I was concerned when they broke camp that they were very complacent to the point of nonchalance. I was concerned that they thought they would steamroll through the season and they were believing their press clippings. The horrendous start was a wake up call.

Thanks. Green Bay played very sloppy. They were outplayed in every aspect today.

I'm envisioning something more subtle and nonviolent like Tek and Wakefield throwing banana peel on the floor in the clubhouse and the showers.

Yes, I am a Giants fan-- and they say we agree on everything.

Damon still has something to bring to the table.

Yeah, keep on trollin.

Blurbs and stories like this don't bode well for getting another starter. Also, they are so full of s*** about all the trade candidates available in July. On August 1st we'll get the song and dance about how the trade options were too expensive and yada yada yad not wanting to sacrifice the future for the short run yada yada yada.

^ I'm sure this was baseball related.

I read enough from you for one day. I don't need to re-read it. You can have the last word on this too.

So now the whole argument is about some statement made about 2010? Give me a break. I thought you just wanted to make sure that the effect of the injuries were not dismissed as a cliche? Make up your mind. Spinning circles round and round.

Should the Red Sox consider Bard as a starter in 2012?
a700hitter replied to Palodios's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
The 5th guy needs to be a good established starter-- not great. He needs to be a guy capable of taking the ball every 5th day and giving the team a chance to win and not missing a significant number of starts. Caros Silva and Padilla and Cook don't meet these requirements. If we start out with them in the rotation, if bard has a hiccup at the beginning of the season, a tremendous strain will immediately be put on the bull pen. Also, I think you are not giving enough of analysis to the effect on the pen of moving bard to the rotation. I think most of us are around the middle of the spectrum where the overall pitching in 2012 will be around the same as last year if we don't add another starter. If we add a starter, it should be markedly improved. We don't need to spend mega-millions. -

I am hoping. Unless he blows up, he would be better than last years 4th and 5th starters, but will that improvement offset the decreased efficiency in the pen by him leaving the pen? That is and has been my concern about this. All that being said, Bard can't fill the 4th and 5th spots. We need another starter. -

I was just being sensitive and thin-skinned when he told me that he laughs at me not with me. I need to toughen up. Yeah right.

What projections? Are there such projections? Who is stating them here, and do they have any validity at all? We don't know what he will do as a starter, but we know what h was as a reliever, and that spot has not been filled. I have a lot of hope for him as a starter as you can see from my consistent posts beginning before the season has ended. Do I acknowledge the gaping hole left in the bullpen? Yes, only an idiot wouldn't notice that. Back in the earlier thread

It was just an insult without further elaboration, and you are an otherwise likeable guy.
