  1. Buerhle's already marginal stuff is rapidly deteroating. Imagine him pitching half his games at Fenway. The idea that he should have been brought to the Red sox was bad, and those who had it should feel bad. iortiz spent the whole off-season repeating over and over how "Buerhle is solid pitcher". Don't look so solid to me.
  2. Jarrod Strikeoutlamacchia
  3. Karma finally doing its job?
  4. The early backpedaling is both hilarious and sad.
  5. How does "red numbers in the bl" even mean anyway? They were making money hand over fist, and made the playoffs in 2009. Baseball o.erations doesn't account for tv revenues, and as SoxSport would say: "That's where the money's at". Also, his "Theo is untouchable" comment borders on the ridiculous. Make sense please.

  7. Tell that to MANNYHOF24 who predicted 94 wins and an AL East crown.
  8. This. Just add Bard's desire to start and you've got the concoction that lead to his tour in the rotation.
  9. Obviously correct, even though when given the choice Bard clearly and unequivocally lobbied to start. The talksox special: Let's ignore the facts.
  10. "Bard would have been fine either starting or closing" but when given a chance, lobbied for starting until they gave him a chance. "FO's hands were not tied behind their backs when making the Bard decision" but it filled a need and he was lobbying for it. "It ended up being a mistake" yes, but hindsight is 20/20. Those are pretty much the main points to the Bard argument.
  11. Trading for Stanton makes little sense from an organizational standpoint. I don't get the propensity for wet dreams for a guy that would take the farm to get and doesn't even address a need.
  12. Clearly against published report from reputable sources. I'll take their word for it. The reason they went the starter route is because they (like many in the industry) believed Bard lacked the mental makeup to close. You're not better than the Red Sox at evaluating these type of issues, and neither is any poster on a Red Sox website. Don't pretend that you are.
  13. Which is why the caveat "if healthy" is there. Don't kid yourself, the Angels (led by Pujols and Hamilton) will hit.
  14. Saving it for when it's needed.
  15. Miguel Cabrera just hit a 3-0 count 3-run homer. You don't see many homers on that count per season.
  16. Then you better be able to grow a nice beard.
  17. He has, however, lost some hair and grown a badass beard, both marks of a true man.
  18. I have no selective memory. No one on this board has you on ignore. For the record, i talk to several people from the site through other means and matters like this are talked about out-of-site or through PM specifically to avoid cluttering the board with discussions like this. Read YOTN's post above, and you'll see that i'm not pulling this out of my ass. No one here is messing with you anymore, but you're calling them out. That only lends itself to create shitstorms.
  19. This very much overcomplicates the point. The point: Baseball is a game of streaks, they are currently riding a bad streak. Those two very talented players, if healthy, will hit, and they will hit close to their last-three-years average.
  20. Hey, we can put our differences aside for the greater good, just like they did when they high-fived while playing for Team USA.
  21. I don't think you've noticed, but i've been a pretty good citizen for a while now.
  22. I give up. When you can argue what's actually being written hit me back brah. What's laughable is poor reading comprehension skills.
  23. Maybe you could stop fueling the fire with the "malcontents" and since you have them on ignore you could truly ignore them instead of making inflammatory comments Fred?
