If you take away his bad starts, no one compares to Ortiz against RHPs. Last year, even with the bad start he was among the very best against righties.
-
Against RH pitching, David Ortiz is as formidable as anyone. If Gonzo is better against righties, the difference is negligible.
-
He was so skinny after the mono that he looked frail. If he fills out a bit and puts some muscle on that frame, he could be a very productive power hitter.

Drunk Driver sentenced to 51 years for killing pitcher
a700hitter replied to Divinity's topic in Other Baseball
Premeditation or malice aforethought is a very specific state of mind that must be present for first degree murder eligible for the death penalty. There must be a specific intent to kill someone. A few years ago some kid in my town got juiced up and got the bright idea of throwing a frozen turkey from his car at an oncoming car. The turkey slammed into the windshield at the combined speed of the two cars-- probably 80-100 mph and crushed the drivers head and killed her. Even a deliberate and idiotic act like this did not arise to malice aforethought. In my mind, this act of total recklessness comes closer to the necessary requirement for malice than a drunk driver. There are thousands upon thousands of drunk drivers that have been arrested who didn't kill anyone. Yes, the probability that a drunk driver will kill someone is much much higher than the probability of a sober driver, but it is not as likely as the risk of death from throwing a boulder (i.e. frozen turkey) into the windshield of an oncoming vehicle. Malice aforethought is a very hard element to prove. -
My point is that people expect this extension to get done right after opening day. I'm not expecting that.

I know for a fact that Theo reads my stuff. He basically has employed the A700 philosophy in building this team.

Does this sound like the parameteres of a deal are in place?

It's been a great Holiday Season for Sox fans. Santa basically gave the Yankees a bag of crap (Mark Prior) that was placed under the tree next to a lump of coal (Luis Vizcaino). Ho Ho Ho!!!:lol:

Mr. Henry please loot this Liverpool team and use the funds to bring more stars to Fenway.

A horrible tragedy. He snuffed out three lives and ruined his own. As bad a problem as drunk driving is, I think accidents due to cell phones and texting might actually surpass in number the drunk driving accidents. My wife have been in three accidents where our vehicle was totalled. One was a drunk stoned driver and the other two involved cell phone usage. Two of those collisions were very violent and we are lucky to have escaped relatively uninjured. I hate drunk drivers, but we should all equally hate these *******s that text and talk on the phone while driving. -
Let me see if I have this straight. Doji threw a bomb into the middle of the room by suggesting that it would be a good move for the Sox to get Jose Reyes. Neither Palodios or Dipre think the Sox should acquire Reyes, but yet they have been engaged in a protracted viscious battle. This is where I get lost. Did I miss something? I think Spud is right. People need to get laid more.

I like the creativity, but I still like Papelblown better.

Slight correction made above.

Wow! After reading this thread, it made me realize how silly ORS acts when he argues with me. :lol::lol: ORS, don't go getting all bent out of shape. We're both pretty silly when we go after each other. I gave you a vote for smartest poster, so be assured that I am just joking.

An auction is a lot of fun, but probably very cumbersome on the internet.

There's no reason to carry dead weight. Sometimes management has to throw in the towel for a guy before he totally embarrasses himself.
-
I would have liked to see him pass Clemens, but as a bullpen long guy and at his reduced effectiveness, it would take several more years. In the meantime, he will be embarrassing himself. I'd rather not witness that.
-
You are 100% right. What Doji said was really messed up.

Welcome to TalkSox. If you are Dutchy/Imperial/Yazsideburn or one of his many other screen names, you will eventually out yourself.

Wakefield has been a solid citizen and served many useful roles for the Sox over his long tenure. However, it seems clear to me that since his back problems he can't consistently get the knuckler down in the zone. If all you have is a knuckle ball and you can't get it down, you have nothing. I think he needs to be put out to pasture. What do you think?
