I've been back from Fort Myers since last Wednesday, but I had some business in Boston on Wednesday and Thursday. I finally got home on Friday.
-
I'll let Fred speak for himself. At least you put a name to the accusation. Although 07 and VA make it seem like there is a legion of such posters and I was wondering who they are. That is why I referred to them as phantoms.
-
And you have no names, just conspiracy theories?
-
I am an entertaining must read.
-
I believe that you post was in the context of responding to a post by 07 who expressed the opinion that certain posters would not be happy if the Red Sox made the playoffs. I was just wondering who those posters are. If you don't know the answer, maybe 07 does. Personally, I laugh at the notion of such posters in the minds of 07 and you.
-
Who are these phantoms? I'll be happy if in 2013 we return to respectability and play some meaningful games in September. I have said that since last season ended. So, who are these fans that would not be thrilled to make the playoffs?
-
Dempster is the ugly girl in the bar and it is closing time. That is why you are okay with it.
-
It's the same issue. It's not like we would be criticizing him for taking opposite sides of the same argument. We need starting pitching depth. Cherries is just realizing this-- a little late IMO.
-
I don't hate or love FO people. They don't play the game. Cherries record thus far has been undistinguished. His hands were tied last lear by payroll considerations so he was given a pass. This year he had a lot of flexibility with payroll-- a clean slate, and he really has not done much to get excited about. We will have to see how the season turns out, but to come to the conclusion un March 19th that they need some starting pitching depth.. well duh!
-
Thanks for reminding me. I feel much better.
-
I will be glad if Iglesias finally gets his shot. I am already tired of Mr. Glass Part II with Stephen Drew. We should have never signed the fragile younger brother with the mangled ankle and eggshell skull.
-
I agree. That is how he looks, but he is one of those guys who hits us better than he hits the rest of the league. Add in the ridiculous short RF porch at Yankee stadium and I stand by my prediction that he will hurt us in the opening series if he goes to the Yanks. He would be a big improvement over Dan Johnson.
-
Cherries is a bit of a slow learner. Depth issues have been evident the entire off season. This guy is seriously short bus material.
-
If we cut Overbay when camp breaks, my two predictions are that he will be in the Yankee starting lineup against us in the opening series against us, and he will tear us up.
-
I think they will bring Overbay north regardless of how Nava is doing. If Overbay doesn't make the team, he will opt out of his contract and undoubtedly go to the Ya,kees who have a complete nobody journeyman penciled in at first base.
-
Good point.
-
I didn't give or deny credit to Theo in my post for 2004 and 2007 . I just tried to state the facts. He didn't have autonomy until after the 2007 season. How much credit he gets for 2004-2007 is something that we really can't determine, because LL was holding the reins tightly. Certainly, Theo gets credit, but we just don't know how much. He was reportedly against the trade that brought in Beckett and Lowell, significant players on the '07 team. Now, it is his show in Chicago. He will get all the credit and all the blame.
-
Theo inherited a stacked team built by Duke. He was a puppet in his early years when the Sox won their championships. When he was given more autonomy and control, he made one bad and expensive move after another that sowed the seeds of the team's downfall. He will get his chance to prove his worth in Chicago.
-
He is an accident waiting to happen.
-
He's been throwing more strikes than last year. That is a huge step forward, but the dominating velocity has not been there yet.
-
You will just shift you vendetta to another of the posters on your hate list telling them to stop with their opinions, or criticizing those posters for being critical of something about the Red Sox or their organization. You are a self appointed censor.
-
I had to edit the post you quoted. I left out "not" --changing the meaning significantly.
-
Good advice said the pig.
-
Nice, maybe his new approach is starting to pay dividends. His AB s have been much improved this spring-- much better contact.
-
We did, but I stepped away for a couple of hours and I was in mid post when I left.
