  1. He's not just an elite closer. He's the best in Red Sox history. I remember teams that lost pennants because they lost 30+ games after the 7th inning (1976). This guy has spoiled the fans. He blows 5 or 6 games in one year and everyone loses their minds. The fact is that the Sox record in games when they are ahead going into th 8th this season is phenomenal. Bard and Papelbon are an incredible tandem-- a potent weapon. If we lose one of them, Tito would have to manage the 8th and 9th innings. That can't have a good outcome. Papelbon saves 30+ games every year, and for context, he got to 200 saves faster than anyone, including the great Mariano. He's only 30, and he's got lots of years left int he tank. By all means, let him walk. f*** him. Maybe he will go to the Yanks and close for them. If Red Sox management would be stupid enough to let that happen, ....well, I don't even want to think about it.
  2. Have you seen the filmed concert where Springsteen, Jackson Browne, Elvis Costello and k.d. Lang among others back up and accompany Roy Orbison?
  3. I have eclectic taste. I will participate more in the future. My ringtone is Shipping up to Boston.
  4. I'm not an expert, and according to my daughter, I only listen to old fart music like Springsteen. She has made me reluctant to discuss music with anyone under 50.
  5. Give him a break. He's having a problem with light beer and mouthwash.
  6. The Red Sox win!! Love that Dirty Water!!
  7. That's what I said!
  8. He probably has our avatars over his bed.
  9. Spud, clear some pm space.
  10. Atwork is pm'ing me but I can't read it on ignore. I still have some of the psycho harrassing pm's from his prior incarnations, including a real psychotic string from his time as Imperial. I have it saved in case I should ever die mysteriously.
  11. Spud, you are a drinking man. What would you think of a 250lb professional athlete that was hungover at 7 pm from drinking 10 light beers the night before? For the record, I can vouch for the fact that you are not an internet tough guy.
  12. Welcome back! ORS and I just wanted you to feel like you never left.
  13. Some are not newbs but reincarnations of previously banned posters who have been permanently banned at least 3 times.
  14. Hide the mouthwash and the beer in the clubhouse!!! We don't want the Sox to be enablers!!!
  15. This just in. The Clubhouse Boy for the Red Sox just tweeted that Lackey has been abusing mouthwash between innings. He is apparently gargling and spitting like crazy.:lol::lol:
  16. The cleanup hitter bunting? Hmmm? Interesting.
  17. :DI said it in the game he hit the walk off. You were probably so excited that you didn't notice.
  18. He couldn't be worse. His ERA is 6.18 and it is the middle of August. That's historically bad.
  19. ... and they ain't tough guys.
  20. Lackey probably weighs 240. I know several women at half his weight that can drink 7 or 8 in an evening and be on the 6:30 am train.
  21. He would have 11 wins with a 6.18 ERA... and he's a drunk.:lol:
