    Just for the record, I don't think I ever called you a "ballwasher". Second, based on your post, you are probably not a ballwasher. I don't know if you aspire to ballwasher status, but I hate to break the news to you. You are not doing a very good job at establishing ballwasher credibility.

    I think Wainwright has had 2 TJ surgeries. We will get him after his 3rd TJ and he'll be called depth.

    Last off season when they did nothing to improve or starting pitching, we were told that it was a prudent non-move, because there would be a treasure trove of available aces this off season. Well, it didn't turn out that way. It never does. Instead, we spent $26 million on Dempster. Wow! Brilliant.

    The End.

    Eh closers? That's a tough argument, although Did Radatz had a year or 2 worth considering.

    There's no need for me to engage with you any further.
  7. a700hitter
    You are dense. That sums it up.

    He didn't call anyone a pollyanna.

    RSFL, I just get tired of the guy insulting me, and then saying he is calling me out on a baseball question. We can all read. I made a comment expressing my opinion of the RedSox off season. I didn't inult him. He can go manage his wooden shoe league and f*** off. I'm too old to waste time trying to get along with jackasses.:D I don't engage with stupid and obnoxious. How is your research paper going? There are a ton of funny stories about Williams if you want to work some of them into the paper.

    ^MVP pushing all the hot buttons trying to bait SBF. Fred, resist this sophomoric and transparent attempt at baiting you in hopes of getting you banned.

    Look back at the exchange. Are you stoned? I made a comment. You responded with an insult and the question you asked me was this: I didn't interpret that as a baseball question, so no baseball answer was given. You can't be so stupid as to think that is a baseball question and not see that as just an insult.

    f*** off.Learn how to ask a question without insulting someone.

    The three great icons of the 40's and 50's were Williams, DiMaggioand Musial. I have a bat signed by Williams and a ball signed by Musial. Stuff signed by DiMaggio is real pricy, but eventually I will get something signed by him.

    The real rub for me is that I don't see a high talent level on this staff, question marks aside. Other than the top 2, I don't see a lot of talent. The top 2 will have to win virtually every time they take the ball to keep this team competitive.

    I already admitted that other Red Sox players were greater than Yaz, and I agree that Teddy Ballgame was the best of all. Jimmy Fox would be another better than Yaz. My point is that the impact of Yaz and 1967 on the franchise. That season led by Yaz changed the trajectory of the fortunes of the Red Sox helping turn it into one of the greatest franchises in sports for almost the last 45 years. I never said that Yaz was the greatest RedSox player, nevermind greater than Williams, so I don't know where our disagreement is.

    I'll have to go with the recollections of the players who played with Yaz that year. I believe that George Scott called it the greatest year by any player in any year. Reggie Smith said: Manager Dick Williams also maintained that he "never saw a player have a season like that." He said that Yaz was the perfect player that year. Williams played for the Brooklyn Dodgers in the 1950's and saw his share of greats as a player and manager. These guys maintained this opinion years after 67 was a distant memory. Also, Dick Williams and Yaz were far from personal friends or friendly acquaintances, yet Williams always maintained his high praise of Yaz's 1967 season. After Tony C went down that year, Yaz put that team on his shoulders and carried them to the finish. I'll also have to go with Bob Ryan and Peter Gammons with regard to the importance of 1967 in the history of the Red Sox franchise.

    It's amusing that you are referencing my response to a serially banned poster who came back with the sole intent of baiting and causing problems. He didn't even last for the remainder of that day before getting banned again. I am happy to engage you when you are not acting like that guy. But maybe in your case I should implement a minimum IQ requirement before responding. My time is too valuable to waste on idiots.
  19. a700hitter
    I corrected your post^

    Of course you explained that they did the smartest thing, because you are personally unimaginative, have no ideas of your own, and blindly support the FO at every turn. If you had asked me what I would have done, I would have been happy to share my ideas. but what would be the point when you already know what I think and what I would think in every situation. The fact that you think so is a perfect example of being asinine.

    Yes, he does deserve credit for losing the 50 lbs. How did he do it? Was he on Dancing with the Horse-faced Stars?
  22. a700hitter
    Kershaw is another pipe dream for some Red Sox fans. The Dodgers will not let him sniff the open market.
  23. a700hitter
    You are right about that. Since we have had him, he has stunk everywhere.
  24. a700hitter
    I do remember the thread where Bud Light was being blamed for Lackey stinking.

    I can't count how many times some over the hill player showed up in camp after losing a ton of weight and everyone got their hopes up that he would recapture his youth. Almost none of them do, but almost all of them recapture the weight eventually.
