  1. I really don't get the point of the past two posts, but I am sure that the two of you think you have made a really good point. Run with it.
  2. The kid will have to be perfect to beat Buehrle who are guys jusy can't hit.
  3. The Sox used to kill Vasquez. What the hell happened?
  4. but he's the toughest pussy there is.
  5. That kid can go get flyballs.
  6. I guess it is. I had nothing to do today at work.
  7. Your perception is skewed and I don't back off of that. Individual perceptions do not determine if the separation of Church and State is being violated. I don't doubt that there are some Court cases might have held to the contrary, but it would not be the first time the Constitution has been misinterpreted by the courts. The Constitution protects against state establishment of religion. God Bless America is a patriotic song that references God. Singing it does not constitute prohibited state sponsorship of religion. First of all, a major league baseball team is not a governmental institution. Second, no one is being forced to sing along if they don't agree with the song. I would have a problem with forcing someone to sing this or any other song, but I have no problem with it being played at any event. This is not similar to the School prayer cases, because schools are publicly funded.
  8. The two issues are not necessarily connected except by that IMO opinion the pampering philosophy has led to the creation of a bunch of hypochondriacal divas. Maybe he is hurt, but to me it sounds like he is the one with the concerns, not the team. It's just my opinion. I am hoping that I am not proved wrong and that he doesn't need surgery, because we need the SOB on the mound.
  9. God Bless you for a sneeze is just a courtesy, not a religious statement. God Bless America is a just patriotic song, not a religious indoctrination. I think you have a skewed perspective on it.
  10. He hasn't implemented the conditioning program yet. Plus, the organization has no pitching talent.
  11. Because he stinks. I'd bring up Colon if he is on cycle.
  12. That's what I get from hearing Terry and Beckett about this. It is very clear to me that Beckett is the one who is concerned at this point, not the Red Sox. It is the Red Sox decision to send him to Andrews, because they don't need him worrying on the mound. Francona was very diplomatic, but it is clear that it is Beckett that is worried, not the Sox:
  13. My son was going through a rebellious stage and few times he didn't stand for the anthem. I told him that it was disrespectful. One time someone said something to him. I told them to mind their own business. He just didn't see the connection between patriotism and baseball. Since 9/11, he stands for the anthem and GBA. I guess that made him realize the foolishness of his little protest. He still has a rebellious streak, but he is loyal to the red, white and blue.
  14. Here's mine: They're dead, muerto, kaput.
