Yes, I do. Enough of this dead horse already. Let's discuss my pet peeves a little more.
-
Good point, but when the RedSox cut ties with him, the cowards in the press may take that opportunity to unload on him.
-
Probably for the same reason why we get upset when Nick green makes an error. Even though we know he sucks , we expect him to suck, and we know it's not his fault that he sucks, we get upset because he hurts our teams chance of winning. When he makes an error, we react negatively. Similarly, when Drew is not in the lineup, it negatively impacts the teams chance of winning. When I log on and see that Brian Anderson is playing, the first words that come out of my mouth are "s*** no Drew." If that's Drew hating, well then I am guilty.

100% agreement at the risk of being called a Drew hater.
-
Lots of ranting and really not one coherent point. There's really nothing here to respond to. Talk about ********.
-
Gee, and I thought he could have stuck as a defensive replacement in the OF. lol!!
-
-
I agree with this 100%.

I agree. I've posted it here several times that I have never booed one of our guys. It's not the player's fault that he stinks. When I blame the FO for putting out a substandard product, others insist that the players bear the responsibility. Different viewpoints. What can I tell you. ... and based on his prior performance, a lot of people have the opinion that the Sox overpaid for him. I believe that e that they overpaid, but I am glad that they got him. That may confuse some people. You seem to be confused into thinking that I don't like J.D. I love that he is on the team, but facts are facts, he has a hard time staying on the field. I don't like that. Why must that equate to blame. That's toolish. If my car doesn't start in the morning, I don't like that. Do I blame the car? Do I get mad at the car? Stop putting words in my mouth about J.D. I like him, but his durability is not good. His record bears this out.

See you guys tomorrow. I'm not waiting around for more baiting by J_E who is hoping that I will give him an excuse to spew insults.
-
Not a smear. It happened according to Tito. People want a guy to be durable. Just because it is not his fault doesn't mean that it isn't a point of criticism. Players that suck don't suck intentionally. They are just not that good. Yet we criticize their play. Durability is an issue of interest to teams that's why players get physical examinations before they sign. Teams want guys that they sign to play the whole season. Would you purchase a car if it had a bad durability rating? As for Ortiz, his advancing age and increasing injuries will certainly affect his value on the open market. It is an issue.
-
I didn't say he was a pussy. I explained that people knock on him because he misses games. Is the word pussy there? No, it is not.
-
Some guys are durable. Others are not. It's got nothing to do with macho stupid s***. Some guys like Jeter go to the post everyday. The manager knows that he can count on him day in and day out. The fans who buy tickets know that they will see jeter. The manager never has to beg Jeter to stay in a game because he has no one on the bench to take his place. Why are some guys more durable than others? I don't know. Drew doesn't play any harder than Jeter. He doesn't get hit by more pitches than Jeter, so how do you explain how one guy will play 160 games a year and another guy averages about 120 games a year. I don't know. Do you have an explanation other than one guy is more durable than another? If you do, share.

... Oh and Yaz wasn't a gamer either. It's just a myth that he signed himself out of a hospital when he was in traction for his back to play a series against the Yankees. That never happened either. I was hallucinating.
-
I never posted it. J.D. straps it on for 162 each season. The manager has to fight to keep him out of the lineup.
-
I judge gamers against the standard he set. Judged against the standards Yaz set Drew is delicate and brittle. He's a great player when he plays, but he's delcate and brittle. He has durability issues.

37 year old Carl Yastrzemski 150 Games Played.
-
I was explaining why people knock on him. I wasn't calling him anything, but he is delicate, maybe even brittle.
-
Probably because he'd pull or strain something on the final Hr and miss the next 4 games forcing Brian Anderson back into the lineup. The problem with Drew isn't how he plays. It's how little he plays.
-
If you are not present for the birth and the three following days, you could really damage the kid... or so they say. You'd probably do more damage spending time with the kid.
-
I'm really starting to take a liking to you.
-
I've seen a lot worse. I think this is becoming a more civil space lately. \ I'll knock of the anti-child birth witnessing rhetoric if it makes you feel better.
-
He makes some plays that you would never see anyone else make. I remember seeing him in ST in 2007. He made very difficult plays look effortless.
-
:lol:Very true. Drew underperforms for his contract, but when he is on, he looks like the Natural.
-
I hope Heidi blows Tek so good tonight that he gets a charlie horse in his calf so Tito can't f*** up this lineup.
