Bailey is sucking it right now.

It's cause by low potassium. Eat a banana for the next couple of days.

That was Bailey's out pitch

Is your eye twitching?

Oh please, move on. Stop living in the past. It's like you are pining for an old girlfriend.

He's an imbecile.

Lucky thing we got the insurance run.

Maybe Yeszir can ban Salty so he can't see all the insulting stuff on TS.

The tall man puts the ball in play for a 2 run single.

This will be sweet if we can pull this out. It will also burn up Rodney for tomorrow.

Do you think Escobar could have beaten Pedroia to the base?

Sanchez flat out sucks.

f***ing Loney is having a career year and he cost about $1 million.

He is the reason why we are ahead of them in the standings.

Damn!! I thought the ground out by Joyce in the 8th was the 3rd out. Itook a bathroom break and return to see the game tied. From a 6-0 first inning lead to a tied game in the bottom of the 9th. s***!

Good job by Breslow bailing out Lackey who was not sharp tonight.

Tall.

That's right. It is bizarre for people to have personal hatred of a public figure without knowing the person. Yet, there are those who hate Papelbon personally despite his admirable performance for our team. I agree with your post 100%.

I can't imagine how they will use him.

I never said that I dislike Ben. Criticizing moves or no-moves of Ben is different than hating the guy like you admittedly hate Papelbon. My opinions of Ben's performance are not colored by any personal like or dislike. Your reasoning may be consistent but it is flawed.

Who would want him if he blows this.

Fred, no doubt that after 2011, the owners decided that they had spent enough. There was no money left for Papelbon. That issue was beat to death on this forum. This time I brought him up in the context of an in-season salary dump from Philly if the Phils fall out of the race. If they ate a few million of his salary for the next couple of years, it wouldn't be a bad deal considering all of the dough that they have wasted in failing to find Paps replacement. Paps is a touchy suspect on this forum regardless of the context. There is an inexplicable amount of hatred for a guy who played a huge part in a World Championship and who brought us a lot of joy closing out over 200 wins. If you mention how he is doing for the Phillies, people say "that he is gone and get over it." If you reminisce about his days as a Red Sox, we are told to "stop pining.". I still reminisce about seeing Yaz, Tiant, and Rice. Should I "get over" them and "stop pining". I missed Carlton Fisk for the entire 10 or so years that he played with the White Sox. I can't help but remember the great players that played for us throughout the years. Heck, I miss Nomar and Manny too. So shoot me.

You have no credibility to comment on the issue, because you hate the guy. just sayin. Edit: When I play gotcha, I get you. Unlike your attempts.

The team had starting SS off the scrap heap and they had 2 rookies in the sarting rotation which equals a recipe for disaster. Add in Bobby V's nonsense and there was a disaster.

I think that scale is as good as any.
