  1. So, poor Pablo had no idea that he was gaining weight and getting out of shape. Wasn't it a clue that he kept having to loosen his belt and buy bigger clothes or that he could no longer see his feet? He might have even busted a belt buckle or two. Absolving him of fault is irrational. Then again maybe he never wore anything but sweat pants and never looked for his feet.
  2. I broke the crazy bugger each and every time, and he would break quicker with each subsequent identity.
  3. That is one of the great things about baseball -- stuff that you never see coming seems to happen with regularity.
  4. It is kind of wild that he hit his first MLB home run at age 43.
  5. Go Red Sox!! Happy Mothers Day! YOTN if the Red Sox blow this game, I will make the game thread for Monday and my at the game mojo will bring a Red Sox victory on your birthday.
  6. At this point, Sandoval is a $90 million bag of garbage. That is not a personal attack on him, but commentary on his performance. He will have three years to turn things around, but as of now he is a bag of garbage.
  7. Did we give this guy a physical?
  8. I am not watching, but what is wrong with Price? Is his velocity down?
  9. Big Papi still has the fire in his belly. That was good to see. It was also good to see Farrell show some fire.
  10. As I said at the beginning of the thread, if he gives up 2 or less Homers, I'll be satisfied. He did a good job.
  11. Porcello continues with his tendency of giving up Home Runs.
  12. How dare you question his character. I am sure that he worked very hard at putting on all that weight.
  13. Hicks is a horror show in CF. I am unfamiliar with his defensive play. I thought he had a good reputation with the Twins.
  14. Porcello's stuff looks terrific tonight. Everything is moving.
  15. Ben can do an extra credit report if he likes.
  16. LOL!! I will never complain about a win, but that doesn't change the fact that Young stinks.
  17. If Porcello can stay down in the zone and give up 2 Home Runs or less, that is all I ask of him.
  18. Big Papi doing what he does best -- wreck the Yankees.
  19. The analysis is usually done in an emotional manner, but it is there 8-10% of the time. It is just hard to differentiate it from the purely emotional reactions. LOL!! For example, "Farrell, you idiot! Why are you letting Young bat against the righty reliever when you have Holt and Shaw on the bench!" That is really game analysis even though it is stated very emotionally. It is also something that I probably posted.
  20. Evaluating drafting is different from evaluating a trade. Both need some kind of hindsight, but scouting and drafting procedures should be done on more of a macro level. It would be ridiculous to complain about one draft pick or one bad draft. The evaluation of potential is very imprecise. Trades, on the other hand, are looked at and evaluated by fans and press on a more transactional basis.
  21. Does it look like ER will be back in the rotation by next week?
  22. Game threads are 90% emotion and 10% game analysis.
  23. We told the Boston.com people that we didn't care about their squabbles on their forum. Now, they seem to have turned their attention to dredging up squabbles here. Let's just discuss baseball. There is plenty of content there.
