  1. Tipp is an ass-hat in person, though. I used to see him 2-3 times a week at The Gourmet Penguin coffee shop in North Attleboro. He used to co-own a martial arts studio nearby. He was always arrogant and stand offish. One morning a Mom and little boy came in to order food. The Mom pointed out to the boy who that man was. The little boy went over and asked for an autograph. Tipp said that he was not Andre Tippit and did not give the kid an autograph. What a dick. I had a customer who was a soccer Mom. She was also a something level black belt ( which Tipp claimed to be ). She said that she had several dealing with him and he is a ******** and a pussy. A pussy because he would not spar with her. Whatever. You need to remember that these big time athletes are people too. Many of them are not so nice. I've met dozens of Pats players over the years. Tipp stands out as a major disappointment.
  2. He lived there for a while, I think.
  3. I am afraid that MVP is 100% spot on here. I have lived near the stadium since 1989. I went to every game 1989 through 1999 including all scrimmages and pre-season games. The old Foxboro Stadium was a real football experience. As long as you could pinch in that piss for a while! The fans were real football people and the game was much closer to the fans. The beer was much cheaper and parking was $5. not $45. The new stadium is pretty to look at on TV but that is it. Most of the seats are way too far from the action and most fans have no f***ing clue who Jim Nance was. Mostly pink hat types and Stepford Fans like the old Atlanta Braves fans with their f***ing tomahawks. I can't stand the f***ing place.
  4. No he is not better than that. He is a 21 year old Major League player with a bunch to learn about the game. My money is on the kid. To me, he looks a hell of a lot better than Moncada has looked.
  5. He keeps getting walks though. And we all know a walk is as good as a hit!!1!!1!1
  6. Nah. It was a completely random event.
  7. True. Mike Lowell said the kid has all the tools and just needs reps.
  8. Lol. I kind of doubt Shaw would be so stupid from what I know of him. But you never know.
  9. This photo clearly shows that sending an average runner is stupid. Now if Granderson has a rag arm like say, Ellsbury, a fleet footed runner may have a chance. With Betts coming up a higher percentage chance was squandered. Oh well. This has nothing to do with being a rookie manager. Bonehead Farrell would have done the same thing and everyone here would have eviscerated him for it. Just a plain wrong decision.
  10. Holt was in the crapper.
  11. On the whole, that stadium sucks. It is a hole.
  12. Yeah and if you don't know any more than that then Pedroia is a giant f***tard by what he did. But one of the big Sox beat reporters explained what really led up to Pedroia saying what he said. I think it was Abraham but not sure. He explained step by step how the whole affair actually went. I don't remember the details but he exonerated Pedroia based on everything that happened before the "It's them" thing. I think that I read it last week.
  13. Oh f***. Prepare for hilarity when these two go at it.
  14. It fixed itself 28 minutes into the game.
  15. Of course he will be. He is still one of the best starters in the game.
  16. Cora f***ed up. Sending Price out for the 8th was getting greedy. Oh well. The Honeymoon is over.
  17. f***ing Comcast is out in my town apparently. The only reason I pay for this cable is so I can watch Sox games. f***.
  18. That is some funny s***. I liked the cop waving the white towel.
  19. But it's more than that. His age, combined with his injury history, is cause for concern about his ability to perform well going forward. I can't see how anyone would doubt his resolve to be a good player. It's just physiology.
  20. Like, holy s***. Still that ball barely cleared the wall. For 6.5 mil we have a right to expect moonshots. DD needs to get it together and trade Holt, JBJ, and Moreland asap. A decent pen arm would be all that he could get but remember Hembree is lousy so another arm would ensure a deep drive in October.
