  1. Papi lost that weight and his power has gone with it.
  2. Piniero seems to be getting his act together as the Spring goes on.
  3. Just a thought. We've had a lot of debate about whether Papelbon shoud be moved back to the closer role. We have been assuming that the reason for the move would be that the bullpen would be too weak without him. Another factor for consideartion could be that Papelbon might not be more than an average starter. I am hopeful and expect that he will be better than average, but I don't think he will be a top 5 starter in the AL like he was as a closer.
  4. Moss is not much of a fielder. Every ball that I have seen hit to him this Spring he has played poorly.
  5. I saw that Ellsbury played for the Red Sox yesterday. I though he got sent down about a week ago.
  6. Yeah RSR. Hate the post, not the poster. It's irrational to hate someone you don't even know.
  7. Your meds. Don't forget your meds.
  8. Yes, he was, but he eventually played for us when he had nothing left in his tank.
  9. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/baseball/mlb/03/15/bc.bbo.obit.kuhn.ap/index.html He was 80 years old. He was only 57 when he last served as Commissioner. He seemed older to me. I never forgave him for overturning the Rollie Fingers and Vida Blue sales. A closer was exactly what those Red Sox teams needed. Those of us who remember that Rollie actually dressed in the colors, but never played in them will always ponder what might have been. Bowie also was not at Hammerin Hank's record-breaking game. He was a boob.
  10. He's Heathcliff Slocumb without the talent.
  11. I do. Theo said that they had been looking at him for some time and they were glad to get him before other teams started to notice him, or words to that effect. I thought it was a bit ridiculous that they thought they found this young budding star scooped him up before other teams noticed him. He'd been in the majors for a couple or so years and was playing in plain sight so to speak. Maybe the other teams came to a consensus that he was not going to be that good. Yeah, I think they planned out the replacement of Damon before Damon walked. IMO their strategy was ill-conceived and it back-fired on many levels.
  12. The Damon fiasco was bad no matter what Crisp does or if he is traded. He walked to our rivals filling a key hole for them and improving them. Also, in light of what the FO was willing to pay an injury-prone Drew, Damon's contract looks quite reasonable. Keeping Crisp will not make the Damon situation look better or worse.
  13. You sick bastard! lol! I have had the baseball package since Primestar offered it.I don't even remember the year. Was it the '90's? I only miss games for poorly planned funerals and weddings, but only for close family members-- may they all live 100 years.
  14. I'd sign up for that, even the heart attacks.
  15. He's setting the stage early for him to opt out of his contract at the end of the year. He'll end up with either the Cubs, Mets or Boston. He'll go back to playing SS.
  16. I think I heard it on a Red Sox telecast. Anyway,Pauley stinks. He has no future in the Red Sox organization.
