  1. But you won't find too many lefties thrilled to come in and face the big man.
  2. Read the post immediately before yours. It's over. There was a misunderstanding. I guess you couldn't resist the gratuitous cheap shot.
  3. True, that he has not been striking out batters, but he has been impressive nonetheless.
  4. He's had a very impressive spring training.
  5. Stern can pull a major league fastball for a HR. Farnsworth has serious heat, and last year he took Jenks deep.
  6. Stern is making a bit of a statement with the bat. Maybe he doesn't go down after April.
  7. Weasel Sturtze, hitting Lowell. Sturtze is really a bum.
  8. Exactly, steroids are only effective performance enhancers if they are taken regularly for an extended period. It strains credibility that they would regularly inject these substances for a prolonged period without asking what they are.
  9. I figured that he would work 75-80 pitches tonight and 90-95 the next time out. I am not disagreeing. I am just not that familiar with the pitch progression throughout ST. His stuff is not outstanding tonight, but he has gotten better as the game moved along. All in all, an impressive outing. It's nice to see that he can be successful against a great lineup when he has sub par stuff.
  10. Oh, that sucks. Well, my comments stand but I redirect them to the bobo that impersonated Sox Fan. Sox Fan, pardon my comments as they were not directed at you.
  11. Is it customary to stretch out a pitcher beyond 75 pitches when he has at least one more start before ST breaks?
  12. Read the posts when Sox Fan came on the boards around 5 tonight. He hit three different threads with cheap shot unnecessary insults. He posted five or more posts where he acted like a jackass. I'm here to talk sports. Crap like that is not interesting and unnecessarily provocative. I have never had a problem with Sox fan before, so it's not like we have an ongoing feud. Tonight he acted like a jerk when he started posting. He may be a great guy, but even great guys have off-nights.
  13. Lot's of baseball being discussed.
  14. lol! He just came on three threads and hurled pointless insults at three different posters without provocation. I guess he is trying to ruin as many threads as possible. I don't recall having previous arguments with him, but if he keeps acting like a jackass, I'll call him a jackass.
  15. I thought so, but your post had so little content other than the personal attack that I really couldn't be sure. It really was a pointless post.
  16. Three reather pointless, personally attacking posts for you in a row on these boards. Take a deep breath, step away from the PC and go to take your meds! We don't need the crap that you are spewing.
  17. It was pretty clear what you were saying. Maybe Sox Fan on the Cape is in a cranky mood or experiencing low blood sugar.
  18. There's a thing called quotes. Use them, so we know to whom or what you are responding.
  19. Yes Parisians commonly refer to NY as the greatest city in the world. Afterall, Paris has little culture, terrible food, and no diversity. In fact, the world community has bestowed this honor on NYC. Where is NY's education system ranked? I am a New Yorker (probably for longer than anyone on these boards) so I am familiar with the obnoxious attitude that NYC (more specifically Manhattan) is the world and nothing else matters. BTW Manhattan-ites would not be caught dead in the Bronx except to go to the bedpan of a stadium that I like to refer to as the House Built by A Fat Former Red Sox Pitcher.
  20. New York is a great city, but it is typical of New Yorker's who have been to few, if any, of the great cities of the world to proclaim New York as "the greatest city in the world."
  21. He'll do well. His contract is heavily weighted for incentives. In the end, he is a professional.
  22. You are missing a very important distinction. While it is a business for the players and management, it is not a business for the fans. Fans (short for fanatics) are emotional by nature. Emotion is our investment in the team. But if we throw a guy under the bus, which we haven't done to Arroyo, he could care less. We are meaningless in the business relationship between ownership and the players. Similarly, it is not hypocritical for fans to be emotionally upset that Damon left for more money to go to our sworn enemy, but welcome the trade of Arroyo as part of the business, because it improves the team. I don't get what your point is about the behavior of Red Sox fans. We are free to like who we want and to turn on whomever we want whenever we want. Usually, we have good reason, and in the case of Arroyo, no one has turned on him, we still like him, but we like the trade. What is it that you don't get? BTW take your own advice and convince the other Yankee fans to cheer Wells when he shows up at the Stadium.
