If he needs to call out in the media as a last resort, fine. Why do it as your first interaction with a player? It's just getting off on the wrong foot. "From time to time" is fine with me. It just seems unwarranted in this instance. If Tito had ripped his team on September 15th, it would have been within his right to do so.
How is my point of view "unproven conjecture?" it's an opinion. One that is no less factual than yours.
1. Edmonds was a former Cardinal. How does that apply?
2. Larussa hated Rasmus and wanted him off the team. Calling him out was a last straw, not part of an introduction.
And stop the whole "missed my point" glibness. We see your points, but don't agree with them.
Shouldn't "impact" mean above average, not average? If he's average, he'll have zero impact. If he's below average, he'll have a negative impact (positive impact if above, etc.).
EN, we didn't miss the point. We just don't agree with the conclusion.
Your point: CC should have just called BV back and it wouldn't be an issue
My point: BV should have just kept his mouth closed and it wouldn't be an issue
I don't get why writers get sand in their vaginas over Truck Day. I like truck day. I'd never go, but it's nice to see it on the news as it helps me forget about crappy winter weather for a minute or two.
How soon til pitchers and catchers?
This message board is largely ambivalent to CC.
Talk radio is ambivalent to CC.
I'm just not seeing where you are getting "most fans" from. Most fans are mad at Beckett/Lackey and could care less about CC.
With Garza, it's not about the money. They've said that the organizations with the pitching prospects they want in return are the Yanks and Jays. Fact is, the Sox just don't match up, unfortunately.
You don't get it. If they don't outright say Tek and Wake aren't coming back, clearly the FO wants them here featured in prominent roles. Right? I mean it's their duty to tell us fans everything at all times. So if they didn't want them back they would have stormed onto 98.5 to let everyone know. Clearly. In fact, I bet Ben the Boob will sign them to long term deals and is probably consulting with FrancoMa as we speak!
CC has BV over. Does not offer BV a beverage. BV complains to WEEI. Media freaks out. Curmudgeons on talksox complain that you must offer your boss beverages.
It'd not about Carl, it's about BV needing to know what not to say to yhe media. Otherwise, there will be many other instances where he has foot in mouth syndrome. He just isn't as adept at dealing with the media as he thinks he is.
