    Nava with 2 hits, 2 RBI and a spectacular game-saving catch. I still like this guy.

    LOL Triple L 'Lyin' Larry Lucchino'
  3. Bellhorn04
    It is plausible, but it might be nothing.

    Gasparino says one of the things that convinced him the story was solid was the trade with the Dodgers, that whenever a team unloads that much payroll it's a sign of financial trouble. He thereby excludes the possibility that it was merely a smart baseball and financial move that should be instrumental in rebuilding the team.
  5. Bellhorn04
    Fair enough, but I don't think this Charlie Gasparino guy who broke the story would know much about it either.
  6. Bellhorn04
    That doesn't really answer it. I doubt the Red Sox lost very much money this year, and they just offloaded a ton of payroll. I think they're only committed to about 50 million of payroll for 2013 right now. I can't see how Henry would be in financial trouble with the Sox. If Henry was interested in selling I think it would be because it ain't fun anymore and it's a good time to cash in. Not because of financial trouble.

    Henry said on the M & M show it's complete horseshit...'we love this, we're in it for the long haul, I've already got more money than I'll ever need, we just signed some agreements that would prove all this if you saw them' etc. etc.

    The team's a mess, but if this ownership sells it and NESN they could get 1.5 billion. They bought the team for 700 million. Nice capital gain.
  9. Bellhorn04
    Kind of strange that Luccino went on record to deny this already.

    Bud Selig is the master of gimmickry. Interleague games-check. All-Star game decides World Series home field-check. Wild card one-game playoffs-check.
  11. Bellhorn04
    And how would you describe throwing Zach Stewart out there again?
  12. Bellhorn04
    Even if the Sox are out of it, baseball is still a hell of a lot better than no baseball.
  13. Bellhorn04
    It would be weird if the Phillies make the playoffs after having a semi-fire sale. That would be a first, I believe. Anything can happen now in Bud Selig's Fun House.

    Watching Cook pitch is like watching Wakefield pitch. Both one-trick ponies, only difference is Cook's trick is the sinker. If he's got the sinker working just right he can do the job. If he doesn't it's bombs away. So you're holding your breath the whole time.

    That's nice, for their fans, but for me it highlights what I don't like about this new Wild Card. A team that's at .500 on Sept. 12 should be cooked. It's a smart business move by Selig to create more interest for more fans, but it's also a gimmick that over the years will result in some teams just a few games over .500 making the postseason with a chance to win it all.

    Funny how things look different from the outside. I thought Girardi was doing a pretty good job because the Yankees have had so many injuries.
  17. Bellhorn04
    'Zend Optimizer', right? Same thing happened to me.
  18. Bellhorn04
    Man, both this forum and the Boston Globe one have been whacked lately. These message boards seem to be a rare example of regressing technology.
  19. Bellhorn04
    True, but Duquette didn't make huge changes to the roster either. And Showalter will probably be Manager of the Year.
  20. Bellhorn04
    By the same token, most of this year's Orioles team was inherited by Duquette. He's made good moves obviously, but his situation is similar to what Epstein's was coming into 2003.
  21. Bellhorn04
    There's no denying that Duquette put a lot of the big pieces in place for the championships. But let's not get carried away here. In his last 3 years as GM Duquette had one of the biggest payrolls in baseball and the team missed the playoffs those years. Duquette's Red Sox won one playoff series in his 8 years. And he was acting like a nutcase toward the end of his tenure.
  22. Bellhorn04
    You're right. The Twins should be ashamed of themselves for having a worse record than us. They were pretty good until last year.
  23. Bellhorn04
    I think part of the reason there is less posting going on is that there is precious little to talk about when the team is so bad and so decimated and there are no moves that can be made until the season is over. That applies whether you're an optimist or a pessimist. It's the same thing on the Boston Globe forum. The game threads have all but vanished. Things should pick up again when the season is over and the offseason gets going.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Sandberg might be a good pick.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Umpires f*** up calls all the time. Instant replay would have fixed that one.
