  1. Our doctors seem to miss a lot. Harden must have huge holes in his rotator cuff and labrum for the Sox Doctor's to have such a concern that the FO vetoed the trade.
  2. He still has a lot of difficulty tying his shoes. He has huge challenges just with fully recovering normal activities of daily living. The level of coordination and muscle memory of Major League ballplayers is incredibly refined. They are very much superior to the average population in that regard.
  3. That's not what I have heard from doctors. I am pulling for the kid, but I have seen these types of comebacks attempted before. JR Richard had a stroke and recovered to lead a normal life and we were all pulling for him to make it back, but he didn't. There was a pitcher on the Red Sox in the 80's that had a minor stroke, and he never made it back. I am rooting for the kid, and if our hopes get built up unrealistically and it doesn't work out, it will not be devastating like it would be for the kid if his expectations are unrealistic. I just want things to work out well for him. Is that a bad thing?
  4. The kid has been very lucky that his condition was diagnosed and repaired and that he'll be able to lead a normal life. It's a huge success story. Playing ball is physically therapeutic and right now it is a good thing. I just hope that someone close to him will be honest with him about his chances of playing Major League Ball, so he can start to build a new life for himself. That's going to be a tough emotional hurdle for a young man who has been a prime athlete his entire life. I don't know why that f***s up a discussion. It's just a reality.
  5. It's great that the surgery went well, and his life is no longer in danger. It's grat that he is living a normal life, walking and talking. I think the next hurdle for him will be the tremendous emotional hurdle of realizing that he will never play major league baseball. The reality is that he still has a lot of difficulty tying his shoes. To rebuild the muscle memory for the refined skills needed to play major league baseball is probably not a possibility.
  6. If Bedard is able to stay healthy, we will like him very much. Theo dropped the ball in a big way by not getting a RH RFer. The Phillies scored big by getting Pence.
  7. Bedard with a terrible audition.
  8. Everyone should have a jar of Vaseline handy tomorrow, because we usually get it in the ass when Miller pitches.
  9. If Ortiz or AGon are taken out of this lineup, it profoundly affects its production.
  10. Quentin is going to hit a bomb here
  11. Floyd is toying with them.
  12. We can't play small ball, because none of our guys know the signs (neither does Tito) and no one can bunt.
  13. Don't let him chase you away. Stay for the game. This game is shaping up as a heart-stopper.
  14. It's Dutchy being Dutchy. He accused me of sending him messages. I challenged him to forward them to me. He sent none.
  15. Reddick not looking like Beltran in that AB.
