  1. From a McAdams atricle: "Right now, it's just stiff," explained Benintendi. "We're just going to come back tomorrow and see how it feels. "It was bad baserunning. It shouldn't have happened. I shouldn't have made a move toward third base. That was my mistake." This kid is great. He f***ed up and took ownership of it. What's not to like about him?
  2. Sox are calling it a sprained knee so we can be sure he will have reconstructive surgery this winter.
  3. Cool. On that day I decided that I did not like Bonds and I'll tell you why. Between innings he was in short left playing catch with the left field ball girl. Now this girl could catch and throw. Bonds was hurling balls that would short hop in front of her and the ball would squirt pass her. She would have to run back and retrieve it. Meanwhile, Bonds would be making fun of her and yucking it up with his shortstop. Big man. Gets off on making a young girl look foolish. So at every opportunity while the juice head was on fire with his bombs, I would tell this story to anyone who was impressed by Bonds. I think it's the least I could do for the cause of justice.
  4. So you are a "Go big or go home" type of guy. Still, a well timed bunt in a big moment can be huge.
  5. Lol. Let your hair down! It's clusterf***!!!!1!!
  6. Or at least bring back the days when there were all types of plunkings and cleared benches!!!!
  7. I have been to one other MLB stadium for a game. The Vet in Philly circa 1986 or 1987. Pittsburg at Phillies. I saw a skinny Bonds play left.
  8. Dojji Post Of The Year.
  9. Yes, we call Lackey Horseface ( not to be confused with Texeira ). Hence Hembree is Horseface Part Deux.
  10. Aren't the Rays tied into a contract with the city or county until 2000 or 2025 or something? The issue is that bridge traffic makes it hard to draw fans from the "mainland". They want to build a new stadium in the county where Tampa is. They need to be released from the St. Pete contract first, I believe. I still want to go to the Trop for a game. It looks fugly (except for aerial views ) but I've never seen the Sox anywhere but Fenway and I've never seen a game in a dome.
  11. Major lulz. Porcello is a Jersey boy too. I don't know his career path all that well but he was brought up early - ish at 20 or 21.
  12. Let us know what you think of them. Holly was / is a good writer and both are educated and articulate. Dale Arnold knows a ton about hockey so don't be surprised if they talk about the Bruins a bunch.
  13. Lol. Dale & Holly are usually pretty good in the afternoon. The rest of 'eei's programing can be painful to listen to.
  14. Yup. The guy has hit an awful lot in the past.
  15. Vlad would swing at anything and many times make good contact. Too bad he had bad wheels.
  16. I've always been annoyed by the way that stadium is microphoned up. At least there were no cow bells or vevuzualas or whatever those pieces of s*** are called. I always wanted to throttle that lame ass prick who shouted "Damon, Damon".
  17. He has been pitching MUCH better in his previous 7 appearances. Who would of though pitching from the stretch would benefit him so much?
  18. Why is it that we get the goofiest looking mother f***ers on our pitching staffs? We have the above mentioned Garden Nome, Horseface Part Deux ( Hembree ) , and Beaver Boy Ross.
  19. Excellent post.
  20. Or maybe he has an organic problem with his body that time off can heal? Overall, I suspect that you are correct. It's more likely that Pap is being Pap. You know. A dope.
  21. Your description is apt. I think that this situation will calm down soon. Mostly because I suspect bullpen performance is cyclical. Or maybe I just hope so.
  22. Maybe so but that does not mean that a team should not be prepared to bunt when the situation arises. Certainly a team with speed like the Sox could sneak a few in successfully.
  23. Or, a team could prepare for such a contingency by teaching and practicing bunts. As a rule I favor swinging away in most cases. But a well timed and well placed bunt can be a weapon too.
