Me? Never. I just think it's weird that you are still bringing up old s***. Seems like most everyone else has moved on.

I'm glad you agree that I won this heated sports debate. Another 1st round TKO for the peak of perfection, the zenith of TalkSox, the preeminent poster, aka me.

I honestly didn't know he was here.

I don't need them to step up to MLB this year. I just want them to get on track to be a MLB starter someday.

robot umps now

That's history pal.

I think that's because it's pretty clear who will win the ALW and ALC. We're not lining up the duck boats. We're talking about the division itself you silly goose.

I just spent 2 minutes on the other site and now need a stiff drink. I don't see how that could be enjoyable for anyone. I think we all get along here pretty well. I just don't see what the big deal is.

I'm hoping one of the other guys could step up as well.

I just don't get it anymore. The vast majority of older posters on here don't care about BDC. It seems to be it's just a few former BDC posters who keep posting about how it's not the same or whatever. It's been 3 years. If you still don't like how this board is moderated, I don't know what else to say. http://bostonredsoxforum.freeforums.net/

I always thought it was EYEDROPS?!?!?!?

If you weren't constantly whining about it and bringing it up, they wouldn't have to defend/deny.

And your post was subsequently merged into another thread by a moderator. So?

Sox were getting him to start in the OF tho............ LOL

The whining is you bringing it up over and over for no reason at all. Just sour grapes....................... LOL

Yes, he'd rather live in *checks notes* Detroit.

Why spend all this time whining about Ortiz when a s*** ton of Yankees are probably on that list? Does that invalidate their championships from the 90's? It's disingenuous to keep ranting and raving about Ortiz when (a) the whole list hasn't been released and ( the winingest team during the steroid era was the Yankees. Coincidence? Probably not. It's also really weird to posit that someone peaked after a leaked test result. Shouldn't that be when he saw a decline?

So how is that a bait and switch?

He thinks "who cares what paid shills actually think. I actually write for free. My opinion is not influenced by big baseball.

Is the first road trip of 2019 already over?

Ye of little faith.

David Ortiz "spikes" at 28 = steroids. Luke Voit "spikes" at 27 = nothing to see here.

Damon didn't become a traitor until he refused a trade to the Sox at the end of his career. That could have bridged the gap between him and the fans. He just thumbed his nose at them.

You know the names of everyone on that list, or no?

https://mlb.nbcsports.com/2019/03/27/opening-day-2019-team-by-team-previews/ AMERICAN LEAGUE EAST Boston Red Sox: Still the best team in baseball in our view. They still have the best offense of anyone and they may actually be more balanced than they were in 2018. Not that you need too much balance when you have Mookie Betts, J.D. Martinez and the other stars up and down the order. The rotation is likewise a strength with a healthy Chris Sale returning, the postseason David Price renaissance hopefully carrying over and a full year of Nathan Eovaldi. Whether the rotation is strong or great depends on Rick Porcello and Eduardo Rodriguez matching past performance or best-case expectations. The big issue, as everyone knows, is the bullpen. Craig Kimbrel is gone and, presumably, not returning. Joe Kelly left for L.A. As Tigers fans recall, GM Dave Dombrowski does not have a great track record in cobbling together bullpens, and the 2019 Red Sox’ bullpen is definitely a cobble job in progress. If the Yankees catch Boston, it’ll likely be because the late innings are killing ’em. New York Yankees: Like the Red Sox, the lineup is set. One can ask whether Troy Tulowitzki can really stay in the lineup and be an asset at short until Didi Gregorius comes back, but he’s had a nice spring. Aside from that the team is loaded as usual, with Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, Gleyber Torres, Miguel Andujar and Aaron Hicks causing all kinds of problems for opposing pitchers. And that’s before you figure that Gary Sanchez is due for a substantial bounceback. The pitching is the opposite situation from the Red Sox. New York’s bullpen is absolutely stacked with Chad Green, Zack Britton, Adam Ottavino, Dellin Betances and Aroldis Chapman constituting the best and hardest-throwing relief corps in baseball. They’ll be needed given Luis Severino’s shoulder injury and a general lack of organizational pitching depth. If things go south early, figure the Yankees to be in the market for a starter.
