  1. And you may as well add Virginia boy to that list as I lived there for 2 years. Furthermore, I've lived in MA for almost 30 years. Please see a dr, Fred. I think you may have heat stroke.
  2. No, you have completely made up this trend of the Sox ending their ST's on losing streaks. Again, your reading comprehension is just pathetic. They've had slow starts because their pitching hasn't been good enough. Typically, bats don't awaken until May or so. Since the Sox relied heavily on their bats, the cold weather really caused them to struggle as their pitching wasn't good enough to win low scoring games. It has nothing to do with ST, or your fictional poor ST performances.
  3. It's not a trend. It's complete fiction.
  4. It wasn't a pipe dream. It was called critcal thinking.
  5. But he's wrong because he's correlating the slow start with ST wins and losses, and has made up the poor ST records.
  6. 2008 was a failure! This is the longest Fred has had to wait for a championship during his Sox fandom. So sad.
  7. And not to burst Fred's bubble, but he is completely wrong about previous Spring Training results. Last year, they went 5-1-1 over the last 7 games. In 09 and 10, they had the seventh most wins out of all teams. But hey, facts don't matter around here, right?
  8. From ESPN: * Some numbers Juan Nieves must love in his first year as a big-league pitching coach: Going into Friday’s action, Red Sox pitchers were first in the major leagues this spring in ERA (3.89), opponent batting average (.244), opponent OPS (.700), opponent OBP (.308) and WHIP (1.25); second in opponent slugging percentage (.391); and tied for third in strikeouts (251).
  9. Ethier could put up monster numbers at that bandbox.
  10. Of course he does. He's the agent for both of them...
  11. That's way there is a big difference between realism and overwhelming negativity. "I hate the Red Sox so much, but they're my favorite team in the world!"
  12. I looked everywhere to find sources for his claim that they'll bring him up for game 3. Couldn't find any.
  13. I see, you just post the same response in every topic now?
  14. No way would Sale be traded.
  15. The trade would have been made after the 07 series. Maybe Johan puts them over the top and they win in 08 too, who knows?
  16. Middlebrooks is just not a #3 yet. He's a solid #6. Victorino 5th? No way.
  17. I've been saying this for weeks, but was told "you just want an ice cream cone now rather than a box later." And other nonsense like, you have to wait until June to bring him up. Meh, at least people have come around.
  18. Realism means getting a concussion from getting hit in the head = fragile? Yeah, that's not reality. Not even close.
  19. No, they don't understand this.
  20. Why do the Sox hide poor defenders in LF (Youk, Manny, Millar)? Because you don't really need any experience or judgement to play LF at Fenway. From now on, I'll just take all your 5,000 word posts as tongue in cheek. It's the only way they'd make sense.
  21. If you think I was comparing JBJ to Manny, I think you've been sniffing too much turpentine in the woodshop... You just keep saying that a LF at Fenway needs experience. Manny had none before coming here. Why not leave him in RF? Because RF is much tougher at Fenway and it's easier to hide a bad fielder there. Manny was not a good LF, though you posit otherwise. JBJ would be fine.
  22. Please provide an example for a short term guy taking a lesser paycheck to play somewhere to increase his value and gave up a substantially larger payday elsewhere.
