    Total payroll in those years was probably $150 k. And in the early 60's they weren't even trying to win. Yawkey was paying attention to his other business interests and drinking in those year. Once O'Connell became GM, things changed quickly and the team's improvement was astonishing. The franchise was brought back to life. A GM can make a huge difference. Ben is a water boy with no business savy and probably less baseball knowledge.

    I have to give you credit on this one. I wouldn't have put money on it. As you know, I am losing an ERA bet on Porcello. I never deluded myself into thinking that the Tigers were stupid enough to give us a top of the rotation 26 year old pitcher for Cespedes, but I did think he would be a solid 4 possibly a 3. He has been horrible. If he gets his act together, I think he is a good back of the rotation pitcher, but no was is he a number 1 or 2 and no way is he worth his contract.

    2013 was a perfect season. Everytime someone made a mistake, some one else picked him up that season. The timing of that team was unbelievable. Many of Farrell's bonehead moves were covered up by his team that season/

    Last year we had no meaningful baseball after the opening weekend, but we spent half the season basking in the glow of the 2013 championship. This 2015 team is worse than last year's team. We have had no meaningful baseball for more than one and a half seasons. Enough already! You are boring your fanbase to death.

    Tomorrow's game with Kelly starting should also be a lot of fun.
  6. a700hitter
    Not his fault. There were unforeseeable consequences beyond his control. It's a freak thing. It's not like he ever finished last before this. Oh, wait...

    Sudden Sam. He burned out quickly, but he was spectular for a short time.

    Masterson is in the process of taking an axe to this game.

    That is the difference between hustle and Hanley. Marusnick got hit pretty solid on the elbow. He didn't jump around and grab his elbow waiting for the trainer to rub it and give it a kiss. He popped up and ran like a bat out if he'll and kept going when he noticed our slugvof a leftfielder sauntering after the ball. Did you see Hanley make that catch at the end of the 3rd inning where he went to the ground and looked like a turtle stuck on his back. This LF experiment has to end.

    Our plus defense on display again. Two runs scoring on a stolen base. Oye!
  11. a700hitter
    Good job! You are giving me a vocabulary lesson.

    I am so glad that Wade Miley gave Johnson advice. I wonder if the advice was "hey kid, don't suck like me". Farrell should just keep these kids away from our suck-ass veterans. Miley could only dream of having Johnson's curveball.

    Orsillo's replacement is all excited. This is the first multi run inning and lead that he has announced. He got all excited on Papi's fly out.
  14. a700hitter
    Bogaerts is really learning how to handle the bat.
  15. a700hitter
    Two runs and working on more this inning. I am getting excited.
  16. a700hitter
    I think you meant "sensibilities" above. The off season thread will start much earlier than last year.
  17. a700hitter
    That last one that was hit was a hanger, but his curve ball does remind me of Bruce Hurst's curve.
  18. a700hitter
    You should have started a discussion thread about the rotation. That would have generated a good deal of spirited friendly debate.
  19. a700hitter
    no stats were needed to know that the pitching and D would be a problem, just some knowledge of the personnel.
  20. a700hitter
    yep
  21. a700hitter
    His intellect is so massive that he is beyond our comprehension.
  22. a700hitter
    Oh goodie, Joe Kelly gets the start tomorrow night. And Daniel Nava is back. We are on our way!
  23. a700hitter
    I am looking forward Seeing Johnson and Velasquez pitch.
  24. a700hitter
    You criticized me, not the other way around. Don't personalize the mockery. You are not the only one holding the views that I sarcastically mocked. Many hold those views, and I can't think of anyone who held all of those views. I was just throwing out all of the excuses that I have read with which I disagree.

    Oh get on the Whambulence.
