  1. Yeah, you no doubt scared the s*** out of everyone in the neighborhood.
  2. Wow! Such an abundance of gastronomic choices, and to think that two blocks away from the stadium you can get killed for your sneakers.
  3. Sounds like a clear case of robbery.
  4. But he acquiesced to the FO decision even though they were wrong. Is that slow enough for you? He was right to disagree with the FO, because his doctor was right.
  5. "Retarded-Ass"? You are sounding very presidential.
  6. It's your opinion that he stole the $ because he bad mouthed the FO when they insisted that he rehab. That makes no sense, because he did the rehab like the FO wanted and all that was proved was that Schilling and his Doctor were right. So, how did he steal their money? Just quit on this issue before you make a bigger ass of yourself.
  7. No it was not. His doctor claimed that he could have rehabbed and been ready for September. In the end, his doctor was right that he would not be able to pitch without surgery.
  8. In either case, there was no chance of him pitching without the surgery, so what is your point about his disagreement with the FO regarding the course of medical treatment?
  9. His doctor proved to be right that he would not be able to rehab the shoulder without surgery. If the FO and medical staff had let him get the surgery right away maybe he could have been ready for the September stretch drive. You argument is getting weaker with each post.
  10. It's a business. The Red Sox made a bad deal. Curt made a good deal. The blame is at the feet of the FO and the medical staff.
  11. El Tiante should be in because Catfish is in.
  12. Even today, not that many balls go 450+. After all these years, it was still a big deal when someone hit a shot into the black seats. Edit: No one hit the ball further than Mantle, not even the genetically engineered monsters.
  13. When I was in Ft. Myers he hadn't yet appeared in a game, but I have seen him once or twice on TV. He was never a Gazelle, but at least he doesn't look like a wounded animal out there. He looks to be moving as well as he did before the injury. His bat certainly has been hot right out of the box. That's really good news.
  14. It's a low risk high reward move by management.
  15. Oddly, it didn't happen that often. Believe it or not, not too many guys could knock the ball 450 feet to reach the monuments.(sarcasm) Even if the batter beat the Center Fielder, the ball usually stopped rolling or was tracked down before it reached the monuments.
  16. Who gets the last roster spot, Carter or Bailey. Both have knocked the cover off the ball recently. Carter has 5 HRs, but Bailey is a RH bat and the roster is probably a bit unbalanced with LH batters.
  17. You are entitled to feel however you want, but so am I. The '76-08 stadium was a poor excuse as a replacement of the original Stadium. Unlike the original Stadium, the '76- '08 Stadium is a place where I have some of my fondest baseball memories. Am I sorry to see it go? No, it was an architecturally ugly stadium in a blighted neighborhood, so I don't give a damn. The original stadium was majestic. The '76-'08 stadium resembled a bedpan. I don't know why my feelings and opinion would invalidate your feelings and opinion. The '76- '08 field was completely different from the original stadium except for some superstructure. The field itself was also replaced-- several times.
  18. I hope he keeps voicing his opinion. In addition to being the best big game pitcher of his generation, he is a fan of the game. I look forward to his insights. I'd like to see him and Eck in studio after some Sox pitcher has stunk up the joint. That would be pretty entertaining.
  19. Tearing down a field that is 32 years old is disturbing? My house on LI is older. The original stadium -- the House that Ruth Built---has been gone since 1973. That's where Ruth, Gehrig, Mantle, Dimaggio and the other All Time greats played. Once they tore down the original stadium, the majesty was gone. If you attended a game in the original stadium, you know what I mean. In the '76-08 stadium, there were no monuments in CF with a CF more than 460 feet from home plate and a left center field 457 feet away. Only a bona fide star power hitter could hit the ball out to Left Center Field. The stadium from 76- 08 was a pathetic replacement of the original. What's disturbing is that people treat that crappy place like it was the real Yankee Stadium.
  20. Oooh... still so bitter! I guess it is going to take a long time to for the bleeding rectums of the Yankee fans to heal. Schilling ended the chemically engineered Yankee Dynasty of the late 90's and then led the Yankees' chief rivals in a victory that humiliated the Yankees on their own field completing the biggest post season choke in the history of the game. The fact that Yankee fans hate him so much enhances his legend for Red Sox fans. He walks on water for us and ended his career with a World Series victory.:harhar:
