We have had some good baseball conversation, and people like Spitball started what I thought would be a really good thread for pure baseball discussion, but the "Strategy" thread has gotten less interest than I expected. BTW: Bard looked like 2012 Bard yesterday. Walk and a HBP and 3 runs. Anyone get info on his velocity?

4 years ago was worse. More guys were missing including Pedroia and Ortiz.
-
I wasn't defending myself at all. Kings don't have to do that. I was just curious about these fans who you think are miserable when their teams win. It is an absurd notion to me, so I asked for some names to be attached. No names came back in response beyond a reference to talk radio callers, so I will just conclude that my assumption was corrct that it is an absurd notion.

As you know, I go to Spring Training every year. It pisses me off that I miss seeing a lot of players every 4th year because they are at the WBC. I would have liked to have Victorino and Xander this Spring.
-
Compared to past off seasons the fights on TalkSox have been far fewer and less vicious.
-
You like the tournament. We get it. Give it a rest.
-
Feel better. You are so quick to anger lately.
-
Boy, you are all worked up. Hot flashes hit at this time of night.
-
I am glad that there are none of those types on Talk Sox.
-
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.
