Why borrow trouble?
  3. Everyone should ease their minds. There are no signs of a 2011 collapse. I think that they have more wins this month than they had in all of September 2011. The problems with that team were starkly evident to anyone who wasn't willfully blind. We were rolling absolute garbage cans to the mound three out of every 5 games and Lester and Beckett were underperforming too. They had no chance to win at all in 60% of their games. The bullpen got completely gassed because our starters stunk, and our #4 hitter was mired in a second half power outage. Add on top of it all that the team didn't seem to have any fight and it was a complete tsunami-like disaster. None of that stuff is going on now. The team is hitting on all cylinders. They are fighting through everything. Also, in the long history of the Red Sox, they have never blown a September lead this large-- not even in 2011. We can just enjoy the rest of the season and debate who we want to play in the post season.
  4. I think you have enough to worry about worrying about yourself. Leave everyone else alone.
  5. It's only the first week of school. By October, he will not be able to find the broom.
  6. No, not serious at all. Just giving you the business, but tongue in cheek. We don't have a tongue in cheek smiley. We need more smileys. RSFFL, I am rarely serious on TalkSox. Read my posts with that in mind and you will get what I mean.
  7. I was not being serious? My post is completely ridiculous and full of sarcasm. I enjoyed watching J_E make the superstitious types lose their minds. I thought it was very funny. Lighten up, son.
  8. yes, and I have tugged on my left ear before every game winning rally. You can all feel free to tug on your ears or anything else during the games. It will not hurt my mojo. After every Red Sox loss the GT is up for grabs. There is no rotation. J_E has proved that the rotation was bogus.
  9. J_E mojo!!! They were just trying to hijack the TalkSox GT Forum. Cocky bastards. They were very dispensable. Buh Bye.
  10. Carp is 2013 version of Dalton Jones. Nice win!!
  11. I edited my post to correct my typo. It's a meaningless expression.
  12. I heard that you were a bit fugly, so a beard would work for you. LOL!! It would be a crime to cover up my face with stuff that grows wild on my balls. Plus, my beard would be grey, and that just is too old of a look. I type this as I consciously don't stroke any body part.
  13. Leaving the GT mojo? LOL!!
  14. PH Grand Slam for Carp!! Wow!!
  15. Did you just say "change the calculus"? Seriously?
  16. IMO unless your beard is a religious/cultural necessity they should only be grown to cover up an ugly or defective face. A well-groomed beard is preferable to that unshaven scruffy Hollywood look. If you are too lazy to groom a nice beard shave that s*** off your face. You look like a lazy jackass. And get off of my lawn!
  17. I wish they had given a little more notice on this. I would really like to be there to see the unveiling. Boston baseball owes an eternal debt of gratitude to Yaz and the '67 team. He may not have been the greatest player, but he breathed life into a dead franchise and Boston Baseball was reborn.
  18. Koji is in an incredible hot streak. No one even reaches base on the guy. I have to put this streak of excellence right up there with a couple of historic seasons that I have seen-- Eck when he had an ERA less than 1 and about 50 saves and the other was Willie Hernandez for the Tigers when he won the CY Young and MVP. That's how good he has been.
  19. Wow, Buch has been in dry dock for 93 days and it all started with sleeping on his arm the wrong way.
  20. Good analysis. The surpirsing thing about Nava is not that he can he can hit, but that he made himself into an adequate option in Rf and 1B as well as LF.
  21. Very impressive, especially since our #3 hitter is having an off year, and our #4 hitter missed a month.
  22. That was some group of players, but at least they went down fighting. The Yankees were our equal offensively, but they had the X factor in the pen-- Gossage. That was the one piece that we couldn't match, but we left him hanging on for dear life in that 1 game playoff. Their 99 wins is the most that I have seen. 2011 went down like dogs in very embarrassing fashion.
  23. I can see Fred at a game wearing face paint.
