  1. So not only are you insufferable, apparently you can't comprehend what you read either. Good job.
  2. ^Case in point. Absolutely insufferable.
  3. You're the one who sells yourself that way. We all know there's room for improvement. What i don't understand is how you coaching a long time makes you superior to everyone else here at figuring this sort of thing out. In the end, all we can do is wait and see what happens. We can share ideas, and thoughts, but insulting everyone who has a positive outlook for 2012 is a load of s*** and you know it.
  4. Fred, you are asking for MVP not to question your loyalty while you question his by "comparing it to yours". That's hypocritical. Not trying to push your buttons here, but letting you know that if you get a strong response from MVP, you had it coming.
  5. Food for thought: Over the last few years, the Red Sox have sustained a payroll that is roughly 80% of the Yankees payroll while reportedly perceiving around half the revenue. The 10 million wouldn't affect their bottom line, but the short-sighted part of this argument, is that most of the impact from the LT abuse will not be felt now, but later on. That is, of course, assuming they're still under the lux tax. If they're over it, then this is just retarded.
  6. Delicious irony.
  7. No it's not. Unless he absolutely bombs in ST, the #4 spot is his. What happened to "being able to read between the lines?" does that only apply when it helps your argument?
  8. CJ Wilson, Alexis Ogando. How did those work out? We can play the "everything will go wrong" game all you want. Fact is, he will be the #4 starter.
  9. The problem is that he's taking his own conjecture as fact. This is not meant to insult you btw Fred, but it's the truth. Even while trying to get rid of Tek and Wake they need to do it as gently as possible because of the PR hit it would entail.
  10. Must've skipped the class where they taught "reading comprehension".
  11. And whining on a daily basis is going to fix these perceived problems? Also, the Red Sox do have a #4 starter. His name is Daniel Bard. What exactly do you want for the BP? They have a battalion of dregs assembled. Some of them have to pan out. Also, we do have a SS, his name is Mike Aviles. He may not be the optimal SS, but neither was Scutaro.
  12. And what Pirates fans think matters because?
  13. The thread just establishes that he couldn't realistically be cut, but SoxSport uses SoxSport logic and says he could indeed be cut. Well done.
  14. I disagree with this, on principle. The luxury tax had never mattered to the Red Sox before, but the new CBA is much more severe on those who stay above the luxury tax. The Red Sox are not the only team you'll see scrambling to get under the tax in the next couple of years. In essence, staying above the cap would hamstring the Red Sox from spending more money on future FA's. I understand that, as fans, we could care less about their bottom line and think they should just spend money, but that's not how it works.
  15. And the award to excellence in posting goes to......
  16. The last time Crawford had wrist issues, 2010 and his career year happened.
  17. He ran away because all of the ******** y'all are starting here.
  18. Jesus Christ.
  19. That's why people use the league in most arguments. The NL, with weaker offenses and more spacious ballparks in general, always has several teams near the top of the BP chain, specially and the NL West, and it is inconsequential to the discussion. The Sox BP was one of the best in the AL last year, which is a stronger league than the NL, and the point can't be contended. Also, if Aceves returns to the BP (likely) and the rotation gives them more innings (you mentioned Lackey but forgot the rest of the 5-innings and less crew conveniently) the BP has a chance for an overall similar performance, at least.
