    I've never idolized anyone, particularly an athlete that gets paid big money to play. I have more respect for ham'n eggers who punch a clock for 40 plus years and then die. Papi has been fun but I don't have a sentimental attachment to him. I'm not looking forward to his leaving I am just in more of a hurry to get Hanley off the field and concentrate on the one thing that he can do well most of his time. And other than having f***ed Meriah Carey when she was a very young smokeshow, I have no enduring respect for Jetter either. These are just entertainers. Not people who change the world for the better.

    Nice AB Papi. Lol.

    This game is about to be very over. f***.

    Past ball or WP does not matter. It's just the Sox way of doing things now. Now there is a man on 3rd with one out. Oye.
  5. Spudboy
    Yeah the ESPN crew is all over the Sox and how they are bad at this or that. Even Cora who usually cuts the Sox a break let loose on them. Yikes.
  6. Spudboy
    I think so.
  7. Spudboy
    The bats are asleep.
  8. Spudboy
    Oh Mookie.

    That is why I was asking about that play. He did not run in to converge on the ball and possibly make a throw to the plate. Just lazy as playing.
  10. Spudboy
    If he would only put in the extra work to become better I would not bitch that much every time he misplays a ball. He doe not do that, however. I'll be glad when he is the DH.
  11. Spudboy
    That and the Hannigan deal. That was pretty smart. To bad he got hurt.
  12. Spudboy
    Thanks. I do agree that the poor play is on the players. But as a supervisor or manager it was always my responsibility to correct the flaws if I could or find a better replacement.
  13. Spudboy
    Honestly Doc, have you ever seen a Yankee or Sox team play this poorly?
  14. Spudboy
    Porcello is pitching like Nuke LeRoush breathing through the wrong eyelid. Man is this the pits.
  15. Spudboy
    Did anyone see Hanley read and play that single to left?
  16. Spudboy
    It's hopeless to fight it. That is our team.
  17. Spudboy
    Lol. I was wondering that myself. I bet it's at least $5. although I would hand them out for free to thank fans for showing up in the rain.
  18. Spudboy
    But not beyond his responsibility.
  19. Spudboy
    Plus it's just raw outside.
  20. Spudboy
    I would have been pissed if Hanley had taken out Bogey.
  21. Spudboy
    The Sox are 10 games under .500 and have won only 1/3 of their games against division rivals. These numbers do not indicate that they will recover.
  22. Spudboy
    So the game is not rained out?

    I always enjoy your stats and supporting information as I generally learn some things. But in this case I believe that Ben would have done his job if he used the computer models and actually constructed a team that did what the model predicted. In this case he decided to build a team that has failed. Under performance or not, he put this team together and he must own the failure, too. As for Farrell and the other coaches? If Ben assembled this group of Manager and coaches or if he just signed off on some of them then their failure to produce is also on him. As someone who has managed the work of many people for many years I always accepted the blame and responsibility for the efforts of my staffs. That is part of a manager's job.

    With all the blood in the water about who is at fault and with so many calling for Farrell and Ben to be fired I have a question. My opinion is that neither will be fired until after the 2015 season is over. Maybe I am way off here but that would seem to be out of character for this ownership group. I think? Anyway, who would be suitable replacements for both? My assumption is that it would be easier to replace a manager. Identifying and hiring the best GM would be much harder to do. I'd like to see the Sox hire someone with experience as a MLB GM. Someone who has a record of building solid teams. And someone who has a good working relationship with the other GMs. I have no idea who that could be. I wonder if the Sox know?
  25. Spudboy
    Yes, I have acknowledged that.
