  1. a700 says that Duda sucks so that is all I need to know about the guy.
  2. I would say that you have a clear and objective perspective. But since you have posted no supporting data your opinions are not valid!
  3. I like to error ( if necessary ) on the side of caution so I would have pulled him with an eye for the playoffs. However, none of us know the exact nature and severity of his injury and it's current status. The decision to let him continue was made by people who know more details than any of us. Maybe Farrell is right that it was unlikely that he would aggravate the injury by remaining in the game.
  4. This is all common sense. But someone will make an issue out of at least part of it!
  5. I never said that the Sox never got anything good from Japan. Certainly Oki and Taz worked out well. I was referring to the big ticket guys. Also, I am of the belief that good talent remains in abundance in our own country. I don't see a need to be in on every so called lock from any country. It's one thing to be competitive, another to be irresponsible with gobs of money.
  6. I don't know the ins and outs of the Toronto payroll or system so I can't say anything with much conviction. However, Toronto has to pay somebody with huge upside to keep their offense intact. They are crazy if they don't keep Donaldson. It won't happen, but I would love to see him with the Sox. He is a beast.
  7. After the game explained that Nunez only "tweaked" his knee and that he did not aggravate it. His words. Mookie was a precautionary move because his hand was hurting more tonight.
  8. That was weak sauce for you Moon. Anyways, I'm kind of sick of the Sox chasing all the shiny brass rings from other countries. I have not seen a lot of value in those deals nor have I seen a big return for trading them with the exception of Sale.
  9. I was aware of his date of inception. And it is not relevant other than he should really know better than to start this anti-Yankee fan s*** here again. No one likes it among the vet posters here. I have seen caustic posts directed by all the good buddies from another place towards Jacko and I am having none of it. No one wants that s*** here and I do speak for many members who have expressed their concerns with me privately. So I would point out to you by virtue of what I have just said that my "swipe" does hold some weight. One more thing, keeping in mind, of course, that I am not a mod, personal attacks on talksox are not seen as a good thing and are discouraged by the two men that run this place.
  10. I'm done. If the OP really wanted an answer to his question he could have PMed the owner or the mod and asked. This question was posed with no positive intent and as such I can see that it will serve only to stir s*** up.
  11. What's not to understand Thunder? I stated an opinion shared by some senior ( long time members ). I'm not the one starting s***. I am sticking to facts.
  12. I was not around at the inception of Talksox but it could be part of the original business model or it could be a result of the owner realizing that some Yankee fans could add to the traffic and volume of posters on the board. Those are two guesses. In any case none of the established members here have a problem with a Yankee forum. It's mostly all Jacko and he is seen as harmless by most as he sticks to Yankees stuff mostly and when he does talk about the Sox his input is usually measured and accurate. We do not suffer Trolls on Talksox, least of which Yankee Trolls. This has rarely been a problem as evidenced by the current crop of Yankee posters who seem nice and also knowledgeable. So this is not a good idea for a thread at all. You new guys want to start s*** about a Yankee poster or a Yankee forum, well good luck with that as Jacko and the others are part of our community. And well, you guys have been seen as interlopers and detrimental to the board by more than several of the long time posters. So start some s*** and see what goes down. I'll be sitting here with my Porch Rocker laughing.
  13. That's cool. We have one member MSBULLDOGS who spent the summer touring Japan back about 7 years ago. He went to many baseball games and took tons of funny pictures.
  14. Let's see what Price brings.
  15. Be interesting to see how Benni does. Also to see what kind of greeting and ovations he gets if any.
  16. What about DH? Who and where?
  17. More blowmo please.
  18. One and done baby.
  19. All well stated gentlemen.
  20. I would have pulled him after 6 but I can see why they didn't.
  21. Me too. It's common sense.
  22. I'm with you on this. Play to win NOW. Not sure about leaving him in to pitch the 8th but hey, it was a special night for the guy so we should just lighten up on that.
  23. Fear may be a strong word. But you have my respect.
  24. End of debate. Dojji has spoken.
