    Why 'baffling' extension, sk?
  2. Bellhorn04
    My only prediction is that I will be drinking a lot of rum and Cherry Kool-Aid cocktails this year.

    The Red Sox don't seem to have any interest in Shields, dropping price or not.

    Telling Fred to chillax is like telling your wife to calm down, or trying to herd cats.

    The Cubs time may be here for real. The Sox brass is probably relieved we don't play the Cubs in interleague for awhile.
  6. Bellhorn04
    Yes, that and $155 million. I'm kidding about that. But the presence of Theo and Hoyer and Dempster and the idea of helping the Cubs break their 100 year + drought obviously appealed to Jon. This was a huge decision in his life and he treated it as such.

    "Prune Face and his cohorts" - sounds exactly like villains from Dick Tracy or Batman.

    The reported facts certainly indicate that Lester was willing to return to Boston. He told the Giants he had narrowed his choice to the Cubs and the Sox. Apparently the Giants had been preparing an offer that was equal to the Cubs offer or more.

    The Jays upgraded their offence, yes. The Yankees didn't, as far as I can see. Baltimore downgraded. Overall, it's a wash.

    Let's have a reality check on the ALE - it ain't what it used to be. Last year the other 4 teams in the ALE averaged 4.13 runs per game. League average was 4.18.

    That's because you don't like Porcello.

    Betting the over/under on soccer games sounds like self-inflicted torture to me.

    There's so much stuff that happens in baseball that completely defies logic. Look at Oakland last year. On July 31 they were 66-41. In August and September, after acquiring Lester and the two guys from the Cubs, they went 22-33. Unfathomable.

    Preseason prognostications always bring out the philosopher in me. What were the preseason odds on SF and KC last year? What were the odds on the Red Sox in 2013? I wish somebody would keep track of the preseason calls and compare them to the actual results. But nobody does it because it would make the whole concept of preseason picks look foolish. It would also be pretty tedious. Nobody knows s***, and your guess is as good as mine.

    Free agency changed everything, no doubt. And it was what the players wanted all along. Human nature doesn't change over time, IMO, just environment changes.

    Re: park factors. Here are some interesting career numbers for road games: Shields ERA 4.00 OPS .739 Miley ERA 3.31 OPS .704

    I don't think it's all about ego, though it's certainly a factor. There's also the fact that the player has other voices in his ear - his family, his agent, the Players Association etc. And if a guy does take a significantly below-market deal, there will be a few stories that he was an idiot for doing so.
  18. Bellhorn04
    I think Lester conducted himself like a stand-up guy all the way. He didn't say one negative thing about anybody.
  19. Bellhorn04
    It looks that way to me too. It was nice of Henry to pay him that last visit, but did he really expect Lester to take $20 million less to play for him?
  20. Bellhorn04
    Cherington made some comments later to the effect of being surprised and disappointed that Lester's agents hadn't come back to them with anything after the $70 million offer. It all seems a little disingenuous, especially when they would eventually offer him $135 million.
  21. Bellhorn04
    What I've read a few times now is that the Sox aren't interested in Shields because he's a fly ball pitcher. The Sox are keeping it on the ground this year.
  22. Bellhorn04
    You two need to take this to private message or something. You're subjecting everybody to it.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Game threads are fun if the Sox are winning comfortably. If they're losing you're just going to read stuff like 'WTF _____?' 'f*** you _____' '______ sucks' and 'Farrell is an idiot. Can we fire him now please?'
  24. Bellhorn04
    They had Cespedes, but only for one year before he hits free agency.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Yes, I always get a chuckle when people criticize Ortiz for not going the other way more against the shift. As if they know what it's like trying to hit major league fastballs and junk. I think the big fella does pretty good overall!
