    Me too. That is a no brainer.
  2. a700hitter
    Yes, from those experts I learned that finishing last in 3 out of 4 seasons is a good plan for success.

    Welcome.

    I think we need a big bat to replace Ortiz. Our pitching and defense is not good enough without a top offense. I am skeptical about Beltran being the answer. He is up there in age and very creaky. Wear and tear have caused him to have off seasons two of the last three years.

    I don't think we will see many prolonged slumps from him. I think we will see an increase in XBH's from him too.

    Now, the GMs can get on with the wheeling and dealing.
  7. a700hitter
    I agree wholeheartedly.

    I know many stupid people with very high character. I am not sure if you are among them. Character refers especially to a person's moral qualities, ethical standards, principles, etc. If I called them stupid, that would be insulting but not an attack on their character. If I said that someone had no taste in clothes, was a bad singer, was bad at math etc. those would be insults, but none would be an attack on their character. It is amazing that you can't understand the difference, which is probably explains why you can't understand that I was going for sarcasm when I explained and clarified my intent in earlier posts. Now, buzz off and go be miserable in your projecting/predicting bad fan reaction to Benintendi slumps.You are wasting my time.

    Oh, f*** off. I never wished death on addicted people . Read the thread again. I was being sarcastic. You are being a dick. Did you predict that? Edit: Also, the fat slob thing was meant as insult to his appearance and performance. It was not an attack on his character. Every insult is not an attack on character. The fact that I think you are too stupid to make that distinction is an insult not an attack on your character. I hope that finally clears things up for you.

    That's the spirit!

    I wouldn't waste my time predicting or projecting that stuff. If it happens, it happens, and if it makes you happy good for you.

    Projecting ignorance is the same as projecting misery. My mother used to call it borrowing trouble. You don't know if or when any of it will happen or who will do it, but you already have it happening. Like I said, I have enough problems dealing with unpleasantness and troubles when they happen. I don't look forward to them coming, especially when I am not sure that they will come.
  13. a700hitter
    I can't understand people that project misery. When misery comes I deal with it. I can do the gloom and doom thing. Edit: And it is really strange to project the misery of others. But if it makes you happy. .. Different strokes.
  14. a700hitter
    What a gloom and doomer. How can you stand being so miserable?
  15. a700hitter
    Enjoy the golf!
  16. a700hitter
    You are one of the sharpest guys here.
  17. a700hitter
    35 dingers and 100 plus RBI makes sense.

    I looked up the definition and like many words, "slob" has more than one meaning. I was using the second definition of "slob": "an ordinary person

    We got a Cuban born player for $72 million!!

    Even the most optimistic projections of Dice K did not have him as a #1. That hype was just that... hype. I heard an interview Bobby Valentine of was familiar with him from managing in Japan. The interview was before the Red Sox won the bid. His evaluation was dead on. He projected him as a number 3 to the back end of a rotation. He said that while he might be able to hit 95 on the gun, that he couldn't live there and that he would have to pitch off of his secondary pitches. And he was right as Dice K was a big nibbler. He never came right at hitters.
  21. a700hitter
    He was expected to be a #3 guy, not a #1.
  22. a700hitter
    Thanks Uncle Ben's.
  23. a700hitter
    Pablo chose Boston over SF, because Ben was dumb enough not to put a weight clause in his contract.
  24. a700hitter
    He was a keeper.
  25. a700hitter
    Does anyone else remember him giving up a game winning grand slam in his debut, or am I, in the words of Roger Clemens, misremembering?
