    Javy lopez is a waste.

    Can Wily Mo finally do something?
  3. a700hitter
    ARod with another DP with two on and no one out. Does he have more errors or DP's?
  4. a700hitter
    Coco Crisp and Wily Mo have been total busts for the entire series. At least Crisp is hustling. It pissed me off that in the midst of this humiliation that he jogged in for Cano's ball and played it into a single. He's contributed nothing the entire weekend. The least he could do would be to hustle.

    Well, at this point, he's not a major league starter. If he can't pitch out of the pen he should be in the minors.

    We've been bitter since the 1 and 5 road trip against KC and Tampa.
  7. a700hitter
    I know the feeling.

    Thank you. I will. It is one of those timeless classics that can be watched over and over because it is so perfect. It warms my heart that in that ALCS and in the WS we did things that the NY Skanks never did in all of their post-season and WS play.

    I guess that Dan is just another dumbass GM that doesn't want to sacrifice the future to win this year. He should wakre up and realize that the Tigers have been playing for the future since 1984. The time is now Dan. You could've had Loretta. Scmuck!
  10. a700hitter
    But Marte still had top prospect status when we had him. He could've been moved for pitching that would've helped fill a hole. Instead he had to be sacrificed to fill a hole created by the FO letting Damon walk. What don't you get about that?
  11. a700hitter
    and more pitching than the '06 team.

    Don't worry about your son. You couldn't stop him from being a Sox fan if you tried. My son was 10 years old in 1996 when the Yankees were winning the WS. I live in NY. I felt bad for my son because all of his friends were reveling in the Yankees while the Red Sox were steaming pile of s***. I told him that he could root for the Yankees, that he should have a good time with his friends and enjoy rooting for the Yankees. I told him that he didn't have to root for the Red Sox, because I did. I cautioned him that the Sox were certain to always break your heart. He looked at me and very seriously said "I can't root for the Yankees. I hate them." It was one of my proudest moments as a father. We shared the heart break of 2003, and my heart broke for the boy, but in 2004 we shared the "Ultimate " victory that made all the past suffering go away because it was so perfect. So, don't sweat it. It might take years but the pink hats and the posers will eventually go away, the diehards will retake Fenway and this team will get back to concentrating on putting out a winning team.

    The Red Sox rotation in 78 had Tiant, Eckersley (20 wins) and Torrez in the rotation. Each pitched more than 200 innings.
  14. a700hitter
    The difference is that you had a talented underachieving team those years that got their s*** together at the end. The Red Sox have 2 maybe 2 1/2 starters and no bullpen. We're not stupid. We know when we have a bad team. Take pleasure in beating the corpse. It's pointless though, because a corpse feels no pain. Sorry to disappoint you.
  15. a700hitter
    You are right. I can't argue with that.
  16. a700hitter
    They've given up you fool. They are going through the motions and paying lip service with that one game at a time crap, but everyone from maine to Connecticut and all of the Nation know it's over. You are tilting at windmills my friend. I hope Joe uses his whole bullpen to win this big game for the yankees. I'll get a good laugh if he continues to burn out his pen gainst a corpse of a team. This way he'll have a pen full of dead arms by the playoffs.

    For more than a week, Optimist's signature has my quote: :The only way our boys get to the post-season is with a ticket. I knew it was over before your Yankees got off the plane.
  19. a700hitter
    Do you see the signature in your own post? I declared our boys dead before the Yankees boarded the plan for Boston. This team is not good. It can't beat teams with over .500 records when healthy, and when it's just a little banged up it can't beat the KC's and Tampa. This is just a bad season by a badly constructed team. It's not fun losing, but since the 1 and 5 road trip very few of us thought we had a chance at the playoffs. See the poll on the other thread. I don't think anyone thought this team had Championship possibilitites. The fans don't likle to see the Sox lose to the Yankees, but with "The Ultimate Loser" and a rookie pitching the first two games we knew it would be a huge uphill battle. I hope the FO learned a lesson by watching Damon clean our clocks these past 4 games, and I hope there is a bit of a s*** storm at their next meeting. But this doesn't come close to the way we slowly ripped your beating hearts out of your chests and showed them to you in the 2004 ALCS. It's not even close. Not the same solar system or universe. Remember the pain. The Red Sox did that to you. You hold an infamous record that can never be broken.

    As long as the ashats with the pink hats fill the place, we, the diehards, are toast. We will have nothing to look forwar to but teams that are competitive until a June swoon or maybe they will last a month or two longer, but by September we'll need football to occupy our time. BTW: The last time I was at a game there was a pink hat sitting behind me asking her friend why the seats in left field were so high. I had to get up in the middle of an inning and go to the bathroom to throw cold water on my face. As long as those people go to the games, the businessmen in the suits will make sure that we don't do what it takes to win, and the Yankees will be eating our lunch for a long time.
  21. a700hitter
    That's enough until the Yankees can do that to us in our House for the AL Penant. It tops anything the Yankees have done to the Red Sox in my lifetime. Edit: I know you remember the pain.

    I worked in the life insurance business for many years. An agent is a prospects besw friend throughout the sales process holding his/her hand throughout. Once the sale is closed, you can't find anyone to service your contract. Management closed the sale with the '04 Championship, and I thank them for that, but now they have the guaranteed full houses every night, so they don't have to and are not doing their best to have the team win in 2005 and 06. They'll put their best foot forward when there is more juice to squeeze out of the fans. We need to cancel our season tickets and stop going to the games to get them moving faster. Of course no one will do that, so we will get jerked around like the closed-sale that we are.

    Leskanic was at least a seasoned professional that had experienced substantial professional success. He had a damaged shoulder, but a seasoned professional has the poise and knowledge how to get buy even when not at his best. A kid like Lopez is just totally overwhelmed in a big situation. Also, there was no one left in the Pen in '04 when he went to Leskanic. The better options had either been used or were worn out. Last night he had a rested Papelbon and he started the inning with an old tired Timlin and followed him with a nervous rookie while Papelbon sat in the pen.
  24. a700hitter
    Gloat all you want. Read my signature and remember that pain and experience the humiliation of being the first team in the history of the game to accomplish this. It's a record that can't be broken.
  25. a700hitter
    If he was 1998-2000 Petey he'd be getting $20 million. He's not that Petey anymore, which is why he'll only be geting $13 million/year not $15 million. He's still pretty darn good , and he would be #1 or 2 on the Sox without a question.
