  1. If this wasn't Schilling, some one else would be doing and saying the same stuff bout Bobby V. This has nothing to do with Schill. I told you guys that Bobby V is a good baseball guy, but not a likeable guy. He's a lightning rod-- and I think that he is deliberately a lightning rod. He likes the attention.
  2. I grew up in Brooklyn, but I have been living on LI for the last 23 years. What town are you ii?
  3. Guys that have been in locker rooms for around 20 years and been personally successful and played on winners usually have something valid to offer on the topic. They know how managers get guys to respond and they also know how managers can lose guys.
  4. When a pitcher is trying to win a spot in the rotation, his spring stats and performance mean something. He doesn't have the luxury of working on certain pitches etc. They are not veteran starters wqho have locked up spots. Doubront stepped up, but the rest have not. It's not a good sign.
  5. Aceves only had one bad outing. It was a terrible outing, but the others were good in my recollection. Bard hasn't had one good outing.
  6. I said it earlier in this thread. If anyone on the Sox is affected by Schilling's or anyone else's comments, they are just losers looking for excuses. None of this matters. He's free to hate Bobby V. There's a long line for that. LOL!
  7. Whether anyone saw it coming isn't relevant. It did happen, and to a great extent it made Crawford an unecessary acquisition. The money would have been better used on pitching.
  8. Hey Pumpsie, welcome back for the start of the season.
  9. Welcome! What part of NY are you from?
  10. Aceves spring ERA is 5.50 and Bard's is a Lackey-ish 7.23. It is not encouraging that with one week left until opening day that we still don't know who will be the 5 starters and that the choices for 4 and 5 are not very good at all. Maybe everyone's pitching is this thin? I don't know.
  11. Aceves line of the day: 6 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 4 K, 87 pitches, 54 strikes.
  12. He is the brother of our top prospect.
  13. Yep. See my sig.
  14. He wasn't an expert about pitching. He was an expert at hitting pitching, but not pitching. When I saw Teddy Ballgame at Cooperstown when I went up for Yaz's induction, I was awestruck, but I've done a lot of reading about the guy, and he was a blowhard. I still love him, but that doesn't eliminate the warts.
  15. Blashemy!
  16. Bill Lee was a left wing nut job, and that never bothered me. I still like the guy. He was a great competitor and a Yankee killer. For that, he should hold a special place for Sox fans, and his legacy pales next to Big Schill's. Like I said earlier, no one was a bigger blowhard than Ted Williams. I guess the great icon was just lucky that he didn't play in the days of 24/7 news cycles and the internet. He's still on a pedestal for me.
  17. These manufactured feuds between Bobby V and Cherrington and now the supposed terrible impact on the team made by Schilling is just so much ado about nothing. I'll bet more that 20 of the guys from the opening day roster don't even know what he said, unless some idiot from the press quotes him in a press conference.
