    logjam is not his fault anyway. That's Theo's issue.
  4. a700hitter
    But wouldn't cause a logjam.

    What was the bad call?

    Suck ass Bay with a 2 run bomb off Sabathia.

    It's reflective of a few kooks who call talk radio. They are not reflective of a majority opinion. They get on the radio, because it generates a lively discussion and people tune in to listen. The great majority of Red Sox fans do not agree with the anti-Drew opinion. Again, let's not mix that up with a discussion of his contract. That's a different issue, and a valid issue that has merit on both sides.

    I left off the smiley face on my post. I never want to offend a psychotic.

    I don't try to understand those people or change their minds. How did people boo Williams and Yaz. Such people are a loud minority that give the impression that their opinion is more widespread. Their opinion is usually based on emotion rather than any facts, but that's okay, because being a fan is an emotional thing.

    He is a baseball player. How could we judge him as anything else? Maybe he is a great person, dad and husband, but how would we know? We see him play baseball. We can judge how he plays. You've made one thing clear for me. I can remove you from my "Maybe Psychotic" list.

    ... and neither are you.

    Oh, Dipre, you can't use your other screen names to vote.

    The middle ground would be .... "I don't like Drew as a player, but I am glad he is on the Sox."? That would be a good way of identifying the psychotics on the board, but I already know who they are.

    I got you in my posts twice-- once calling Drew "Nancy" which I know you do tongue in cheek and the other about you almost running down Nomar, which I know was just an unfortunate coincidence not borne out of any dislike for Nomar. I knew you would see the humor.

    I don't think that a majority of even the small sample size of TalkSoxers don't like Drew as a player.

    I love the guy as a player, but I think he might be overpaid.
  21. a700hitter
    Is the argument that fans don't appreciate Drew as a player or is the issue that he is over paid. Two different issues. In the first issue, you are defending Drew. In the second, you are defending the FO. Whether or not the FO has done a bad job in negotiating a contract resulting in overpayment doesn't affect my opinion about the player's ability. Coming into this season, there was a very valid argument that the FO had overpaid on the contract. I think that argument is becoming less valid. There are other players on the team who I think are overpaid, but who I like having on the team. So, what is the argument here counselor. Are you defending the FO or Drew? They are not the same issue. I like Drew, and I hate when he is not in the lineup, because he is a really good player, but I tend towards thinking that it was a bad contract for the FO. I think ARod is overpaid, but would love having him on my team. Criticism of the contract is not criticism of the player. You are confusing the two issues.

    MAybe he's on TalkSox. I've always suspect that Example I was Theo. Also, I hardly characterize one interview as "great lengths". Boo hoo, poor Drew. I feel his pain. Please stop. He's a great player who some fans don't like. Some fans in St. Louis didn't like him either. Why do the hard core Drew groupies like yourself insist that he be the first player in Red Sox history to be liked by all Red Sox fans? The closest I ever saw to a Red Sox player that was universally loved by Red Sox fans was Nomar, and he had his detractors. In fact, Spudboy tried to run him down with his automobile.

    I've seen Yaz and other stars booed. There's no mistaking that for fan displeasure. I don't know how each of the fans feel about Drew, but I've almost never heard him get booed, even when he is playing like s***. Your Florida bar and internet experience is far from scientific. If Spud calls him Nancy, it doesn't mean that he doesn't appreciate that he is a great player. Let's all stop whining about poor Drew's lack of appreciation. Boston crowds roundly booed and heckled Ted Williams for years. Unless Drew reads TalkSox or frequents your Florida bars, he's probably completely unaware of this under appreciation issue. It is really such a non-issue. Continually bringing it up is just so ridiculous. ... and yes I was taking a shot of your powers of observation that you have on Gamecast. It's not so weaksauce if it gets in under your skin.
