    Chris Sale is one of my all time favorite pitchers and competitors. He has had a massive tough run but I'm still hoping that we all get to see him pitch again.

    I'm the youngest old guy that my younger friends know so i've been told.
  3. cp176
    Me as well. I have a great friend who refers to me as Eddie as in Eddie Haskell! I don't tend to take myself seriously most of the time.

    once again - what? You think that my comment related in some way to players involved in a debate about the use of metrics?
  5. cp176
    What? I was being humorous. For the record, because I am not a fan of an overdosing deluge of information doesn't mean I am opposed to someone who thinks otherwise. I wonder how many of our ml ballplayers constantly check and worry about their metrics?Once again, this debate simply amuses me. I have no pony in the game.

    Guys like us share a special bond that these youngsters who are always squabbling about useless stuff will never share. Maybe I grew to love the game so much partly because of the anticipation of next year. The expectation of winning every year was tough as well. When the Sixers finally got past the Cs in '67/68 it hurt just as much as any Red Sox loss. We just weren't prepared for it. We were supposed to win every year.

    i've been called a pain in the ass by many and i am completely comfortable with it. I wonder if others posting here prolifically can say the same?
  8. cp176
    Whoops i left out '75.
  9. cp176
    i know right. Can you can get anymore screwed up than we are now? If Tony C. hadn't gotten injured, we might be in a much better place.

    1967 made 1978 and 1986 really stink!

    Limit your statistical reading. Too much of anything can be a bad thing. Pick 4 stats that you like the most and go with them. Keeps headaches to a minimum. Plus the fact that you might not become a pain in the ass to others by trying to impress them with a solid grasp of possibly some useless information.

    A post that i can support! WAIT 'TILL NEXT YEAR. It always made me look forward to the spring. 1967 came and screwed everything up.

    Answer = Did you use your eyes? Good to see that we are starting to come full circle here. I'm all about momentum and clutch as well. There has always been only so much this brain could hold. Box scores worked pretty well for me and still do actually.

    I have been a sox fan since 1955. I have never been as turned off by a team as this one in all of my years.
  15. cp176
    ok here goes - i'll preface this with a no offense to anyone but not paying Eovaldi and Sale for what they had done and actually might still be able to do in the future would have been a huge mistake. Considering what both men have endured injury wise and what they fought through to get to the top, it would would have been foolish not to pay them if you had the capital which JH does. Over the course of my 67 years of following this team, we have had many gamers, winners and battlers. these two men represent the best of them. They are winners.i'v heard all of the crap about their ages and injury histories but i have to say that if you a multi billionaire who wants to win moving forward, you need to have players like this. You can hindsight all you like and cry about budgets all you want, signing them at the time was indeed the right thing to do.
  16. cp176
    Bogaerts is going to get paid. I'm thinking that at this point the Red Sox would have to overwhelm him to keep him. he has been to the top of the mountain for sure. Some of his ultimate decision might have to do with what are the chances the team he chooses to play for have of winning moving forward. it is possible and even likely that he might leave money on the table to play for a winner. The Red Sox might not be that team.
  17. cp176
    Has he ruined the farm yet and driven the big club into debtors prison ? Sorry Bell - I just could not help this. Someone will soon give us a reason explaining how the Phillies will be paying the price of success for years and years. My sarcasm is not aimed toward you Bell. lol
  18. cp176
    Don't forget who you are communicating with notin. I'm thinking that JH can afford whatever he wants to purchase. If you consider what he has purchased that should be obvious...
  19. cp176
    Cora made a point today of saying that duran is our centerfielder and is a part of what the team is trying to accomplish going forward. He has to defend his players for sure but after the way duran played today and has been playing it has to be very tough to do.
  20. cp176
    Gates and Musk certainly are at the top but I would be very curious to know what JH's worth is. He is a multi billionaire. what I have seen so far, really does make me wonder if a winning red sox team is much of a high priority. Has anyone heard anything from him? It is also good to see a few others here as sick as I am every time DD's is brought up as being a primary problem for Bloom. You man up and take responsibility. Move on...

    Oh Bell really. Take it from someone who of course has no bias (lol), that title to which you refer does seem to have a few other candidates. Just like in the political world, depends on the side of the aisle you favor.
  23. cp176
    this probably is true. i would go further and say that most very good Red Sox fans do not immerse themselves in most of the outside the lines talk that gets discussed here.
  24. cp176
    So Bell - this is what the plan is - rebuild and compete every year? I wonder if that has ever been said before? If that is the plan, then of course I am all for it. Let's go. sounds really simple to me.
  25. cp176
    i think that it is quite easy to say that there is a plan if you are seeing something that you agree with. Obviously players have been added to the farm. That likely is a plan that most teams have. You do have to have players. If that was the plan, then adding Story just doesn't seem to work. There have been so many moves that don't seem to make much sense but could certainly be considered part of the "build up the farm" plan. I hope that that farm gets built up quickly because if Bogaerts, Devers, etc. are allowed to escape this mess I think that it is going to be a long time before something worth watching will be in Fenway again.
