    Not sure I follow what you are saying here.
  2. cp176
    That's a good way of looking at things.

    i think the post season format has changed so dramatically that this is crapshoot for sure. so many more games. mathewson koufax gibson hershiser ford/palmer

    That is the absolute truth. When these guys are stinking it up, they expect the criticism. That is part of being a passionate fan. The truth of the matter is that if they are any good they are harder on themselves than we can ever be. Saying you want the guy to get better doesn't mean you wanted him traded. There are certainly some f***ing dopes who post here but everybody should relax - we all love JBJ.

    I guess I just don't see it the same way regardless of the thread's name. Guess I 'll just speak for me. If he continues to hit, I would bet on him staying but if he doesn't they likely will listen to offers for him if there are any. I don't think the trade talk lights up to brightly for an outfielder who can't hit .200 regardless of how good he is defensively. I'm pretty sure that what I just said could get twisted around to say that I want him gone. That seems to be how it works here. That would be a joke. I don't care how much people rattle on about his talents, I'm just as big a fan of his as anybody else. I've been watching him just like you for a long time. I would love nothing more than to see that outfield together forever but it is a business. I hope he continues to improve at the plate. He is heading in the right direction.

    I think that it is a clear majority SS of people here are pulling for JBJ big time. We all get how valuable a defensive player he is. That is obvious to anybody who knows anything. Saying that you want him to hit better is not suggesting that you want him gone. It is good to start to see him hit. He needs to not just for himself but for his team as well.

    ??? What did I miss? Who's taking shots at him?
  9. cp176
    Come on JBJ - here is hoping that he has in fact been listening and paying attention to the advice that he has been given otherwise known as coaching. If he hits just a little, what's not to love about that outfield. Having gold glover Martinez to back them up doesn't hurt!

    I hate the rules changes around the second base bag
  11. cp176
    yup plus Happ's lazy ass play on ball in front of the plate.
  12. cp176
    earned in one way - boys in the dugout caught it! tremendous
  13. cp176
    tough tough team - starts right there in the dugout
  14. cp176
    10 years right now!!!
  15. cp176
    what a show!!!!!

    My guess - Our current GM knew exactly who the best fit for this team would be in JD Martinez. DD I think is that good plus he is an old horse trader.

    Clearly Max is your primary supporter here Moon. We all need support. I'm just kidding I kind of like reading what both of you post. I don't always agree but that is a good thing and neither of you is particularly stubborn. I like that. Admitting that you are wrong now and then or even suggesting that you might not always be right is an attribute. I'm wrong a lot so no problem for me. lol Plus the fact that I love communicating with people who actually lived through the times that I have.
  18. cp176
    good guess right! I was 11 in in '62 - my best year of little league!
  19. cp176
    I love this historical perspective. My grandfather was able to experience the earliest championships but obviously never saw another one. Like so many others, he loved that team and listened to every game of every season. My passion for the game came from him.
  20. cp176
    What were you 10 then you young old coot?
  21. cp176
    I loved that team as well. I'm still convinced that Doug Griffin would have had a great career as our second baseman had he not been beaned. I also think that Siebert and Culp were better than that. Once again that pitching staff looked pretty good on the proverbial paper.

    That will be a spring, summer, and fall that I will never forget. All that ******** I just said about not being able to compare athletes and stuff today with yesterday forget some of that! - Captain Carl had quite possibly the greatest individual season that I have ever witnessed. "Th man we call Yaz!"- I bet you have the "Impossible dream" album. I had that as well as the "Havlicek Stole the Ball" - all lost in the shuffle of becoming a f***ing adult I say sadly although liife has been good.

    ditto for 1978 - Let's see - how many were we up on the the fourth of July?
  24. cp176
    Of course it is sufficient. I don't see too many people here being hung up on it. At the same time remembering these greats and sharing things that we actually experienced is a fun activity. I've got great memories from the early 60's to the present and some here got me beat. I like the sharing.
  25. cp176
    You are right. Trying to compare teams and athletes from different eras is impossible to do really. I believe that it is a generational type of thing. Some of us have had a real opportunity to see so many great great players from multiple decades. We all have our personal opinions about how the best would fare today. One of the things that I have noticed is that when people talk about the impact Chris Sale has made on this team, they quite often make mention of Pedro's greatness which of course was legit. What I say with all due respect to the people who shudder at the thought of anyone using steroids, when Roger appeared on the scene for this franchise, it was like something we had never seen before. A literally dominating, big bodied type of kid. Every time he took the mound in his early days for sure, you just had the feeling that a no no was right around the corner. I would never say that he was the best but in his prime he was as good as anyone that I have been in a Red Sox uniform. Maybe the numbers don't support that opinion but he changed the landscape for the Sox.
