    Do you think so? The Rays announcers thought that it had something to do with the new rule.

    A crazy end to the Ray-Jays game on the new slide rule at Second Base.

    I heard that the middle of May is the most optimistic timetable for ERod.

    The young star Mookie, the old Lion Ortiz, and the new ace and closer. What a pleasure to watch! I forgot what it was like to watch a Red Sox starting pitcher with a commanding mound presence. On the downside, Farrell's teams still run the bases like idiot bush leaguers.

    He has had nothing beyond a couple of rumored feelers. There have been no job offers -- not as GM. I hope he lands a GM job elsewhere, because his organization will not concern me when it comes to competing for pitching talent.

    Postponed? Damn!

    It would be hard to find bad pizza in Bensonhurst.

    LOL!! I am just a sucker for any Presidential history. Despite the fact that I have come to really despise all politicians, I am a student of Presidential history. I will visit any Presidential Library if it is in the vicinity of my travels. I have been to the JFK library twice. A 1964 high school yearbook designed and edited by my brother that was dedicated to JFK is in that Library. It ma be very nerdy, but to me that is pretty cool.

    What was your favorite pizza place in Brooklyn?

    What baffles me is that three new stadiums have been built without retractable domes -- CitiField, Yankee Stadium and the Twins ballpark.

    At the Union Oyster House, ask to be seated in the JFK booth if they are not too busy. He had dined at that booth and there is a commemoration plaque in the booth. You can combine the best clam chowder with sight seeing.

    Billy Martin too and Ralph Houk patented the throw down and kick of the hat.

    Let's go Red Sox!!
  14. a700hitter
    Speaking only for myself, that is not true. I respect both of you and your opinions.
  15. a700hitter
    No. Don't take your ball and go home. If you continue to argue losing cases, you will become associated with those cases. A good litigator settles the cases that he knows are likely losers.

    I think this makes you a homer. There is nothing wrong with that. It means you are a passionate fan. Know thyself.

    As the reasons and support become and more tenuous, the credibility decrease proportionately.
  18. a700hitter
    Evaluating pitching has been a weak point for the Re Sox organization for more than a decade. Maybe Ben looked at the same numbers that kimmi is posting, but he should have watched him pitch more. The stuff just isn't there.

    A person's race, religion, ethnic background do not effect a player's performance. Weight directly impacts his performance. You are drawing a false equivalency.
  20. a700hitter
    No. Sandoval is bigger now than he has ever been. No one is disputing that. He has reached a weight at which no one can perform. It is that simple. Hopefully, he takes this as a wake up call and starts to drop some weight. I meant to say that no one here is biased against Pablo because he is fat. We are just acknowledging that he can't perform at his current weight.
  21. a700hitter
    He's not an alcoholic. But plenty of alcoholics have performed atvery highlevels as long as they were not drunk during the game. Mickey Mantle is the first name that pops to mind. The problem with being obese (and he is obese --his fictional weight is 255) is that you simple can't perform at that weight at the major league level in a competent manner. i am sure that there are some 200 lb women that are very good dancers, but they can't be a prima ballerina at that weight. No one is biased against fat people.
  22. a700hitter
    Despite the questionable assumption, I answered the question days ago. Kimmi reads everything, but continues to say that no one has answered her question. The answer is "No" because Pablo's upside if he turns the clock back is not high enough to justify the wait (not weight) and keep Shaw on the bench.
  23. a700hitter
    Kimmi, it is called humor. The jokes are not meant to bolster any argument. Why so serious?
  24. a700hitter
    At his listed weight of 255 from last year (which we know is a ficton), he is 30 -4- lbs overweight at 5'11".
  25. a700hitter
    The guy's biggest asset is that he does eat innings, but he just doesn't have the stuff to be a top of the rotation pitcher. He is not a #1 or 2, except on a last place team. Oh... wait.. LOL!!
