  1. Belli ties the game. Now, it is the battle of the bullpens. Let's hope that ours sucks less than theirs.
  2. Wily Mo with the three bagger.
  3. We debate DFA'ing Loretta, but Johnson has done nothing but lose. He's the first one that should be loaded on the bus.
  4. Vlad runs the bases like an idiot.
  5. Re-read the posts. I just used the mock nickname. You are annoyed as I am because we pitched the "Ultimate Loser" and we are getting spanked. Unlike you, I am not displacing my anger.
  6. It's funny how no one has a problem with me calling Jason Johnson "The Ultimate Loser." But saying "Over the Hill Johnny" or "Twighlight Pedro" and you go crazy.
  7. Read the posts. You guys brought up this issue. I just gave a Yankee update and used the mock nickname, and like clockwork you hotheads engage me in the argument that you are tire of having. Jeeesh.
  8. As long as they continue to send "The Ultimate Loser" to the mound they are not serious about getting into the playoff hunt. Rather than building on last night's game, we are on our way to losing ground in the playoff hunt. This is unbelievable to me. 8 games into the 9 against the worst teams in the league, we should be in first in the East.
  9. I will continue to call Damon "Over the Hill Johnny Damon" and Pedro "Twighlight Pedro" and Jason johnson "The Ultimate Loser jason Johnson" so deal with it. If every time I use one of those names, you confront me, you are the one engaging in "broken -record posts"
  10. I keep saying it, because until I see him underperforming, it's a bad move by the FO. They were banking on him getting old. I think that is ridiculous, so I am mocking that ridiculous position. It's curious that posters on this board take it personally?
  11. You were using his low walk total to denigrate his ERA and explain that it should be higher. That is why your argument is ridiculous. Runs are runs. It doesn't matter if they come from hits or walks. If you give up less walks you have eraned having a lower ERA, so what is your point?
  12. Yes Belli. The catcher must have been s***ing his pants seeing Wily Mo steaming towards him.
  13. HR by the Over-the -Hill Damon for a 4-1 lead. #16 for Damon. In Fenway it would only have been a double. It would be nice to get a double right now.
  14. It is ridiculously if you are using it as a justification for your argument that his season has not been that great.
  15. Do we really want to take a chance that he isn't damaged goods.
  16. But he doesn't walk people. Your argument is ridiculous. It would be like saying that a pitcher doesn't give up more hits because the batters keep missing the ball. He has again become a big winner. This is the comeback player award we are talking about not the Cy Young award,where he will admittedly have more competition.
  17. Jason Johnson "The Ultimate Loser"
  18. ...and no one is arguing with JSInger about that. No one has advocated re-signing or keeping the entire 2004 roster intact. It's a ridiculously absurd aregument by JSinger. It would be like me characterizing JSInger's position as wanting to have a Marlin's type firesale by getting rid of all our stars and playing with all rookies and rule 5 guys. I don't make that riducously absurd mis-characterization of his position, so please stop misrepresenting my position. Keeping Pedro and Damon and possibly Lowe (although the need to retain him was much less significant) would not have hamstrung the Red Sox youth movement in the least. It might have prevented other moves such as the signing of Renteria and Clement, both of which can be characterized as abortions. It would not have affected the youth movement in the least, and they would be a better team today. The Sox would no doubt be leading the AL East.
  19. When jeter was given the starting job, it was for a Yankee team that had been to the post-season once in 15 years. When was the last time the Yankees gave a rookie a starting job out of ST since 1996.
  20. I never advocated keeping the entire 2004 team, just the core building blocks of Pedro, Damon and possibly Lowe. Certainly that would've left the FO with enough maneuverability to pursue their youth movement. But I'll say this, the 2004 team might have had one or 2 more Championships in them. Last year's team was a shadow of the 2004 team and it tied for the division lead.
