    I'm not saying you were. I was just saying even if they were allocate more picks towards pitching, the recent track record leads me to believe that they'd probably struggle to develop those guys.

    Being thrown out on a close play is fine. Being thrown out by 5 feet is hot garbage (ala Hanley). These aren't Dale Sveum's Sox anymore... There's no excuse for it.

    You also said "only other player" so I guess your research skills are just as bad?

    Given that DUMBrowski is the new guy here, it will be interesting to see if the draft strategy is tweaked at all. There haven't been any substantial scouting changes, have there?

    f*** the Cubs.

    He played for the Sox?

    Spud, even if they spent the first 10 rounds only drafting arms, how many of them would actually pan out? The Sox have a poor history of developing pitchers. It seems like they are more adept at developing positional players. I'd say keep drafting the best players and use them as trade bait for pitching...

    There's NO question that Roller Derby is more of a sport than the Olympic decathalon, or at least it used to be 25 years ago...

    Hanley seems to run into a few outs every week. I'm not sure you can coach that out of him at this point. I just don't find that much fault with this coaching staff in terms of how the players are running the basepaths. It's not like they hired Wendell Kim again.

    I'm not sure I've ever seen a Sox team where the pitching was great and the offense sucked.

    Yes, some fans liked Francona, some did not. Some fans like Farrell, some do not. Just because you like Francona, doesn't mean you'd automatically like Farrell. Some fans liked what Valentine brought to the table in Spring Training. To each their own. The beer and chicken thing was a red herring. No one should care about that anymore and shouldn't have cared that much back then either.

    In the NBA, you barely get dinged up from contact. Everything possible foul is called these days. McHale isn't clotheslining Rambis in '16 NBA finals. In MLB, you have a hard object launched in your direction that is likely to break bones or give you a concussion. There is additional rotator cuff strain that pitchers face due to repetitive motions. To me, MLB may be less athletic than the NBA, but is more physically demanding due to the higher likelihood of sustaining injuries.

    Being physically fit has nothing to do with playing a demanding sport. Is a 7 footer who jogs back and forth and can barely jump playing a more physically demanding sport than a starting CF? That's up to interpretation. Is your question really "which sport requires the most aerobic exercise?" Maybe you need to provide a better description of what you mean by "physically demanding."

    Gomes isn't doing anything these days?
  16. mvp 78
    Damon refused to come back here when he was on the Tigers. Screw him as well.

    Based on injuries: NFL > NHL > MLB > NBA

    But then how would you know if hot single asian ladies were in your area?

    Agreed. One time, I was holding my son who had just crapped his diaper when we landed at LAX and it was starting to leak out. As we were getting off the plane, Gov Patrick told us what a great job we did with our son. I stopped to say thank you and then bolted for the nearest men's bathroom. Luckily, there was no changing table so I just put him up next to the sinks, threw a changing mat down and grabbed about 20 wipes and a change of baby clothes. At least I didn't get s*** on my collar that time!

    I've got about 12 months to go before I can stop changing diapers. The worst part is the first 6 months when the s*** is soupy and tends to leak out of the diaper. My 18 month old is fine except for when she decides she can't stop kicking while getting changed.
  21. mvp 78
    I don't mind a little role reversal every now and then.
  22. mvp 78
    It's good enough for a flawed WC contender. It's not good enough to have a long run in October.
  23. mvp 78
    Handling? God, no! Squishing? Sure! Spiders and snakes are not pets... They'll kill you when your back is turned. You need to strike first.
  24. mvp 78
    I do almost everything in the house, except for laundry and cleaning the floors. Bugs don't bother me. I've seen scarier diapers in my house than bugs.

    You should add this to this thread: http://www.talksox.com/forum/threads/16140-Site-issues Maybe YZ could disable that add that's on the top of the site? I've noticed that add as well.
