  1. Pedroia is slow. Earlier in the game, the ESPN announcers were talking about how DP needs to hit .300+ to hold down the second base position in Boston, because of his lack of speed and range. They said he'll need to be an exceptional hitter, because he doesn't have other exceptional attribute, but I am paraphrasing.
  2. I think we did that a couple of days ago, and for my part in it I apologize.
  3. The only fond memory that I have of Carl Everett is his bloop hit to break up Moose's bid for a perfecto.
  4. Crisp will start a rally in the sixth, and the Sox will knock out the king.
  5. When it comes to crap, you are more than my match.
  6. That's just silly. If you don't see the differnce between a player that misses one-third of his team's games ea?h year and a player that plays 95 percent of his team's games, then there isn't much to say. Who knows, maybe one day a pinch hitter will win the MVP.
  7. I told you that Tek was looking better at the plate recently.
  8. Yes, HR Derby Weaver is back! Nice easy swing by Drew for the HR to CF.
  9. I love when we face this guy, but I am disappointed that no one has gone deep. BTW. Is he worse than Julian Tavarez?
  10. Bases loaded and no out against HOUR derby Weaver. Yes
  11. Helton>every red sox hitter except Manny and Ortiz
  12. Because he would per se be the third best hitter on our team. That's why. It's that simple. Everything you have pointed to is an irrelevant rationalization.
  13. The result of .....INJURY. I agree. It will be quite pathetic when old man Helton at age 33 trashes Youk age 28. Take the bet if you are so sure of your powers of perception. He will trash him. Take the bet. Make me eat my words.
  14. I am glad you are relying on erudite legal authorities such as Mike and the Mad Dog. I don't doubt that these are the terms of ARod's deal and maybe even Unit's deal, but are you saying that this is standard legally required language? Not as far as I know. Do you even have a link to this being part of the negotiations with the Red Sox. If not, your argument is disingenuous. Even if this part of the negotiations with the Red Sox, that doesn't mean it is a requirement. The Red Sox could negotiate that term.
  15. He's an impressive talent.
  16. I never compared the length or amount of their contracts to Helton's contract. They are overpaid, whether it be for one year or not.
  17. Is that a union or MLB required provision in a contract where one team agrees to continue to pay part of a player's contract after he is traded? If it is, please give me a cite or a link, otherwise it is a strawman.
  18. So, we don't have to pay them this year? Are they not overpaid this year?
