Just wasn't feelin' O'Reilly. It was kind of a grainy picture.
-
Just having fun with it. I needed a break from Boxxy. I am not commenting on Dubya himself, positively or negatively.
-
PG was more reasonable and less antagonistic than Muggah. I didn't mind Pumpsie, and I don't mind Fred. Elk and Bell and Boomer are all good posters though who seem to have come from "the other site".
-
Thats fine, everyone has their blow-ups, but I'm not pessimistic about the team. This team is going to the playoffs.
-
Good lord, get ahold of yourself. You're not getting banned I'm pretty sure. Just stop making yourself out to be the victim when you're the obvious aggressor. You made your points for Miller and I made mine. I just don't feel like going in circles over this anymore. You keep trying to tell the audience how I perceive your POV, and you're just way off. This isn't rational behavior and I'm not going to spend my evening getting headaches.
-
You're spinning it again. Okay, seems peaceful. Still peaceful. I even admit you're correct in theory that anyone can technically pan out. and now it's out of hand. Somehow I was out of line disagreeing with you.
-
Yep, off the bench. And you're absolutely right, for once. That isn't relevant! How does this justify your holding out hope for Miller to contribute or that he can somehow gain command of his pitches? Your logic is so flawed. He's 27 and still hasn't reached his ceiling, or even gained command of his pitches. That should be end of discussion for most people, but you just keep splitting hairs.
-
Yup, I saw that. What's your point LOL. And how does it relate to your rather silly comparison to Hamilton? You could save some face by admitting you're way off in your analysis of Miller.
-
They also kept Darnell McDonald. What's your point? You're blathering ignorance and looking like a complete fool.
-
Totally different. Hamilton had the talent and the skills to be a big league talent. Miller has the raw talent, but doesn't have the fine skills and touch to harness it. It would be similar if Miller was 25, a recovering alcoholic who had a 97 mph fastball that he could actually locate, and the Sox gave him a chance to strut his stuff. Miller's already in his prime years and hasn't done anything to show he's improving.
-
The talent evaluators are on my side. Lol.
-
In one ear, out the other. I've made my case. I shouldn't have to explain it to you several times over, but I'll do it one last time. It's unrealistic to hold out hope because he's been in the league for a long time now. There's a point where its unreasonable to hold out hope. If Tim Tebow still sucks at passing a couple years from now, I will say that the hope is gone. Andrew Miller is now 27 years old and hasn't gained command of his pitches. If he was 20 it would be different.
-
And he keeps making me out to be a pessimist. You're entitled to be unrealistic, just as I'm entitled to give my realistic opinion. SFF just thinks anyone who doesn't agree with his way excessive opinions is a pessimist. Look what he's doing. He's ranting about pessimists after every post I make. It's ridiculous. My days of discussing things for 10 pages, knowing they're going nowhere, went down the crapper when my laptop blew up. He has a unique positive spin on things, and its appreciated sometimes, but now he's ranting because I disagreed with him.
-
I would be, but he's just going to keep going with the "i'm not expecting anything" route. It's his thing to hide behind those strawmen. My logic is sound, SFF is just letting his fantasy-world optimism get to him. I'm just telling it how it is. Andrew Miller isn't going to be good. Ever. If he was, several teams wouldn't have already given up on him.
-
I'm not going to spend an hour trying to debunk your theories that "he could be good" when I don't even interpret your argument that way. This is why you're still the king of the straw. All I said is that you're unrealistic by holding out hope, or saying "if he could harness the goodness of [small sample size]". I'm not about to spend 10 pages on this with you like I did with your silly Salty obsession you had last season. I've made my point.
-
You're still holding out hope for Tug "The Player To Be Named Later" Hulett, I didn't expect you to understand.
-
-
You can't take any realistic criticism? I personally think this team could realistically win 95 games. I'm a REALIST. You're not being realistic by saying that Andrew Miller could be good some day. You know that when your argument is that "If he could harness..." Reality is that Miller stinks. He will never be what he was hyped up to be.
-
It's kind of like holding out hope that someday Brady Quinn or Matt Leinart might become the QBs they were projected to be. In theory, you're right, it's just not very realistic after all of this time.
-
There's just a certain point when your talent stops mattering and it's time to be realistic, not just in baseball, but every sport. Miller stinks, and he's probably never going to pan out.
-
Rondo has been insane today. Celtics win. Very entertaining game.
-
Wow, awesome game vs. the Knicks, 103 all, headed to OT. Pierce hit a 3 to tie with 4.9 left.
-
Yeah, I don't see any legitimate argument to be made for Doubront having a sub-4 ERA. If it were that simple, there would be no reason to pursue Oswalt or any of the other guys we were trying to get. That's not my only reasoning, I just don't feel up to debunking, but there's just nothing to go off of to substantiate that prediction.
-
If they're better than Lackey and Wakefield, they've already improved this team. The bar is set very low, but I'd still be disappointed with ERAs in excess of 5.
-
Just imagine how bad Bugs wouldve beat 'em if he played the whole game. Gas House Gorillas was it?
