  1. His doctors are ironically prescribing fried chicken and beer to heal the ulcer.
  2. I can't constantly crow about being right. People get annoyed. I have to pick my spots. Predictions about Pedroia are easy. He always looks like total s*** before he goes on a tear. Let's hope it is a vintage Pedroia hot streak. He is, as Reggie used to call himself, the straw that stirs the drink.
  3. No TV at the Doctor's office? Get a new doctor!
  4. Someone IM or text BTR that today is a day game.
  5. Has any big name pitcher inked a long term extension at the trading deadline as part of a trade in his walk year? I don't think that is a possibility.
  6. The Red Sox according to my research are 13 wins and 13 Losses on my Wedding Anniversary. I got married in 1981 while baseball was on strike. My kids were born in the off season, and my parents passed away prior to Spring Training 2011. My family knows not to interfere with my Red Sox. They are very thoughtful that way. I'd like to climb over .500 for games played on my anniversary.
  7. It would be nice if he pitched up to half of the reputation he had when he was signed. He's never come close to expectations and he has done almost nothing for more than 3 years.
  8. You think that they might be back for the Yankee series at Fenway?
  9. If we don't acquire a starting pitcher, it will be very difficult to catch the Yankees. Our starting pitching is just not very good. Matsuzaka was a mirage tonight. I am not counting on seeing a lot of that from him.
  10. According to our homer announcers on Extra Innings, we are playing for the wild card.
  11. I predict that SFF will be yelling at umps and screaming about bitch hits by the second inning. Just kidding with you, SFF. You are a great fan and an entertaining and informative poster.:thumbsup:
  12. Why are you attacking me. What a dick!!
  13. Small sample size, but he is hitting .080 against lefties this season.
  14. He's going with the righty bats against the southpaw. Supposedly Lillibridge hits lefties pretty well, but his numbers this year against lefties are horrendous.
  15. It's not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog. I hand over the wallet.
  16. I am going by what I observed since Spring Training and his own words throughout that time. I didn't say that I observed what he did in AAA although I have seen some highlights of him hitting batters. All I am saying is that you don't shake the mental part of things that easily. If this was purely an arm slot issue, he'd be fixed already. I don't claim to know whether he is broken permanently at this point, but I don't think it is absurd to opine that the kid's head is probably mush right now. Not at all. Is he permanently broken? Only time will tell, but he wouldn't be the first to be beaten by the mental side of the game. You make me laugh, because you posit all sorts of theories about behind the scenes negotiations and player moves and the motivations of management etc. That's something you can't even observe, but you call this crazy armchair psychologist stuff. Get a grip. It's just opinion based on observation. SBF is the first one to happily admit he is wrong about this stuff, so there is no need to denigrate his opinion.
