    This will make some people really nervous.

    What? I normally really do like your posts but you got me on this one. Every athlete that I have ever known including amateurs and professionals agrees with what I said. Much of what you said stated the obvious but I'm really not to sure that I understand the premise that I mistook. I'm going to let this one go for awhile. Once again, I like your posts and think that we could have some civil debates. Also, if you start talking sets and subsets that makes me nervous enough to miss a 2 footer that's worth something. I don't see a lot of compromise in the mathematical approach.

    I wish Zimmerman was in a Sox uniform. Hope I'm glad he isn't later on!

    Pressure in the field of athletics is something that all athletes at all levels face. Professional athletes have proven that they have the ability to compete in their chosen field better than most. If all professional athletes were able to deal with all of the pressures that they must deal with, there might not be much of a need for sports psychologists. Certain situations I would think would tend to be more pressure packed. The question I guess is can it affect their abilities. I think absolutely. I cannot for the life of me understand that it is even possible to imagine that pressure, nerves whatever don't affect us all no matter what we do and no matter at what level we do it.

    If the pitching staff can hold things together, which I think it can, the price for any upgrade might get lower but if the pitching staff struggles no team will be making things easy on the Sox.

    One thing I do like about this game is the lack of guaranteed contracts. You get what you earn.

    Speith is a great breath of fresh air in the world of sports today. Whether you golf or even like golf, he represents something good about the sports world.

    A fairly good start for E. Rodriguez yesterday. JBJ - 3 for 8. keep on hitting jackie. Good starts for both young lefty pitchers.

    Very good post. If anyone has had the good fortune to be a low handicapper here you know the difficulties and complexities of this game. I know a little bit about the game and I can say with certainty that I know 12 handicappers that I would much prefer to stand over a meaningful putt than me. I might be better than them day to day but when the larger money is on the line there are those that deal with it better. It doesn't make them better just better in certain situations. I can only speak for amateur athletics but there are them that can get it done under the gun better than others. Maybe they are clutch maybe they choke less, I don't know, but it happens and I have to say that sometimes it really pisses me off. Over and out on this subject for me. I can only speak for what I personally have and do experience.

    It really is good fun. A lot of passion here. I know that on my part it can be misguided but without it I'm not living.

    Kimmi sorry - Jordan Spieth is just clutch. We will see how it goes. If he backs up, I will retract.

    Every game is a big one for the Buckster. Hope he builds on the last one.
  13. cp176
    And as the pressure builds and becomes more and more intense, most seem to fold. I guess the last ones left standing are just damned good at doing what they do. The world just keeps spinning round and round.

    She's the teacher Northern Star. I wouldn't apologize to most here but I kind of like her. I don't always agree with her for sure but I do respect her opinions. I do hear you though.
  15. cp176
    I understand. I apologize. I really had a moment. I feel like I am sitting on the bench outside of the Principal's office. You know what that is like. I'm not proud of my moment. I have to work hard sometimes to keep emotions tucked away. I've broken a few golf clubs and fought with officials and friends to. All over stupid guy things. Who can lift the most, who can run the farthest and fastest etc., etc., etc. Sorry.

    Very good outing for Owens yesterday. Bradley, Brentz, Marrero, and Castillo tearing it up early. Swihart not so much just yet.
  17. cp176
    Thanks for that.
  18. cp176
    slow night I guess -
  19. cp176
    That's ok. I'm not really what you would call touchy feely. I missed it when you said something that had anything to do with baseball.
  20. cp176
    I am sensitive. You obviously aren't stupid. Add something moron. I'm sensitive but fairly tough.
  21. cp176
    Who in the hell are you you repulsive little puke? Do you ever add anything that even remotely relates to baseball or is this just your little way of playing some kind of queer little game? Your posts are nothing but direct attacks . I can live with someone who criticizes me if they are talking baseball. You do not. You are a hater. Baseball??? I know that Fred doesn't need me to back him up but you add nothing. All that you have done is criticize? Baseball?
  22. cp176
    Well thank you. i really try to understand the direction that people are coming from with some of these posts. I appreciate the passion expressed because without some of that you got nothing! Baseball to me is as much about the stories told as anything these days and I have heard some beauts lately. I have a friend here who saw Ted and Mickey Vernon play. The two best left handed swings he ever saw. Another who worked for the Sox and was in their dugout for 20 years. His first was in 1975. His stories are priceless. Today we talked about things measured by statistics and things that are not. He was a people person on the frontline so you can imagine the direction that he comes from. The history, traditions, and the stories are what make the game for me.

    Holt=yes
  24. cp176
    It's been a lot of fun actually. I am impressed with the game threads. I don't consider myself a casual fan but I definitely am compared to some people who are active on this site.
  25. cp176
    Steven Wright has lived for a game like this. Everyone fouled out and the equipment manager forgot his uniform.
