    And those were the whole universe of options? Check the transaction list for that off season. Lot's of other pitchers changed teams. Bottom line is that it was Cherington's choice to give Bard a chance to start. He had no gun to his head and his balls were not in a vice. He made a very poor decision. You are making lots of excuses and rationalizations.
  2. a700hitter
    You and Doji are wrong. Did we need another starter? Yes. Did it have to be Bard? Absolutely, not. That was Cherrington's call. Surely there were other options than a guy who had zero success as a starter beyond college and who became a headcase and almost a lost cause trying to start in the lower minors. Cherrington is the GM. People don't compete to be a starter on some sign up sheet or just because they want to.

    You are changing the facts. No one disputes that Bard lobbied to start. So did Aceves. Cherington made the decision to let them compete for a job in ST. Aceves had the inside line on the job until the end of ST when Bailey got a boo boo and Aceves was asked to close. Dems the facts.
  4. a700hitter
    I think your recollection is correct.

    One of the only things that Bobby V was right about was that Bard was not a starter. There was no backing from the FO to pull the plug on the experiment. Ben Cherries was certainly complicit in the disastrous experiment. Bobby V let the kid take his turn, and when he imploded, he left him on the mound to completely embarrass himself and end the experiment. The kid was too stupid to be embarrassed by his performance. He thought he just needed a few adjustments before his next start. He was clueless, and he probably still is clueless.

    I sense a hostage exchange in the works.

    If Toronto hires Bobby V they could be the 2012 Red Sox.

    Many predicted the 2011 Red Sox to win it all. It was not at all funny when those predictions went wrong.

    If you could make the trains run on time and let us drink our sugary drinks, you could actually get elected.
  10. a700hitter
    We win again.

    I wish you were dictator of NY. The Long Island Rail Road has horrible on time performance. Seriously, it is will be the biggest factor in my eventual decision to retire from my current job.

    Bailey should buy Nava dinner. That had triple written all over it.
  13. a700hitter
    Nava is not terrible in RF.
  14. a700hitter
    I realize that dictator outranks self appointed ceremonial monarch.
  15. a700hitter
    I believe in equality.

    Didn't see this until after my last post. I will heed your word.

    What case? What point? Ohfer 2. Swoosh swoosh.

    Two have been playing that game, but I guess you can't count. Now, run along and have the cranberry juice. It is good for your flow.
  19. a700hitter
    Uh oh. I will have to rescind all of my kingly rulings. What do I do with my Royal Seal?
  20. a700hitter
    They just haven't realized that we can call ourselves whatever we want, but it doesn't mean anything. Fools.
  21. a700hitter
    It's merely a ceremonial title. I have no power except in the minds of other.
  22. a700hitter
    Trupe! A lot of those balls didn't reach the warning track.
  23. a700hitter
    I have read that cranberry juice is good for that.
  24. a700hitter
    The baseball has no chance against Ortiz... none. They have to be taken out of play after he crushes them.
  25. a700hitter
    Hater.
