    ORS, that is pretty funny. BTW, my mother in law who has dementia said to my wife the other day. "What's this on the news about an earthquake that is coming?"

    I'd rally prefer another earthquake. At least that did screw up my plans. The Washington Monument could use some repointing.

    It may cancel my trip too.

    Doctor tells the patient: I have bad news and worse news. First you have cancer. Patient: Oh my god that is terrible! Doctor: Even worse, you have advanced Alzheimers Disease. Patient: Thank god I don't have cancer

    I get that point, but not the replacement with Lavarnway. There would have to be a better option than that.

    Stuff like this just leaves me shaking my head. You are talking about replacing the biggest offensive force on the Red Sox for the last 9 seasons with an unproven kid from AAA. Ortiz's value has been underscored by the offensive slumps the team has experienced when he has been out of the lineup-- first in interleague play and most recently due to his heel injury. I might understand letting him walk if the plan was to replace his bat with Prince Fielder, or to move Youk to DH and trade for David Wright, but not to replace one of the most potent bats in baseball for the last decade with a guy from AAA. It's a little goofy. Lavarnway doesn't even have a major league HR.

    Whether or not he has a hot September and October, his presence in the lineup makes the lineup more dangerous, because of the many ways he can beat you. He puts pressure on defenses. He causes pitchers to pitch differently to him and the guys behind him. Schilling always says that the difference between winning and losing depends on how you execute 4 or 5 pitches during the game. Crawford puts pressure on defenses and in the highly pressurized atmosphere of the post season, teams that make mistakes go home.

    Lackey has been keeping his team in games and putting up quality starts and wins, and that is all that is important for a starting pitcher.

    Yes and without any reservation unless Crawford goes to the plate weraing a blindfold. Comparing an established All Star in the prime of his career to a kid with an uneven minor league performance record is just absurd. Drew has a damaged shoulder that has hindered his performance all season long and Kalish probably needs surgery for his shoulder which has never healed properly.

    I agree. I have never seen so much discussion over such a non-event with the possible exception of the poll-thread about whether we would want Bedard or some prospect on the Dodgers. There was 1 vote for the Dodger- no doubt the creator of the thread. Lol! Seriously, this is the stretch run. We should have better things to discuss- like who will be the #3 guy in the playoffs and why.

    He has exceeded my expectations.
  17. a700hitter
    I don't whine about him. I said that he is adequate, that his defense has improved and that I'll be happy if he hits .250. That's whining? Hit the dictionary.

    Valentine is not stupid, but he is a smarty pants. He's so impressed that he is the only manager who has an IQ in triple digits. He's just very annoying.

    Like I said before, if having his dream job isn't enough, then buh bye. Thanks for the memories.
  20. a700hitter
    It's just ridiculous that people think they know what you mean better than you do.

    I might care if he becomes a stud at the major league level and someone reminds me about this deal. Until then, it doesn't matter to me.
  24. a700hitter
    He has the dream job. If he wants to leave for more money, well then buh bye.
  25. a700hitter
    This is very true. We don't have to like or dislike a player based solely on his stats. It is permitted and it doesn't have to be justified.
