  1. Did you see that clip of Chipper Jones, Kimmi?
  2. Ryan Hanigan looks like a grown-up version of that big crazy-looking kid that everybody was scared of in school.
  3. Personally I think there's also some innate pessimism when you're a baseball fan, more than other major sports, simply because you lose so damn many times. Even the World Series champs rack up about 70 losses along the way. That's a lot of losing when you think about it.
  4. There were only 2 big mistakes I remember by Tito, both involving leaving starters in too long, one he got lucky on, one he didn't. 1) 2004 ALCS Game 5. Let Pedro pitch to Matsui with us losing 4-2 and 2 men on base and Pedro up over 100 pitches. Got lucky. 2) 2008 ALCS Game 2. Let Beckett come out for the 5th inning. Didn't get lucky.
  5. I thought Francona was very good too. But the amount of grief he took on forums like this for some of his in-game moves was substantial. To a lot of people he was 'Coma'.
  6. Here's a challenge - somebody name a manager they think is great, and then explain exactly why he's great.
  7. There's no real way to quantify it. Managers do make in-game decisions that can change the outcome, but you don't know if things would have been different if they had made a different move. Over the course of the season one of the manager's biggest tasks is utilizing his bullpen properly, especially the way the game is now. Then there is the true X factor - the clubhouse factor, the motivation of the players.
  8. David earned his million last night.
  9. He's awesome, but he might have to be even better than that to maintain order with the motley crew that's showing up here now.
  10. I think Hanley will bust out at the plate.
  11. What an awful start for the rotation. How many times has a starter given us 7 innings? Porcello did it once and I think that's it. He and Wright are the only 2 that have made it through 6 innings each start. Our bullpen will be hamburger if the situation doesn't improve.
  12. Some of the other BDC posters I hope make it over here: JoeBrady, Spaceman, notin, Flapjack.
  13. 'Sociopathic/psychopathic' cause a lot of confusion and misuse, but 'schizophrenic' is the most misused term of them all.
  14. For some reason it was a technical disaster-constantly screwing up-and the powers that be finally decided it wasn't worth their while to spend any more effort on it.
  15. Hey Kingface...this is Hfxsoxnut from that board. This place will be quite something if we get a big inflow from there.
  16. I've given up on Kelly as a starter now too. He makes Buch look like an innings eater.
  17. Win one, lose one. The march of mediocrity goes on.
  18. I'll give you an LOL for that one.
  19. You could do a lot worse. I believe I have a touch of one myself.
  20. Just realized the O's also tossed in Pedro Strop in that trade. Sheer larceny by Theo.
  21. Hell, he might be the staff ace.
  22. Yep, 11 million is the correct number. We don't pay our AAAlbatrosses chump change.
  23. Paps definitely took one of the exits off the Rivera Highway years ago.
  24. The head-scratching stuff with Farrell started early when he gave everyone the impression that JBJ was going to be platooning with Young. Then the weird stuff with the early pinch-hitting for Shaw. Hard to escape the feeling that the man is a little 'muddled' in his thinking.
