  1. Bailey is like a re-run of Heathcliff Slocumb if anyone here remembers that bum.
  2. Tom Caron to Jim Rice. If the Red Sox have a 1 run lead in the 9th inning tomorrow night" Jim Rice without missing a beat: "No." This bum has already given up 6 HRs -- a career high.
  3. No ballpark is big enough for this guy.
  4. Bradford on Bailey: "He runs into problems with his fastball. He gets too amped up. After two batters, Bradford on Bailey: "I think you'll be seeing changes before too long." Amped up? How about he sucks a bag full of dicks!!
  5. Two batter two runs. Game over. Put a loss in the books. Don't worry fellas. He's a proven closer just going through a rough patch. Yeah f***ing right.
  6. This is a huge opportunity for Bailey to take the glare of attention off of himself. It's a big ballpark. They have to crush it to knock it out of the yard. The big hitters are out of the way
  7. I hope you are right. Every time I get encouraged and think he has turned a corner, he goes back into the funk.
  8. Once you start finding positives in occasional hard hit outs, you are well down the path of failure.
  9. After his last AB, Middlebrooks is batting .192. Good God!! How long can they stick with him?
  10. Nice running catch by Jackson.
  11. I wouldn't know where to start.
  12. No need to yell. I wasn't refering to you. Plus, I have already conceded the Papelbon vs. Bailey debate. I gave up hours ago.
  13. I would have been pretty upset if the Sox were 10 games under .500.
  14. You had to re-type that rather than quote it, because it is not in this thread... right?
  15. No he didn't.
  16. I don't think Tazawa has the raw overpowering stuff to be a closer. He always had good command from an early age, and he has decent secondary pitches. I just don't think he has dominating closer stuff. As for Uehara, I have never understood how he can throw 89 mph fastballs by hitters, but he does. I like him as a late inning arm, but I don't trust his stuff enough to have him close on a regular basis. Miller has overpowering stuff, and when he has his stuff together, he can be untouchable. His problem is having consistent command of his stuff. Of the internal options, he would be the first trial at closer. The second option would be Alex Wilson. I have liked what I have seen from him in his appearances.
  17. He'd prefer to just be disagreeable and insulting.
  18. He's not new. Dutch has been banned under at least a couple of usernames since Papelbon left the Sox.
  19. Don't start misusing ironic. You will get YOTN all bent out of shape. The "I am always right" stuff is schtick as you have pointed out. If you realize it is schtick, what is the big deal? It's better than your nast prick schtick. I have admitted to being wrong about alot of things in this forum. If you read more carefully, you might pick up on it, but apparently your second language reading skills are not up to par with those of my friend Iortiz. I am right most of the time, but I think most knowledgeable fans are right most of the time, but you are convinced that I am wrong all of the time, which detracts from your credibility. As for me, it has always been all right with me if someone disagrees with my sports opinions. As for your statement that it is fine if people disagree with you, I'll have to disagree with that statement. Are you fine with that?
  20. Is it fine, because it doesn't seem like you are fine with people disagreeing with you. I may be wrong about that, but that is the vibe I am picking up.
  21. There is no campaign. I have been convinced that Papelbon should never set foot in Fenway unless he is wearing an opponent's uniform or he buys a ticket.
  22. I am pretty sure that you answered this in response to SFF's post a page or two back. See below: http://www.talksox.com/forum/851848-post341.html But somehow, people think that you have reading comprehension problems.
  23. I'm not a professional psychologist, but I would say that their interest in you is a bit obsessive and borderline unhealthy.
  24. Exactly, we have been repeatedly asked and we have repeatedly anwered these same questions since Papelbon left. We have not convinced certain people, so there is no point in continuing to argue about it. I shouldn't speak for you, but I am conceding that Bailey is our answer for closer and that the FO should avoid all discussions regarding Papelbon. Apparently, even agreement with some folks is met with derision and insults. Dutchy is a messed up dude. You can't even agree with him.
