  1. you'd hurt those soft fingers typing that much.
  2. I know just how you feel. It is and has been a way of life for us all. You are at a great school and you are close to home.
  3. lol
  4. you mean Pedroia?
  5. A great season- Houston is a better baseball team - got to give them credit.
  6. got to lift him - whew
  7. Ok - It is what you do - it's a little like the spinny wheel on my computer.
  8. What a game - take a seat Altuve
  9. This is really what you do isn't it. First of all, let me just say that I wasn't one who used the word massive amounts of anything when talking about the Red Sox play this year. Suggesting that I was comparing our team to the 62 Mets (no matter how much I loved them) based on anything that I have said in any post that I have made is just ridiculous but certainly indiciitive of the way you do things. I love this team but 'm not going to ignore the fact that they need to do a little better job when it comes to the basic fundamentals of the game.
  10. last pitch to Springer could have been sitting on a tee.
  11. Oh I know - and I agree with you but who knows what that knucklehead means when he does anything. I just like the fact that he has behaved.
  12. He has had s***** year - I agree but I got no f***ing idea what that throat slash means at all and I don't care as long as he hits the ball like he did yesterday. I still don't think he is on the field for us next year.
  13. Their approach is just a little like that old blind squirrel stuff we old dubs talk about. Just like that old blind squirrel finds that gd acorn now and then, you can still win by playing poorly and stupidly because the game is just so random. lol It does happen but we still opt for at least trying to play the game the right way. Maybe when I grow up I will get smarter. I'm just so close minded.
  14. I love Hanley's show of emotion with that slashing move as well, but I'm not quite willing to accept that I have any idea of what it means. I think that your interpretation of it would be the easy one to believe but once again, I don't know what is going on in that dugout. What I would say is that over the years I do think that he has changed. He doesn't have the same talents for sure that he had when he was younger, but I haven't seen or heard anything from him for quite some time as in a couple of years that leads me to think that he has anything but a pretty good team centered attitude. I think that he wants to win. We need him to see that ball and to hit the ball!
  15. If you don't believe that then you need to listen more closely to how they constantly pat themselves on their backs as they continue to condescend to us mere mortal no-nothings! lol
  16. I always liked him and hated seeing him go.
  17. Come on - where is the love for former Red Sox Reddick?
  18. It ain't over just yet folks! Let's go!!!
  19. Building any good team in any sport depends on balance in most situations. If Hanley Ramirez was the Hanley Ramirez of yesteryear, Sandoval had actually been able to play and help, Pedroia and Nunez had remained healthy, maybe that balance would have been there. Not really replacing the bat of Ortiz was a gamble that many of us felt wasn't worth taking. I would be quite surprised if the Hanley we are seeing right now is anywhere near this lineup next year. We are not out of it yet though and regardless I do think some of our guys have progressed and not all has been regression. I believe that quite a few of them have learned how to win by any means possible - short of cheating (lol). I have no quantifiable proof to back up my theory that thinking you can win can actually lead to you having the confidence that it takes to actually win.
  20. Summed it up pretty well!
