  1. I think the J/K means just kidding. It is ok if you weren't though Notin. I'm ok with that. I'm actually getting attached to some of you strange ones with different points of view then mine. lol For the record - lest we forget - I am old school. Not too good with this new technical stuff.
  2. Hey hey hey - wait - Are you the one Slasher has been talking about? Are you our Red Sox insider? Tell JH to loosen up those purse strings.
  3. I never appreciated that ass hole but what do I know I am a lifelong Giants fan. How do you like that one?
  4. lol good one - unperked nips - Even Spud has to like this one!
  5. Ya - that was nice - I'm going to guess - just my opinion - he ain't the toughest hombre in town just yet. Got to give him a little more time.
  6. oh I still that there is a little more to it than that. Some of those guys had to make big time changes to even get on the field in New England. Talent obviously is one thing and a very important thing but it is safe to say that no matter how good you might have been or might think you are if you are a butt hole you probably won't last too long here. It is about how can you make us better and not about how good you think that you are.
  7. Oh I understand that so well. Too well me thinks.
  8. tut tut - don't go getting political on us! Good for the goose good for the gander and all that other crap
  9. The most natural power of anybody in baseball??? He is one of the biggest guys I guess and certainly has a lot of natural power but how are you going prove that one statistically speaking. Sounds like your opinion to me. I might agree with you but I might not. Seems like there is likely someone out there who is at least as strong if not stronger. I appreciate a loyal fan though but you of all people should know that if you can't quantify it it likely won't be believed.
  10. Now Notin - I'm not sure here but I might even agree with you although I have to add when all of those unloved guys you mentioned came to play for us I don't think that it was the laundry that had anything to do with their turn arounds. I think that that guy who decides who plays and how much in their case was the big factor. Not sure that Alex Cora is on his wave length just yet.
  11. I'm ok with my H = hedoesn'tgiveaf***whatyouandithink
  12. g = hdgafwyait!!!
  13. I'm with you all the way here Jack. Dombrowski has a job that is always open to criticism in this day and age regardless of what he says or does. As is pretty obvious from reading these various threads, he isn't going to be making everybody happy anytime soon. I truly believe that if we win a ring next year there will be people who will find a way to criticize something that he either did or did not do in their estimation. Hey - Ben Cherington ain't walking through that door again anytime soon folks. wink wink(just trying to add some humor - not trying to mess with the hornets nest)
  14. ain't that the truth!
  15. Most of us get this but making a move just to make a move would not be a good idea at all. If the Red Sox returned the exact same team as last year, possibly a little healthier, they would still be able to complete quite nicely in the east. Adding the right bat makes sense and I think that it will happen.
  16. That is a compliment and I am taking it. When you are as cranky and irascible as I can be, you got to run with them when you can.lol
  17. I'm kind of on board with this one too. I'm in for Martinez but I know that there are some other pretty good possibilities out there as well. I don't think resigning Moreland and taking a shot with Sam Travis is going to upgrade our offense much but they still aren't bad! I hope that we don't make a move just to make a move. I don't think we will. I do have a warm spot for Moreland.
  18. He might even have known exactly what he was saying. Maybe it was just his way of saying that it really wasn't important enough for us to know. It is possible that his hide is tough enough to actually not care what the public thinks. If the seats are filled, he is going to get paid. I don't think that he is as soft and caring as some people would like him to be. Maybe he should start wearing and old hooded sweatshirt. Kind of like that old school dude working up there in Foxboro. That guy who has trouble understanding how to operate an I-pad but just knows how to win games. Like him or not!
  19. We could do that. If you can clone your dog, anything should be possible. What's a GMP? General Medical Practitioner or something. I'm one of those old school guys who is stupid. I'm thinking though you might be on to something for futuristic fans with the cloning concept.
  20. Maybe we could even become more fan friendly. Kind of like the Voice. Fans could vote from their cell phones for who they think could be starting on a day to day basis. Come on it is 2017, anything and everything goes right. We all need to have a greater say in what is going on here. We are in the golden age of internet information and ain't it just freaking great! Come on Slasher - no withholding any information. What do you know that we don't? Who is it posting here that works in the organization? You know we will find out.
  21. I think that you nailed it. What I would add is that he probably doesn't give a crap about what people in the media know or don't know about what his plans are or maybe even what his team's plans are. I don't consider myself to be entitled to know what is going on the inside. I don't work for them. We are all curious but where does it say anywhere that he has to let every fan and every beat writer know every detail about what is and what isn't going on inside that clubhouse? Some people just have a need to know I guess. It is one of the reasons why I am a Belicek fan. DDs no liar - DDs not desperate. He gets it. He is doing his job and might not feel as though I'm entitled quite enough to be told every plan and every detail about his future plans. For the record, I might be on an island here too but why did I even care about who was going to be having any kind of surgery during the off season? It is fun to know but sometimes it just doesn't affect us.
  22. I agree - and also you have always been pretty easy for me to understand. Very clear - very direct. I like that. As luck would have, in most cases I agree with you too. lol
  23. so - anyone who is old school is dumb and risk averse? really.
  24. I think that you are safe. People getting a little uptight due to the lack of moves made. That is interesting. what I would say is when was the last move that DD telegraphed out to anybody? He doesn't seem to work that way. My bet is that something big will come our way. I sill think that it will be Martinez which very well might then lead to a trade of one of our outfielders. Maybe he winds up being the dh or maybe he doesn't. Personally, Martinez is on my wish list.
