  1. This is the second year of an 8 year deal. This was supposed to be the part of the contract where the team got the big returns. I think there is always a big concern about the back end of such a long contract, but to fall off a cliff in the second season is more than a bit concerning. We are running Youkilis out of town, but his OBP is .311 while Gonzo's is only .313. WTF are we mad at Youk about? We have this guy Gonzo tying us up with a huge contract for 6 more seasons.
  2. He was drafted in 2006. There are no 2006 stats for him, because my recollection is that they couldn't promote him from the instructional league in 2006. This kid was a project. It took 2 1/2 years to get him major league ready. They didn't just hand him the ball in the late innings and a reliever was born. They broke the guy down and rebuilt him. It took time. Unlearning and relearning muscle memory at this level takes time.
  3. I didn't mean to put words in your mouth. IMO, this experiment likely ruined him for 2012.
  4. The f***ing hitting genius, Agon is killing us. On the national broadcasts, they keep talking about his knowledge about hitting etc. You would think that he would have had figured this out by now. Some f***ing hitting genius!
  5. Nah, he's been rather sucky so far this season. Luck evens out after almost half of a season. He's not executing when he has to execute.
  6. I am waiting for Pedroia to break out any day. Gonzo is a complete mystery.
  7. They didn't work him at all.
  8. Oswalt with a 6 2/3 inning effort for the Rangers against the Rockies tonight giving up 1 run while striking out 6 and walking 1.
  9. He will break out on a tear very soon I think.
  10. He's been a bucket of s*** since the first half of last year. He was 1-3 withe a 5.88 ERA in the second half of 2011.
  11. Baseball is always befuddling. The Sox are hot. They are at home with their # 1 on the mound against a bucket of s*** pitcher. It should be a lock. Too many of these types of games forced me to give up betting on baseball.
  12. Another 7 pitch inning.
  13. They are making him look like Gregg Maddox.
  14. Our pitchers have to be leading the league giving up lead off doubles.
  15. We got all giddy the last few days, but we were playing the Cubs and the Marlins-- two horrendous teams.
  16. Your record with GTs has sucked lately.
  17. You would think that he would lie low for a little while.
  18. He has s***. We should be pummeling him.
  19. We are making this pig look like Roy Halladay. Come on already!
