  1. I thought you suspected that his plate discipline was PED induced?
  2. Do you blame him for Theo leaving?
  3. Beltran would give the team more versatility, but he's only a year younger than Ortiz.
  4. Maybe they are low balling him forcing him to take the Orioles offer. Of course, they'll have their toadies and lackeys in the press paint Ortiz as a selfish ingrate for not taking their offer.
  5. During games NESN would have Heidi highlight some new concession at Fenway or on the road and seh would sample the food. She did look sexy eating the pulled pork.
  6. No one eats like Heidi. I'll miss her.
  7. Yeah sure. He can't even remember how many outs there are. Francona will look like John McGraw and Connie Mack rolled into.
  8. Bard IMO is the best choice for closer at this point. These bums and retreads mentioned in the article should not be considered for the closer job and they would scare me as the 8th inning guy. At this point, I am inclined to go with Aceves for the 8th and take the huge step down in performance from what we have enjoyed for the last couple of years in the 8th inning. Maybe Jenks loses a 100 lbs by spring training so he's only overweight by 50 lbs and he can give some quality late innings. As for Lidge, Nathan, and Broxton, I have very little no more faith in them than I do in Jenks.
  9. From today's Herald. The highlighted portion scares me: Nathan, Lidge or Broxton? The late innings will be real cliffhangers if these are our options. Broxton flat out sucks. He lost his confidence and he has been a repeat visitor to the DL. He's Eric Gagne --Part II. Lidge will keep the cardiac care centers filled to capacity in Boston during the baseball season. Joe Nathan is damaged goods-- straight from the dumpster.
  10. I would trade Ellsbury for Verlander, but probably not any other pitcher. Verlander really had a break out year. What an arm!
  11. 6 years $90 million is not a bad deal. I still think he will get more. Ben continues to sit with thumb firmly planted in his ass. We have no manager, coaching staff and still no compensation from the Cubs.
  12. Wow! The feeding frenzy is growing. I hope you all are having fun.
  13. I guess my recollection about the discussion was mistaken. I had remembered being challenged on the seriousness of the Mets financial condition. Maybe it was another poster. You say that you have been igmoring me and I certainly have not engaged you. Yet, you took this opportunity to take a few unsolicited swipes at me. That's not in the spirit of not engaging with me. In fact, under the rules of the forum, it is considered baiting.
  14. Wow, I didn't think he was being condescending at all. What's going on with all the lashing out E1? Seriously.
  15. I figured that I would take that route as opposed to the open mocking in which you were engaged.
  16. Even if Bard fills Papelbon's shoes, we have no one to fill Bard's shoes.
