  1. Mine has a Hemi with 343 HP.
  2. If it doesn't escalate to walkers, I can hold my own with any geezer.
  3. VA, I apologize for the gratuitous reference to your age. It wasn't funny and personal comments have no place in a baseball forum. I come here to have fun as I am sure you do too. I apologize.
  4. I don't pat myself on the back for that. I like Ital. He had some anger issues that I exploited, and I regret that. What can't you take? I made one age crack tonight and it set you off. Plenty of us here endure age cracks every day on this forum. Suck it up. Shake it off. Embrace your inner hag. J/K
  5. I've left you be for years, but figured turnabout was fair play after years of your sniping. Since you obviously can't take what you dish, maybe you should take your own advice, especially since I am capable of inflicting physical injury over the internet and across an ocean. Edit: BTW: People who troll me always end up more annoyed than I do. It's a Brooklyn skill.
  6. Yeah, you have. I guess you can dish it ... As for the rationalizing the thing with Ital, I don't rationalize it at all. We went at each other and worked each other up into some nastiness. The whole thing passed in one night. I can't imagine why you need to relive that argument. My disagreements with Ital were mild compared to other disagreements I and others here have had.
  7. And half of our accountants are good people.
  8. I really don't think getting anything for Epstein was a priority. They wanted to go in a different direction and the Cubs job came up at a very convenient time for both Epstein and ownership.
  9. If I had a nickel for every time that I was called old fart, etc here, I'd be able to buy a few extra tickets to Fenway. You're a little sensitive about the age thing. What's with bringing up the ban constantly. I was not perma-banned like a few of our members in good standing. BTW, People 30 years younger than me are full fledged adults. At 23 I was married and in Law School, fully capable of taking on old men in arguments. Ital and I got off on the wrong foot, and Yeszir, wisely gave us a cooling off period. Ital and I moved passed it, but apparently you haven't, because you keep bringing it up. Repeating oneself is a warning sign of senility. You should be aware of that. Don't be so sensitive about being and old hag. That's coming from an old fart.
  10. For an old bag, you are partial to the young members.
  11. Except his WHIP is around 2.
  12. and Roy Oswalt sits at home with his bags packed and nowhere to go.
  13. If Doji is calling the guy AAA Filler, he is garbage.
  14. Throwing strikes seems to be a big challenge for Carpenter.
  15. The Boston media is a bunch of pricks. I have witnessed their handiwork for 45 years. There are some differences with the way they relate to this ownership group. Before this ownership, the media had more of the upper hand. The newspaper columnists were a small group, but a well established institution and they were kind of the only game in town. That dynamic has changed since the Sox have become a 24/7 media phenomenon. The press contingent is huge and they are competing with each other. Under past ownership, the press hammered players while they were with the Red Sox. For the most part, that has stopped. While a player is with the Sox, the press, for all intents and purposes, exercises a see no evil hear no evil approach, probably because they don't want to risk their access to players and management. After the players are gone, the press takes off the gloves. I think this is with the tacit approval of the FO which seems to be the most likely source of the leaks that are the basis for these stories.
