lulz.. The bitch forgot the two letters.

I do.

I wonder where Emz is? GO SOX!!!1!!11!1

I like that!

I can accept that.

Bell you clearly do not have an understanding of the game!!!!

Good stuff. Not as good as your avatar, but good.

Yeah. I don't know the game at all. The new additions are such a treat to have aboard. I wonder if that guy even thought of posting without insulting me. Alas, I am a dope who does not understand how baseball works, and I deserve to be ridiculed because everyone knows how difficult I am to get along with on this site.

I learned a new phrase to day. "Marino him".

Thanks.

He supposedly loves the Sox and wants to play here. But as MVP implied, $$$$$$ is likely going to be the key.

Has anyone here seen Ortiz walk???? Jeez. The guy walks like he has a load of s*** in his pants. His feet are f***ed up.

Great! Now the Sox will limp home after losing 2 of 3 from the Twins!

Is he injured? Why would you say that he is done?

In a case like this what team gets priority in claiming him? Does he have to clear waivers first or can a team just sign him? I can never keep some of this s*** straight so I am asking you folks. Can we get him? Will it cost a draft pick or players?

lol. Not sure if ass juice is a step up from using phallic references all the time. But I laughed.

But even the "Good " umps are bad. That is the point. 13% failure is not acceptable in any industry I ever worked in. Engineering and management usually emphasis minimizing failures. Baseball just accepts it ( for now ) because it has always been done that way. Weak sauce.

Nine games. There goes a chunk of his current value. Boy. The fact that KC wants him gone should worry people more. Why do Sox fans believe that he would straighten out here?

Well if Jacko is pissed then we know this kid is legit. Not sure where this fits on the chart, though.

lol I bought my first bike ( '73 Honda CL100 ) used from my best friend in the spring of my senior year in HS. I spent most of my college tuition money on it! My Mom did not know! One night she came home and after parking her Pinto she came inside and asked "When is Keith going to get HIS motorcycle out of our garage." I remember that about two days later or neighbor asked her how she liked MY new bike!!! Talk about s*** hitting the fan!!!

Yes they were based in West Bridgewater where they still have a multi-line dealership. They had a shop in North Attleboro where I currently reside. Dick was a crusty old fart but boy could he ride!!!! And he came to Miles Standish alone with three new bikes for anyone to try out for part of the day. Great marketing.

Fortunately we have a real MD on Talksox. Jacksonianmarch know his s*** when it comes to sports medicine and baseball related injuries. It will be interesting to hear what he has to say.

I don't have any good pics of my 400F but here is what it looked like stock. The first mass produced Cafe bike from Japan.

Sorry to hijack the thread but we are having fun. Yes, all of the Bettencourt boys raced. Having your Father Dick Bettencourt being the Granddaddy of Honda on the east coast sure helped them. John was a super nice guy. He was one of the most talented riders in the country at one point. For a short stint he was a Factory Honda rider and at one point was near the top of the AMA Formula 750 standings on a Home built TZ750. He got mixed up with drugs and lost his life. I used to ride with his Father at Miles Standish State forest. Dick would show up on a Sunday morning driving a Caddy convertible with a Holsclaw trailer full of new Honda dirt bikes and Budweiser. It was from him that I learned the phrase "Horsepower is like tits. There is no such thing as too much."

I started riding in 1974 on a CL100 Honda. My 3rd street bike was a red 1975 400F. I did most of the small mods myself, I had a Boston Cycles mechanic who raced install a Yosh cam and then had Performance Engineering in Brighton re-jet and synch the carbs. I installed a Lockhard oil cooler, Koni shocks, 15 weight fork oil, K-81 Dunlaps, and a color matched Camber1/4 fairing. I was setting the bike up for Mod-Prod and Endurance Racing. I ran into Johnny Bettencourt in the pits at Daytona in 1976. He had a blue 1975 400F with a color matched 1/4 fairing that his cute girlfriend was riding in Florida. He was racing for Yoshimura East at the time. One of those KZ900s with gobs of horsepower and flexi frames! Anyhow, we got to talking about the 400Fs. I had just ordered my fairing at a show in Daytona but the tinted windscreen was on back order. Johnny offered to loan me his spare clear windscreen. That was wicked cool of him. I rode that bike around for several months with his windscreen on it until mine came in and I drove down to Bridgewater to return his. Too bad he got so f***ed up on coke. He was easily one of the nicest and most talented riders I have known. I have owned dozens of bikes. And while the 400F was not the best bike I owned, it was and still is my favorite street bike.
