  1. LOL!! We really don't know whether or not he is a good singer. It is a safe bet that he isn't a very good dancer.
  2. Every team has the same concerns.
  3. It's the damn snack chip and soft drink commercials. They should be outlawed as they encourage obese professional athletes.
  4. Do you think the coaching staff is holding him down and force feeding him nachos, pizza and beer. He is the only fat slob on the roster that I can see, so why wouldn't that be his fault? What about personal responsibility?
  5. I would be on board with this strategy, but I would be shocked if they dump Panda. By the way, at the rate that he is gaining weight, we may see Panda sporting a Mama Cass Muu Muu in September. Our marketing department would view it as an opportunity and sell the hell out of it.
  6. They' ll run the idea by Bill James first. LOL!!
  7. If Napoli gets moved at the Trading Deadline, they can move Hanley to first base this season. If it doesn't work out, they will know whether they need to get a first baseman in the offseason. Playing 2 months at first in meaninless games would be a good crash course to teach him the position without sacrificing another season. If we wait until next season to move Panda and hanley around the infield, the results would likely be disastrous.
  8. Reports are that the Padres have everyone for sale. It might be worth kicking the tires on a few of their pitchers, especially Shields. His salary isn't bad, and if the Padres want a nice prospect in return they would have to eat a chunk of that. That should leave plenty of other payroll for next season and beyond.
  9. Y So, it is the fans fault. Sure that's reasonable. Red Sox fans have shown their impatience by filling Fenway every game for baseball's highest priced tickets. The Cubs attendance has been down 12 percent under Theo. Red Sox attendance is holding steady. In fact, the 2014 last place team attendance was up from the 2013 Championship season. How did the Cubs fans express their patience? Was there a town hall meeting with Cubs officials. How have the Red Sox fans been impatient? Did an angry mob form around Fenway and hang Ben in efigy? I don't remember seeing that either. So, how is this fan impatience manifesting itself and how is it to blame for really poor decisions like giving Porcello an $82 million contract while obtaining no top of the rotation pitchers, or giving $72 million to a guy that can't rise above AAA? You make big claims about backing up your opinions with stats and facts, but this is nonsense backed up by nothing. It is the most meaningless type of opinion - pure speculation.
  10. You have avoided slumps making it hard to catch you. You are in great shape for the division win, but the playoffs are another story.
  11. start watching MMA. It is very entertaining.
  12. That is no different than you being a fan of the player but not his contract.
  13. No, I wasn't wrong. Neither were many others. The FO was wrong. That is an accurate statement,
  14. He's not that great and he's not that young. Not worth selling the farm for imo.
  15. They get drafted, but we have a really bad track record in that area. Really bad. We need to get some scouts that know something about pitching.
  16. it is becoming pretty obvious that Ben is clueless.
  17. This is what we have been missing.
  18. Ortiz is starting to hurt the ball regularly. Is this Daniel Nava?
  19. I'll PM him with Fred's number. He can call and tell him himself. They can reminisce.
  20. Manny Alexander got so excited that a syringe fell out of his pocket.
  21. That would be an interesting Matchup.
  22. Lol! You'll catch me ten years after I am dead and longevity runs in the family.
  23. ABY definitely, but I could not care less if one of those horse s*** organizations wins it.
