  1. Good by baseball untill 2012.
  2. And Feliz had the game put away if Nelson Cruz could play defense. Then he took the ball out of Feliz's hands wirth a 2-run lead and he handed it to Darren Oliver. It's on the crackhead.
  3. He'll be hitting the crack pipe tonight.
  4. You are right. It will be soon enough to start beating this horse when they are ready to break camp with him as the starting catcher.
  5. I don't think he is trying to fool anyone. He's just trying to illustrate that many people got over-enthusiastic about Salty when they were posting in the "Salt is busting out all over" thread. He's not a great untapped potential signed by Theo. He's tall and barely adequate.
  6. The only thing I can think of is that he didn't want to burn him for game 7. If that is the reason, I think he made a terrible mistake. You have to bring down the hammer when you have the chance.
  7. Please, it would have been an organizational disgrace to run out the like of Wakefield and Lackey against these lineups. The Red Sox are exactly where they deserved to be for this game - on their couches.
  8. LOL! You are a cheap date. LOL!
  9. It is certainly one of the most exciting WS games in recent memory, but it is hard to call a game with 5 errors one of the "best" WS games.
  10. How many pitches did Feliz throw? I would have left him in to pitch the 10th.
  11. Dewey either would have gotten a good jump on that ball and caught it without running into the wall, or he would have decided to play the carom and the second runner would not have scored. Most likely, he would have caught the ball. I think Washington is nuts to have gone to Oliver here.
  12. This is a wild game. Wow!
  13. Cruz played that ball like a hand grenade.
  14. In his first year managing the Senators, he helped remarkably improve the hitting of several guys who had never hit much. Eddie Brinkman, an all field no hit SS hit something like .280 under Williams. That was probably 50 points over his career average. Mike Epstein also had a very good year if memory serves me correctly. I think Aurelio Rodriguez also blossomed under Williams. Williams problem was that he hated pitcher, especially bad pitchers like the Senators/Rangers had.
  15. Andrus pulled a major rock there by throwing to 1st base instead of 2nd.
  16. Yep. Every Sunday there is at least one ceremony. The Fenway Scholars thing takes forever because each kid is escorted on the field by a player and they are each introduced by the PA announcer. Have a ceremony for them in the State Street Club and have a few players meet them. I'd rather see some BP.
  17. One of the truisms of business is that employers pay their employees the least that they can to retain the employees leaving and employees do only as much work as is necessary not to get fired.
  18. It was such a mistake letting Beltre walk. Look at what this guy has accomplished at his age. He is on an HOF trajectory. The Sox should have traded Youkilis and kept Beltre. This is admittedly 20-20 hindsight. It wasn't foreseeable that Youk's body would start breaking down so rapidly. Wow Cruz is having a monster post season.
