    I have used that 2003 argument myself, actually. But it was pointed out to me that our bullpen was actually great in the 2003 postseason. Grady just screwed up.

    But it's the life of a professional ballplayer to be uprooted. They get drafted. They get traded. Free agency is their one chance to have any control over their destiny.

    How can that be when the performances are meaningless?

    Drunken Irish Bastards is practically a compliment. Drunken Irish Bastard Poets would be even better.

    The chances of him signing an extension are still there, though it might not be at a much of a discount. Mookie is in great shape as you say, but there is still a risk of large financial loss at his end.

    I think it's less about the numbers in the spring games than about how he's throwing the ball-velocity, spin rate and all that. I think Thornburg and some others are genuinely trying to do well in these games and therefore there is meaning in them.

    Every player is concerned with money whether they have agents or not. David Robertson chose to go without an agent. I don't think it was because he wasn't concerned with money. Find me one professional athlete who is completely unconcerned with money. It's just a laughable notion.

    I think it's an overstatement to say they're meaningless. I suspect the team is doing some evaluation of the guys trying out for bullpen spots. Otherwise they would keep them all and let them all have tryouts in regular season games. Do you not think there's a chance Thornburg could be released before the real games start?

    Dave really decided to test this idea that if you throw enough stuff at the wall, something has to stick...
  10. Bellhorn04
    As far as the whole meaningful/meaningless thing goes... If all the guys we were hoping might make up for the loss of Kimbrel and Kelly look like s*** every time out, would that be meaningful or meaningless?
  11. Bellhorn04
    I don't know if anyone finds it derogatory, but I think Ellsbury probably has a point. Someone might find it offensive. To be perfectly fair and correct shouldn't we get rid of any team names that refer to a particular group of people in any way?
  12. Bellhorn04
    Some fans are still doing the Tomahawk Chop. Pretty hard to imagine anything much more offensive than that.
  13. Bellhorn04
    Welcome back!
  14. Bellhorn04
    Four sure.
  15. Bellhorn04
    I just re-read the series of posts and it seems to me it's pretty easy to have some confusion about the whole 'meaning' thing.
  16. Bellhorn04
    It's not meaningless as far as all the players are concerned. It's meaningless as far as the W-L record is concerned.
  17. Bellhorn04
    The only thing that matters much in these spring games is the guys trying out for bullpen spots. In that regard Thornburg has really had some brutal outings and I think he needs to turn it around if he hopes to stick.
  18. Bellhorn04
    Exactly. Cora is giving the starting pitchers even more rest than he normally would, because of our 'deep playoff run'.
  19. Bellhorn04
    I think the objective has to be to win the division. It's said that the playoffs are a crapshoot. But getting into the Wild Card game means you have to win a coin toss before you even get into the crapshoot. It cuts your chances in half.
  20. Bellhorn04
    I'm not suggesting for a moment that money isn't important to him. I think it's important to most players. Most players have agents. Most shouldn't even consider not having agents. I'm just saying we have no idea if he's totally opposed to an extension, what the Sox have ever offered or any of it. Bogaerts and Bradley haven't signed extensions yet either. Does that mean that all 3 of them are only about the money?
  21. Bellhorn04
    How do you know this? What offers have they made him that he's turned down? It seems like unfounded supposition and speculation to me.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Maybe they should use holograms or something to make it look like there are people in those seats behind home plate.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Of course, there is another dimension called height. The Monster is close but tall. Yankee Stadium right field fence is close and not tall, it's a real porch. Even Christian Vazquez can hit an opposite field home run into it.
  24. Bellhorn04
    They haven't ANNOUNCED THE CLOSER YET? What the hell kind of dysfunctional zoo is this anyway?
  25. Bellhorn04
    That was weird. But all in all I'd say it was an anomaly.
