  1. I'd like a rocking chair. I could burn some calories while watching baseball.
  2. You have decoded FO speak. Congrats.:thumbsup:
  3. Toward the end of his Yankee tenure, Joe Torre said that he took the losses harder than when he was younger.
  4. Hey Buddy, once again we played to a hard fought draw. You always have the superior offense, and I had the better pitching. We built 2 entirely different types of teams. Yet, people say that we agree on everything.
  5. Bryce Harper did a Peter Reiser last night running face first into an OF wall. He cut up his face, but the kid must have a hard head, because he didn't suffer a concussion. Pete Reiser was a star OFer for the Brooklyn Dodgers who won a batting title in 1941. He was projected to be an all time great, but his career was ruined and cut short from the effects of running head first into too many OF walls.
  6. Skanks got shutout by Masterson in game 1 against Cleveland-- 1-0 final.
  7. It is unbelievable what peple will do. As for the barking, Beagles are known for their howling.
  8. We rescued a crippled dog from a Shelter in West Va. She's an Australian Shepherd/mutt. She is a sweetheart, but she was a little unruly at the beginning, but is great now. However, she is a big barker.
  9. I am not seeing any consistent improvement from him. He has a good AB or 2 and then he looks awful for a couple of games.
  10. Even if we play better than .500 ?
  11. Definitely not. That is why I also ordered the additional walk.
  12. The challenge for the Red Sox is that the MFY's continue to roll despite crippling injuries; the Orioles may be the best balanced team in the division and the Rays will probably not continue to play this poorly.
  13. Fred, As King of TalkSox I decree that you must take your dog for an additional walk each dayn that you give it an extra treat and a belly rub after a Sox loss. The poor doggie shouldn't be stressed while you are watching baseball.
  14. But preferable to him being angry with his wife, family and dog.
  15. Fred, you may be somewhat senior to me, but the 30 additional years of fandom have taught me to expect frustration from our Red Sox. Although people think we agree on everything, as Spring Training was ending your fandom was getting the better of your reason. You were upbeat and optimistic about the teams chances. I predicted a 4th place finish (possibly last if things went terribly wrong). The team is in a tailspin right now, but they are doing better than I had expected so it isn't eating me up. Do yourself a favor. Lower your expectations for this team. I think the best we can expect is a competitive team that will still be in the hunt for the second WC when September rolls around.
  16. He hit the wall very hard. Bruised ribs will put you on the shelf for a while too. They don't need to be broken. It will hurt like hell when he swings. He was a gamer to stay in the game after the injury. That's more than the pampered princess Ellsbury would have done. I guess this means that Nava will be the everydau RFer for a while. Hopefully, he keeps up the good work in the field and he continues to hit. I expect that Carp and Gomes wil share LF. Our OF D will take a hit in Victorino's absence.
  17. A healthy Hanrahan was a dominating pitcher. Batters were helpless against him. That is the pitcher that we expected. I suspect that his elbow was starting to come apart last year hence his spike in walks and poor performance at the end of 2012. Without him and Bailey the pen will be a mess. They need to get a healthy closer, or we will witness a lot of late game fiascos, and with this inconsistent offense we can't afford not to lock down late leads.
  18. The pen is a mess with both Hanrahan and Bailey out. De La Torre is garbage.
  19. Middlebrooks' hitting has been very disappointing thus far.
  20. Bells, you are my kind of fan.
  21. You twisted kook.
  22. To tell them that they stink?
  23. Oh, I recognized the quote. See my profile. I have a Fever Pitch quote in my profile.
  24. Someone in that locker room should have stood up and told that stupid inbred fat jackass that when Mo tells someone to shut up, they shut up.
  25. Yep, that's right. That's why us old guys are so cyncal. It's much easier if you expect them to break your heart.
