  1. I just heard that the Globe forums are being shut down at the end of May, so there might be a little influx here.
  2. The dream team is off to a dream start.
  3. Lackey has pitched great since the start of 2013. His Tommy John surgery was obviously a fantastic success. He really proved himself. I still don't know why this was a necessary move. It does seem there were some other issues involved. Kelly and Craig were not a solid get by any stretch of the imagination. Craig cost us $30 million plus, and he and Kelly both had major red flags.
  4. I hate to say it, but as a manager Farrell just seems to be a loser. Can't take away a championship season from him, but he's finished last in his other 4 seasons. And he keeps doing things and saying things that don't make much sense.
  5. Sadly, you are wrong. We are paying Craig 9 million this year and 11 million next year, plus a 1 million buyout on the 2018 option.
  6. I'm sure he wasn't thrilled about it, but what evidence is there that Lackey wouldn't have honored the contract with Boston the same way he did for St. Louis? What did he actually say?
  7. I agree - it's all speculation - not unfounded or unreasonable speculation, but there's no hard evidence. All we know is that they jettisoned him and got crap in return.
  8. Welcome to Boston, Dave.
  9. You should bring a sign next game so we can see you. Maybe the sign could say 'Remdawg and Talksox Rock!'
  10. If they had looked after Lester maybe Lackey would have been more agreeable to everything. The Lester joke offer may have contributed to losing both of them. That's quite a bungle. They offered Lester less than they ended up paying for Rusney. That was one of the craziest lowball offers made by any baseball team in a long time.
  11. Man, Archer is off to a rough start this year. What a funny game it is.
  12. If the team keeps floundering they won't wait till the end of May. They are not in a patient mode, that has already been demonstrated.
  13. Trading Lackey for Kelly and Craig was a swell idea. The really ironic part is that the money they're paying Craig for nothing would have covered Lackey's salary for 3 seasons, 2015-2017. Oh well, Theo Epstein says thanks to his old pals.
  14. I got to see him when I was a kid. '65 World Series was the first I saw.
  15. Ross is your basic Jekyll-and-Hyde type.
  16. Let's go O. Might need a barrel of runs tonight.
  17. Who needs Lackey when you can get Kelly and Craig for him?
  18. Sorry man, I thought it was a joke on your part. You're correct though, I am a little touchy lately, and I apologize. Part of it is I'm getting too old for this personal tax season crap.
  19. VMart wasn't traded.
  20. Ah yes, 'doubling down' with a non-factual complaint.
  21. Lester and Lackey. Grrrr. That is all.
  22. Station, you make some pretty good observations.
  23. Considering that Farrell was pinch-hitting for Shaw against lefties in earlier games...old Johnny is full of surprises!
