    No way but more importantly I wasn't the one getting thrown. There were a few things that happened a few years ago that I wish I could forget but they do kind of make me smile today.

    lol - I rarely went into bars where a conversation like this could possibly have happened. I was in one that opened at midnight - it was called "Between the Sheets" - cool name. It was not a lot of fun but I was not the guy who got thrown through the window anyway. lol again

    Wait - Washington on weed? President number1?

    Do you know secrets Slasher? lol

    I hope that Swihart starts to see a little more playing time if for no other reason then to justify the roster spot. He has talent the question is how and where to use it I guess. I like having a gloveman like Lin around just to help us defensively. If he keeps playing and hitting, it is going to be tough to send him back.

    I have - one - for me that was more than enough.

    I have a very talented golfing friend up here who played golf with Chuck Bednarik many years ago. He said that he was a pretty good player but had a hard time gripping the club normally because none of his fingers were straight. Imagine that - with that guy not hard to believe!

    I didn't state it clearly but that is what I meant. In many ways, this is a team that I am enjoying much more than last years version in spite of last years 93 wins.

    God they had some great teams with Starr though.

    jad - What happened to me I wonder? My mother stuck me in front of that 1958 game and I've been a Giants fan since then. I did adopt the Pats a few years ago though. lol I'm a Mainer and like you said the - Giants really were the only game in town up here.

    That incident made me laugh because all I could think of was Machado's slide and Pdroaia's reaction to it. i don't think that we will see another Pedroia "It wasn't me" situation again. He can help us defensively I think but I just want him to be quiet.

    Kelly just isn't the kind of guy you screw with in the bar.

    I think that is a great thing for this group going forward. There are certainly some guys that you listed here who are anxious to get back for sure and when they are healthy they make a difference. In the meantime the others are proving that there is something to this concept of depth. You and i understand that there is something to this idea of teams learning to win. Good things come from role players understanding what it takes and just getting the job done.

    I do not think that Harmony has been respectful regarding his opinions. It is good when everyone plays nice here but sometimes stuff happens. You are certainly entitled to your opinion as am I. I'm sure that you value mine just about as much as I value yours when it comes to these types of situations.

    No s***! Your best friend's father was Ray Wietecha?

    Divers slide and pop into second - note the difference between that one and f***wad Austins.
  17. cp176
    you called this one quite awhile ago! we knew he could field them we just didn't know if he could hit them! great to see.
  18. cp176
    Pretty sure you might be talking about me here. Condescending is not something I intentionally try to do but when I am repeatedly challenged with respect to one of the few things I consider myself knowledgeable about, it is likely that I'm not backing down from someone like him.
  19. cp176
    100%
  20. cp176
    I'm pretty sure that you posted this because of my comment about someone who interpreted that slide like he did perhaps has never played or taught the game. Yup, I will stand behind that in this instance. I think that there are things about the game of baseball that Harmony does not get because of a lack of fundamental knowledge of the game. I probably should have added teaching the game also. Harmony is wrong not simply because I disagree with him but let me see - how about just about everyone else. If you are really trying to say that I am one of those rare rogues who believes that to understand anything that it helps to have experienced it you are right - guilty as charged.

    Simply put, maybe the expression troll doesn't describe him. Possibly anything Spud might say abut him is more appropriate I think after following this thread. In life, I try not to say a great deal about the things I really don't know anything about. There are plenty of things that I am sure he knows a great deal about.
  22. cp176
    I don't even consider it a stat. That is just me though. Personally, the only thing that I focus in on is who gets the job done and how it gets done. Walden did a good job yesterday.

    For sure - I was going to post as well - not now. The gamesmanship is ridiculous. There has to be a certain fascination provided by a forum for some of these non-Red Sox fans to spend so much time commenting on it. This guy might be a wonderful reader and compiler of data but he does not know much about the playing of the game unless he googles it first. I can deal with someone disagreeing if they actually know the game.
  24. cp176
    I liked them before the season started - I love them now. They have a different identity and it has been good for all of us including Pedroia to watch. He for sure will add to the team when he gets back but this is a good team with or without him. Sometimes it is good for these guys to see that they are not indespensible.
  25. cp176
    And this is it in a nutshell. This is an instance that I would tell anyone who doesn't see it this way - they probably never played the game.
