    I am reading that teams looking to upgrade their starting staff and potential competition for Hamels are the Dodgers, Yankees, Cardinals, and Cubs. Stiff competition with deep pockets. I can hear the whiny excuses when we land Eric Bedard 2.0 and one or more of the other teams land the prize catches.
  2. a700hitter
    True.
  3. a700hitter
    I agree. I hate losing to those guys.

    I knew he mention of Gator would get a response from you. I don't think Greeny was a good OFer, but he wasn't as bad a people made him out to be. I think he was better than HanRam is.

    I think this is accurate, but it was not a big value play. If anything Ben paid a premium price here and established a new bar. It was surprising to me, because the Red Sox have not been in the habit of setting the market since Theo departed.

    Hanley is not quoite as bad in LF as Daniel Murphy was when the Mets tried him out there in 2009. But he is mich worse than Manny and maybe even worse the Mike Greenwell.

    I am encouraged by what I have seen and read about Johnson, but concerned about Owens. I'd look to see if the Phillies have any interest in him.
  8. a700hitter
    He has been stepping up the k's which is encouraging, but until last night it came with an alarming increase in HR balls. Time will tell. If he fails, this team is cooked in 2015. Even if he performs like a #2, I still think $20 million/year for a #2 establishes a new market value level for #2's. I can't think of many #2's making $20 million/yr.
  9. a700hitter
    That is what we need from him.
  10. a700hitter
    Yes. We both agree that the contract extension came too fast. And I think we both agree that he is not an ace. I am holding out hope that he can step up and pitch like a #2 with under a 4 ERA. I am not sure that he will, but a case of beer will make for an interesting bet and some fun.

    Not you Spud, but don't do that. Respect the "ignore" feature unless you are stirring the pot for a troll.
  12. a700hitter
    ^ You are irrelevant to me, so why bother responding when i don't view you?
  13. a700hitter
    It was and is a legitimate thread. The state of our pitching is a huge concern not just to fans, but I heard last night's pre-game radio show and Farrell is very concerned as well. The porblem is not that thread but a few jackholes (and you know who they are) who insist on demeaning posters for their opinions about baseball and the Red Sox.

    He'd rather accuse you of something, which by the way, I don't think anyone else took it the way he did.
  15. a700hitter
    Just proves that your hate filter for iortiz has short circuited your ability to read and comprehend. He was clearly asking her to bet $. His reference to "boys" was not sexist or exclusionary. It was clearly a reference distinguishing between child and adult. Otherwise the invitation in the same post to bet money makes no sense. He rebuffed the offer to bet a sig saying it was for "boys". Certainly, it should be clear to you by now that ioriz is someone who prefers to bet cash, and he invited her to bet cash. He didn't say sig bets were for girls. English is your first language but when colored by your hate filter, you get things pretty messed up. But by all means, tell iortiz what he meant to say when he posted that, because you know better than he what was in his mind.
  16. a700hitter
    Thank you. Good luck!
  17. a700hitter
    Plus, our fans and friends here will not know who to root for or against. Their hate will consume them and we will just be haqving fun. Don't bother reseraching U.S. IPAs yet. I'm usually pretty good on these bets.
  18. a700hitter
    Israel, did you open your books for 1 more Porcello bet?
  19. a700hitter
    You didn't. You said that sig bets were for boys not for men, but today in the US all references must be gender neutral or you get accused of stuff. So, you see the "victim mentality" requires that you say sig bets are for children not for adults, and then you would only be accused of hating children. LOL!!!
  20. a700hitter
    Oye.
  21. a700hitter
    Signig a guy to a long term contract that continues into his 40s just makes no sense.
  22. a700hitter
    No, don't close it yet. Leave it open for one more bet. Although I think the FO could have waited until June to have extended Porcello, I do think he will be our best starter. If his ERA is over 4, we are in deep poo as a team. Plus, he is on one of my fantasy teams. Let's show the jackholes here that betting can be done between friends and that it is not an act of war. LOL! But let's make the bet for a case of beer. I'll wager an American IPA of your choice and you wager a fine Mexican beer. I'll take the under 4 with no qualifiers. What do you say? It should be interesting friendly competition.
  23. a700hitter
    A very enjoyable game for a change-- well pitched and good defense. Thatks how the game is played. Porcello has continued to strike ouit more men then he has in the past, and yesterday he was able to do it without elevating his pitches and having the hitters turn them into home runs. That is what he will need to do to be a top of the rotation guy-- miss more bats and keep the ball in the ballpark.
  24. a700hitter
    If they don't like monetary bets, then they can wager signatures. I believe that there is at least one of those on the table, and we have been doing those at TalkSox for years. If people don't even want to make a gentleman's pinkie bet or signature bet, it indicates that they have no conviction in the stuff that they are blathering.

    A little superstitious are we?
