  1. AHA!!!!!! Joe Morgan!!! That's the stupid f*** of which I speak. See, old timers know this is a bunch of s***.
  2. Ted who is that ass-clown black man that played for Cincinnati and was obnoxious as national annalist for so long? I can see his face and hear his voice. Anyways, as much as I hated that f***, he was seen as gritty.
  3. Oh f*** me sideways with a pineapple. What nonsense.
  4. This talk of grit being a racially charged term is a bunch of happy horseshit. Hose-A Altuve is gritty. Bert Campinaris was gritty. Just two of many exceptions to this silly idea. Give me a break. Go back to clutch. At least that stupid topic has no political edge to it.
  5. Yeah, where did this idea come from. I've been around the block a bunch of times. Never heard any mention of it.
  6. Lol. We as Sox fans have been so concerned about the loss of Ortiz's bat and how our offense would compensate for the loss of his production. The Jays lost their Papi in EE and Joey Batts has not been himself since 2015. Still, I see Toronto picking it up and playing much better ball. Much as I see the Sox being better that what we have seen so far.
  7. Lol. True. It is Manager Speak.
  8. Not mine presently. I continue to be patient if somewhat skeptical. Anyone signed to that disproportionate contract starts his career in Boston with a target on his back. That is the way Boston fans and media play things. Certainly having his two first years being total flops ( for whatever reason ) has not helped his status. Imagine if Porcello had sucked or had not improved last year? How would people have reacted? Pablow is in control of his own destiny. The quickest way to shut people up is to perform as expected. He has not done that so far.
  9. I think he may have meant that a small sample size of errors may not be indicative of anything. Still, Pablow needs to do much better in the field without trying to do too much.
  10. I am a little concerned about Hanley and his sore shoulder. But assuming it is no worse than last year I see no reason why he won't be able to step it up at the plate. Also, I wonder how severe Bogey's thumb injury is. A chronic problem could really have a bad effect on his batting.
  11. And if he continues to screw up he will be replaced.
  12. I think Pablow looks more athletic than what I remember of him in SF. A small sample sized subjective assessment to be sure. I think that he just needs a lot more reps. At least that is my hope.
  13. This season is so far from being over. They have played about 1/8 of their schedule. The Sox have not been able to consistently field their best team. There is much to like about what we have seen from the pen and the offense is just way too talented to falter forever. People get way too worked up over a mediocre start. Relax.
  14. His offensive numbers were in decline each of his last three years in SF. How does WAR reflect those numbers?
  15. Okay. Now I understand what you see. And yes, they did pull Pablow last spring. I just think the stakes are higher now. They need production out of that contract at some point and it's year 3. He has done almost completely nothing so far to earn his money.
  16. Yup. This team has way too much talent not to win a lot of games. I am not folding. There is no reason to panic.
  17. I loved Ghomes. Plus he happened to look sort of like Charles Manson. Who the f*** would want to fight that?
  18. I will always admire Dempster for that plunk. He was certainly a man of the people that day.
  19. Ridiculously bad signing. I am willing to watch him until June but after that he sits. I'd much rather put my trust in Hernandez or Rutledge. Or even the noodle bat Merrero. At least we know he has an outstanding glove.
  20. If it irritated you it had to be something! But I get it. He is a puke. They all can't be Tito!
  21. Moon if Pablow was not "earning" almost $20. mil/year there is no f***ing way he would start in front of Hernandez or someone else. He has been lousy in the field and is a near Mendoza hitter. I would fire a GM for imposing that kind of performance on my team if that is all that he could find to play 3rd base.
  22. I guess I'm one of those old guys that thinks most of the time the Sox face a pitcher they have not seen or know little about they struggle. Ugh.....
