Nor is wasting my time on a forum full of 12 year old kids. Or worse, wasting my time on a forum where adults act like 13 year old kids. I'll move on to a forum where there are a few more signs of intelligence. Enjoy whacking off to "Moneyball" everyone. I'm out.....

Is your sole purpose for being here to be annoying? You're walking on thin ice. (My stock answer from now on when I don't agree with post that concerns me.)

Are you kidding me? That was a ball and Pap was lucky that S.Rod swung at it. That's all, no bog deal. Of all the negative crap that's posted here every minute of every day you think that comment is annoying? How many people said Cameron, Crawford, and several others were absolutely worthless today? All I said, or implied for those that didn't catch my meaning, was that Pap was lucky. Emmz, find someone else to latch onto and annoy.

Is that a baseball stat? Rodruigez swung at ball four and missed by as far as anyone did all night. Does no one appreciate the good fortune of not having the bases loaded in the bottom of the 9th with Damon coming up next?

Why would you ask this?

Lucky lucky lucky

Sox are getting all the calls.

Rays 1-4 guys are 0-11

That called strike on Joyce was a foot over his belt.

Essentially the same OPS. Relax.

Is Joyce a Sox fan? Two blown plays at the wall in two games.

Intentionally. Sounded like it hit his arm guard though.

Lowrie was in pain

I knew he'd get drilled....

Guess the wind made that catch difficult for Fuld.

Selig said recently that he could see the DH being removed from the AL relatively soon. Of course, Selig would probably be gone before it happened. There would need to be a fair amount of notice or else several AL teams would be stuck with some grossly overpaid pinch hitters. (A-Rod during the last few years of his deal). Removing it would keep salaries, length of contracts, and ticket prices in check but many AL fans wouldn't show up to see NL style ball. I say remove the DH if for no other reason than to keep the game more athletic. I'd love to see fewer teams but I don't think it will happen. The Marlins have a new stadium so they won't be contracted. The Rangers, as mentioned previously, are in metro Dallas already. The Rays just need to move 30 minutes north to Tampa to solve their attendance problem. Pittsburgh is a great sports town, the problem is the Pirates front office. New York/New Jersey/Hartford/Boston could NEVER convert their current fans over to a new team.

Beckett's never thrown a 2-hitter or better? Wow

Should have been ball 4 to Joyce

Holy crap, Pedroia CAN leg out a triple!

Think Youk will be drilled tonight or tomorrow by Price?

Irritating why, because I defend myself? I know everything that I proclaim to know. The straw man accusation means nothing to me because everyone here does it every day. That's evident by the large number of times you accuse people of it. I'd call people out on it too but as I stated a few days ago, I learned a long time ago that it is a sign of debating weakness. Squirt-guns are fun when you're a kid too....but then you grow up. Lastly, not a single person here has proven me wrong of anything. What I know that a few of you don't is the difference between a fact, an opinion, and a wish. Valid points are made but not many by those bashing me. A few people have backed me up with some "advanced" stats but of course that goes un-noticed. The only thing I'll confess to is never, ever having heard of that stupid blog. It's not exactly a feather I'd want in my cap anyway.

I'm sure they've seen personal attacks on new members before and will give you a pass. All I talk about on here is baseball. That fact seems to be lost on a few people.

Request denied and I have yet feel picked on in any way. I'll hold my knowledge for baseball, passion for the Red Sox, and time invested in each against anyone on this board. Here are the key points that I've been blasted on so far: 1. I believe a player who has excelled in the top of his lineup for 9 consecutive years can help his new team from there this year as well. 2. I don't find Dustin Pedroia's cocky attitude to be likable nor sportsman-like. 3. I believe that matching Phil Rizzutto's minimal offensive stats will never get another MLB player into the Hall of Fame again. 4. I think Bonds, Clemens, and A-Rod's stats will be dominating enough for their PED issues to be dismissed by HOF voters. I do not extend this to players with significantly fewer lifetime numbers. 5. I love sarcasm. 6. I couldn't give a flying f*ck about Dougie or his ability to go deep. 7. I don't run and hide when someone mentions an obscure sabermetric stat. 8. I love runs, total bases, speed, and defense. I might be forgetting a few but that's the basic source for everyone getting their collective panties in a bunch. If those kinds of statements on an online forum infuriate you then the internet just might not be for you.
