  1. The fan in all of us came out when the kid did well. People were saying that he was for real etc. Maybe he is for real, but not for now.
  2. It wasn't a phony deal or anything. Without the loan, he had his own money at risk.
  3. Any team with Keppinger as the clean up hitter is not a good offensive team.
  4. Yes, it's been reported that he invest a substantial portion of his own funds. Oh, and f*** of with your attitude.
  5. It's about tiome that hje puts some distance between himself and the great power hitting tandem of Nava and Sweeney.
  6. I would disagree just a little bit. Ten HRs at this point in the season is "killing it" in my book. Another minor point of disagreement: we didn't get an established closer. He had one year without missing major time. We got an injury risk who was capable of being a good closer, but I wouldn't call him an "established closer".
  7. Schill earned the Red Sox money-- two championships in 4 years. He was worth every penny. We've won nothing since he left and we can't even make the playoffs in recent years. As for Rhode Island, f*** them and their stupid politicians. They made a very high risk business deal and it flopped. It happens. It's not like Schilling pocketed the money. He lost a good deal of his own money.
  8. We need him to be a force in the middle of the lineup. He's not driving the ball the other way at all.
  9. They were afraid to have him play half a dozen games in RF in interleague to help the tam win some games, but they were fine with letting him take about a hundred or more full out power swings in a home run derby. Unbelievably stupid.
  10. People are demanding that Middlebrooks stay, but it looks ike Nava will stick for a while. Despite the fact that Middlebrooks may be coming back to earth a bit, I'd like to keep him in the lineup for his power threat. Other than Ortiz, we have no scary power threats. Gonzo's power has been non-existent to this point in the season. Maybe he will heat up. Maybe his shoulder is limiting him. He is falling far short of the fanfare and expectations when he was acquired. It was expected that he was going to be a huge offensive powerhouse. Since the All Star Break last year he has produced no power. Hopefully, Youk can bang a few balls out of the park when he returns, because Gonzo isn't going to protect Ortiz if he keeps hitting like this. He is not driving the ball to the opposite field at all.
  11. Sweeney is coming back to earth. Without a high OBP, he is not all that useful. He has 1 HR in his last 430+ AB's. This guy is 6'4" 240 and he can't hit the long ball.
  12. Are you calling me a girl?
  13. Buch had one like this coming.
  14. Nice bullpen arm the Rays picked up in the off season. How much are they paying him?
  15. When I snapped my humerus bone, I had no blood loss. I remember getting sweaty and faint and the nurse started looking concerned and was taking my blood pressure. I said to her "what's wrong? I thought I just hurt my arm. Is there something wrong?" She told me that I looked to be going into shock. I'm no MD, and I'm not sure what shock is, but she told me that my blood pressure was dropping.
  16. From a non-displaced fracture? I snapped my humerus bone and I started to go into shock.
