  1. Those options are not much better than 'Heads I win, tails you lose.'
  2. The Porcello extension is the deadest horse of all. There's nothing more that can possibly be said.
  3. I'm also now thinking that despite what they said publicly, the Sox brass was furious with Pablo for showing up like that.
  4. But it in the opinion of others, you haven't given a good reason as to the harm in giving Shaw and Holt a chance to start the season.
  5. Some numbers on Castillo's offensive slump: Last 32 games (30 starts) in 2015: 185/222/235 This spring 57 AB's: 175/242/193 (1 extra-base hit) It's worth noting he has the 3rd most AB's of any player this spring. They wanted him to show something on offense and he showed them nothing.
  6. There is also a risk, of course, that Pablo and Castillo stinking up the joint like they have been for 1-2 months would cost a few precious games in the standings. And Farrell is concerned about his job status - with good reason. A bad start and he might be fired in 1-2 months or less, and he knows it. You can't fault him for a sense of great urgency.
  7. We have two cats...actually we may just have one now. The older one wandered off the other day and hasn't returned. She was 15 and not in the best of health.
  8. Sorry, never heard of Canadian Ace.
  9. This is the kind of creative thinking I'm talking about.
  10. LOL no, I'm not hipster-ish and I don't wear a scarf.
  11. I'm not a fussy drinker at all. I even like Pabst Blue Ribbon.
  12. Absolutely. I'm very fond of Budweiser.
  13. Damn. There should be some sort of exemption when it's merchandise featuring a player who represents a financial albatross.
  14. Time to recoup some of Panda's contract with creative marketing ideas. Develop some fun new products that focus on the lighter side of Panda's corpulence. Starting with beach balls that are designed to look exactly like his belly as captured in that now-classic photo from the start of spring training.
  15. I'm not disputing your point about the cost-controlled players. But we can't ignore the potential contract albatrosses that Ben left the team with. The bottom line for 2016 is that we have a mammoth payroll and a team that projects for 84 wins or so.
  16. I'll have the beers you were going to buy for all the non-beer drinkers.
  17. Do you think the final offer of 135 million to Lester and the personal visit by Henry were just for show? (I'm not sure what to think about it.)
  18. In all fairness, I think it was 700hitter who initiated the whole 'clogging' thing. And I'm glad to know I wasn't the only one who started seeing shoes.
  19. I've been reading a lot of novels lately and some very long ones too. But when it comes to editorial commentaries on things like baseball, economy is one of the principles of good writing.
  20. Not yet, but I will.
  21. As far as the jungster's long posts are concerned, my take is this: a) it's all just words on my computer screen; anything longer than 2 short paragraphs and I'm scrollin' right past it.
  22. Henry gave the go ahead for Price and Kimbrel because he was willing to have the highest payroll in team history and pay a fairly large chunk of luxury tax.
  23. I'm not suggesting that Henry is meddling. I'm suggesting that he and Dombrowski are on the same page about making moves like benching Panda and Castillo.
  24. We'll have to agree to disagree on this one.
  25. Those thank yous to Ben will have to wait about 6 months.
