  1. ^ Why is deliberate trolling permitted when the person brings nothing else to the table. Enough of him. Mods, ban him!!!:banned::banned:
  2. If the doctor's think that playing presents a risk of a full tear, by all means sit him, but if they feel it is not a risk, then he should be playing, because he is much better than Punto. Plus, he is a leader.
  3. The Yankees ruined Joba and Hughes shuttling them back and forth between the bullpen and rotation. Bard is a trampoline accident away from being a Joba-like disaster.
  4. The injury will heal as he plays. Drop him in the order for a while, but the team is much better off with a dinged up Pedroia than Punto on HGH. He has a sore thumb, but he can still play and swing the bat -- just not up to his standards. I don't care what his stats are right now. His presence on the field is extremely important to the team. The hits will come.
  5. The guy is a hitting fool. This is what he needs to do if he is going to stick. He needs to get on base much more than the other guys-- and he is doing that!
  6. His bat is supercharged!!! He has to play.
  7. The whole sports media is out of control with the rumor-mongering.
  8. Pedroia like this is still better than Punto.
  9. Pedroia is back in the lineup tonight and so is Middlebrooks. Youk is sitting.
  10. I like to give free reign or rein. A King should know when he has no clothes.
  11. Where have you been? Good to see you.
  12. VA sighting!!! She must be taking a break from her shame with SBF!!
  13. You need to go to the hospital emergency room immediately.
  14. A lot of people wanted to trade Ellsbury for Lincecum who is looking like a shot pitcher at this point.
  15. True, but Ortiz would have had to sit and wait until late January early February for such a situation to develop. If he was a free agent, when that happened, the presence of Fielder would have depressed Ortiz market and vice versa, so we don't know how that would turn out. The fact is that Ortiz had plenty of time to generate interest by other teams. He did not. If the Sox had not offered arb, they could have locked him up for 2 years for $18 million. I think that would have bee a reasonable number considering he had no higher offers from other teams.
  16. All the big market teams either had DH's or wanted the DH position to rotate among a few aging position players. There were no big market teams willing o invest in an aging dedicated DH. There was a lot of discussion about it during the off season, and Ortiz had time before arb was offered and before the deadline for accepting to shop himself. He came up with nothing. Am I certain, that no one would have made him an offer? No, but I think it would have been a very safe bet. I didn't see any team that had the resources and the need for him. The Dunn example does not help your argument. It hurts it, because the White Sox after signing Dunn, were another big market team with no need for Ortiz.
  17. Crawford went 4-4 last August 6th. In back to back games in May he went 4-4 and 4-5.
