  1. Hump - What hump? Mel Brooks fan here as well. Thank you for serving this country!
  2. I saw it the same way that you did. I wish now that I had done just a little research on this guy.
  3. yup
  4. Yup - If a solid number 2 had been signed (as many of us have clamored for) then buchholz's Jekyl and Hyde crap would be much more tolerable. Put him in the 4/5 slot and take what you get.
  5. I would have a much easier time with Buchholz if we did not expect and need close to top of the rotation performances out of him. Probably from time to time we might well still see him throw a gem but is it worth the wait? I have seen him long enough personally and certainly wish that he was somewhere else. Sadly, Kelly seems to be following in his footsteps.
  6. Normally I think that I would know what you mean by using the word bleeping but the creative energy of the talksox posters is limitless so I am not 100% sure I know what you are saying. lol
  7. This has created a very bad image for me since posted. My chronic OCD just keeps doing a replay.
  8. it's old geezer talk for "f***ing peckerhead".
  9. So rest, anti-inflamatories, ice, physical therapy? How long would you guesstimate it might take for the inflammation to work its way out of there? Trying to get a little free advice here as well.
  10. I have 0 faith in both Buchholz and Kelly as starting pitchers for this team. The question I have dealt with is how much time is a long enough time for each to prove what they are capable of doing. They have both had plenty of time. I would find it much more exciting and entertaining as a fan to go in a different direction whether it is youth or not as opposed to simply sitting and hoping for different results everytime these two jamokes get handed the ball. Give me a reason to watch and have some future hope if we are going to be a .500 team.
  11. Deliverance!!! Did i win?
  12. Owens and Johnson mid to back of rotation guys possibly. really nothing special. Historically they continue to do kind of a s***** job developing their own pitching. Some lower level prospects could be good.
  13. How about just a poster of Captain Hook himself in the dugout? Softer thought.
  14. owooga - where does this stuff cum from? oh man Altuve!
  15. if Ortiz is talked out of retirement, does he have to give all of his cool gifts back?
  16. I would hope for someone better. Based upon what I see daily, contemporary would not be a prerequisite. Let me get this straight though, are you suggesting that head to head day in day out, you think Farrell is a better baseball manager than Leyland?
  17. thanks for posting
  18. His talent is/was undeniable. I just don't think the fact that he was due to make the league minimum made him as attractive as a target as it probably should have. My guess is that there was no way that he was going to pitch for the league minimum. Everybody else knew it to. Just my guess here, but I think that that alone played a role in how hard anybody was going to go after him. I really would be curious to know what else was out there for us to get.
  19. I don't think that it is just yet. Fan chatter pretty much i think. if the talent is there, they probably will win whether he is running the show or not. Maybe the overall talent will ultimately lay over the field. If all things among teams are equal, I don't like our chance much. that is when a manager can actually make a difference.
  20. My speculation is this what the Sox got for Lackey is pretty much the best deal they could have gotten. Don't get me wrong, he can pitch, but he hated being here and it appeared that he was going to be a bigger horses ass than normal if the Sox tried to to keep him here. Cut their losses for sure. Wasn't the first time and as we can see right now, pretty good chance that it wont't be the last time.
  21. My bet is that promotions will be coming sooner than expected for Moncada and Benintendi. Dombrowski is paying a visit but really just to check out the facilities - ok, right- I believe it. It will be interesting to see when they get Moncada off second base also. Lots of talk about Owens taking Kelly's place in the rotation for now. Although an upgrade, I 'm not sure that it is the type of upgrade they are looking for - trade winds are going to be blowing in Boston. With Elias being called up, how many innings (minutes) will it be before Farrell throws him in there. Regardless of what the game situation may be, I'm going with the earliest available opportunity.
  22. What were some of those other "packages" alluded to?
  23. have to think that it is possible that kelly knows that Dombrowski has limited patience when it comes to his "potential"
  24. No he is not dead. He is not young and pretty sure that he would't want the job but it would be good to have a person who just makes sound baseball decisions leading the way. I have tried not to be overly critical of farrell but he just has done too many things that seem to cause him to make lengthy explanations for why he feels that some seemingly unsound decisions are sound.
