Made up statistics are the best statistics!

Do you have some sort of chemical imbalance bro? Do you even see what you're saying up there? GTFO.

"Faith" and "Blind faith" are different things. If you'd take Papelbon over Kimbrel, Chapman or Davis, then it's blind faith we're talking about.

On that, we can agree.

Isn't Farrell kinda sorta married with three kids though?

*If he actually hit his wife. You can't have "no doubt" he hit her, since you were there. I've seen a lot of women make up stories, exxagerate stories, and even harm themselves to get back at their spouse for s***** behavior. I'm not victim blaming here, but you need to have all the facts before you condemn someone.

Jenry Mejia says there' s a "conspiracy" to keep him out of MLB. The Dominican education system at work people.

When isn't he gross? He went to school with the specific purpose of being gross and seeing gross stuff.

Srsly?

It falls into the umbrella of unlawful discharge in Florida,it's a first degree misdemeanor but that's not necessarily punished with jail time. Let me note that in Chapman's case, similar to Julio Lugo's case, it's possible (and plausible) that his spouse did not specifically tell prosecutors he hit her, but rather threatened (still a serious offense) during an altercation. I just don't get the need to discharge a firearm in an occupied area. That's f***ing terrifying.

Absolutely not, you have terrible reading comprehension. The only thing I'm saying is that they're not only different situations, but one organization used a domestic violence issue to acquire a player with a checkered history for a discounted price when said player shot a handgun near his spouse and in an inhabited area. You are trying to compare that to a guy who spent four years after his alleged problem, and whose issue had no smoking gun (pun intended). We can't be sure he hit his wife, and you're right this stuff does not come out of nowhere, but considering the history of both organizations with wife-beaters with their current FO's, (Knoblauch is just one example) glass houses and all that.

The controversy will die down if he hits and fields his position. Simple as that.

Funny you say that: 1) Lugo got acquitted of all charges in 2003, a full four years before the Sox signed him. Unlike Chapman and Brett Myers, there was no concrete evidence against him, since in Texas you can and will be prosecuted on hearsay for charges of domestic violence. His ex-wife said (and it was proven) that she told the prosecution from the get-go, that she had willingly and specifically provoked him on more than one occasion because he was threatening her with divorce, but that he never actually hit her. Now, this is in no way, shape or form a defense of Lugo if he did hit his wife, in which case I hope he gets sent to jail and becomes Bubba's wife, but three simple points: A) No tangible evidence. B ) No repeat offenses. C) Signed several years later as his conduct sheet came out clean, instead of knowingly trying to use his checkered past to obtain him at a discount rate via trade, a la Yankees with Chapman. 2) The Red Sox (Wil Cordero), along with the Astros in the Lugo case, are the only teams to proactively punish a wife beater. The Yankees did not do it with Knoblauch, the Twins did not do it with Puckett, the Rockies did not do it with Bichette, and no team did it with Milton Bradley. You're barking up the wrong tree here. Seriously, stick to doctoring.

The only person who can be blamed if Sandoval has a failure of a year is Sandoval.

Dat Koji.

I'm just messing around. He'll be fine I think (hope).

Pandas are not known for their ability to bend over. Pandas are known for being fat, being lazy, eating a lot and being cute. They share only three of those traits with Sandoval.

I mean if you went to the trouble of stripping down and having someone else take that picture of you, who in this site has the right to tell you to take it off? Srsly though, stop hanging with Pablo.

Just enough to not get them the extra year.

Because it requires sacrifice, and if Pablo does have an eating disorder, that sacrifice is three times as hard, especially if you suffer from social anxiety issues regarding your weight. Speaking from experience here.

MVP, get your ass in the league plz.

Probably anything around 7 PM.

April 2nd is a no-go for me, especially at noon.

I will go to war for a player who puts in the work. JD Drew was fragile, but he tried anything under the sun to help keep his body healthy, including some stuff that sounded downright wacky. Hanley has changed position twice, and lost the amount of weight they asked him to lose. There's just no excuse for Pablo. I guess I take it harder because I was once at least as fat as he was by the end of last year, but I sure as hell ain't that fat now, and I don't need to lose weight for my job, and I don't have millions of dollars. I also know firsthand what that excess weight does to your lower body regardless of how strong your legs are. He's literally eating himself out of the league, and he looks like he does not give a f***.

The Latin American media is not the Boston media. And most of the questions about his offseason regime revolved around the fact that there was the possibility that he played in Venezuela's WL, but the Sox killed that possibility early like they did with Hanley. Also, there is clearly a way to handle the media without sounding like an *******. As much hate as guys like Manny used to get, he sure was (and is) charming when dealing with hometown media.
