    The idiot punched a door and might have broken his hand. It will be tough to trade him now.

    We just won our third in a row, so why are you furious?

    There were a lot of guys that I would have preferred: Kuroda, Jackson and Gio. They were all good values, and the first two were available late into the off season.

    He was pretty good. In 1972, I think he got overused and blew out his arm. He was never the same again, but it gave Tiant the opportunity to start and he threw 6 shutouts in something like 14 starts. Wow!!

    Why do so many people act like he was the only pitcher who changed teams this off season. He was just the last one available, and now we know why. Many others changed teams that would have upgraded our rotation.

    The little guy is making things happen.

    Randy Johnson was a sour puss prick and so was Steve Carlton and on and on, but you don't kick them off your team for their attitude.

    It was a pretty wild year.

    My recollection is that the Yankees came to town a couple of days later, and the fans were still protesting the trade. I think that I heard about it on the Yankee radio broadcast.

    I remember that fans protested the trading of Hawk Harrelson in 1969.

    They went back into the clubhouse where they shared some chicken and beer.

    I think when you have hit into 3 DPs in the first 5 innings, I try to stay out of another one with the slowest runner at bat. The criticism of Bobby V isn't this one instance. It's that he sits on his hands game after game. He really doesn't need team signs. He's very much like Terry with the lack of moves or plays.

    I don't think the percentages were stacked one way or the other. The speed could have caused some havoc. They may not have let Crawford take the base uncontested. They might have decoyed throwing through but had Jeter run in for the throw and try to get Ells at the plate. The DP percentage with Gonzo were probably higher than with Ross. The HR percentage was probably in Gonzo's favor because of the short RF porch. I don't think the percentages were greatly stacked one way or the other. If Salty or Punto was up behind Gonzo, you keep the runners anchored, but in this situation I run them.

    Well, as it turns out, running him couldn't have worked out any worse. I would have run him.

    What's behind Red Sox negativity is the Sox pathetic play this year-- nothing else. There have been almost no bright spots and almost no hot streaks where they have strung together wins.

    Really? What was our best offer -- the fat bullpen cop, because the White Sox basically gave up a bag of balls?
  20. a700hitter
    At the point when it was 1st and 3rd with one out it was a slam dunk that they should have sent the runner at 1st. They had 2 of the fastest guys in the baseball on the bases. If Crawford goes, there is no way they throw throught to 2nd base with Ellsbury on 3rd base or Ells will score. It should have been 2nd and 3rd after the first pitch to AGon. The Yankees would have had to play the IF in and who knows what happens from there. We do know that Agon could not ground into a DP. I think Bobby V's problem is that he is always thinking a couple of batters, if not innings, ahead, so he does a bad job of managing in the moment.

    Do these jokers at least watch these guys play or are they just crunching meaningless low level minor stats and combining that with professional scouting reports. If that is what they are doing, they are nothing more than a useless secondary source with a bias.
  22. a700hitter
    Me too. That's because we are fans. We can always find some hope to keep us watching the games. It was against every fiber of my fandom to vote to sell. I want them to make a run at the championship every year. I just don't see the 2012 team as having what it takes to play consistently good ball to make a sustained run. I'll be shocked and pleasantly surprised if f they run off 10 wins in the next 12 games.
  23. a700hitter
    I really like this kid Ciraico. Give him the SS job.
  24. a700hitter
    Freakin 4 DP s killed us.

    It looks like Bard could be back as the set up man fairly soon.
