Yeah, concussions. Big whoop. What's a brain injury? Just shake it off the way the bad-ass sports-boards posters do. And being half blind! Come on. Grow a pair.
-
How was Devers "not ready" when he was called up? He hit .284 the first year up in almost 60 games. I know it's traditional to claim this, but I don't see what the evidence is.

What? Are you 10 years old? Why not get real enemies instead of inventing them on the internet.

Pedroia out with renewed left knee pain

Exactly. Thanks for looking this up. -

There is no way the CBA is so poorly written as to allow such a loophole, which has the sole purpose of avoiding luxury tax that is obviously due.. -
I'll take that bet!

It would stop me from trying. Maybe this is why I don't have any friends who are corporations. -
??? That is horseshit. The Red Sox were the last MLB team to be integrated. Maybe I'm missing your irony. I suppose this is like say "If the Redskins hadn't made the daring decision to draft Ernie Davis (immediately trading him away), there might still be segregated teams in the NFL."
-
I love the smell of racism in teh late afternoon.
-
Maybe a while longer, since it was the most significant social action ever taken by MLB. Many of us are old enough to have followed that segregated team, and I don't mind being reminded what I blinded myself to as a kid.
-
But then, if asked "Do you like leading off?", what would any player say? "No"?
-
I'm sure you're right. I confess, the intricacies and subtleties of the argument over whether a catcher is responsible for pitchers' success were too abstruse for me to follow, so I am having difficulty determining whether (and whose) remarks on this topic are ironic.
-
I don't understand this. Was the whole deal an 'experiment'? If he hits .300 he stays? If it's .230 he's gone?
-
Sorry the cartoon was so lo-res. My bad. It's what I feel like when I hear things like 'small sample size', 'it's early', 'no worries', 'he'll find his stride' ... and all the other many variants we delude ourselves into believing when we forget that early losses count exactly the same as late ones!

-
Yeah, you're right. (This is what the Block or Ignore function is for.)
-
Dude. You thought the post was a joke, then you RE-READ it and incredibly determined it was serious (how any literate person could do this is beyond me, but so far, so good. We all make mistakes. Even you and me.) But then, you berate posters who over a year ago made this joke as being "stupid" and not real fans. That's what you need to apologize for, not for your surprising failure to understand it.
-
Then there is that guy Tiger, who is totally washed up at age 43.
-
Yeah, the poor fans. Who don't get to see concussions or broken legs at home plate anymore. Who do these entitled players think they are? We want are cheap-shot career-ending slides back.
-
Vasquez clearly should have had it.
-
“Ground balls, I’m going to block it. I’ve got a cup," Vazquez joked. "Don’t worry.”
-
Wow!! His post was NOTHING compared to the depth and wit of this one! I think I follow you: water .. wet? Damn! I get it ... Like "The Pope is Catholic"? Whoa! Man, when you take on other posters, you really bring it. Are you a professional?
-
Cool! Too bad most of those numbers of his seem to be in decline from a couple of years ago when one would expect them to be improving. But if this argument is what it takes to keep him on the field, fine. I'd frankly like to watch him play in the field even if it costs the RS a few games to keep him there!
-
Exactly! Time to take the Bryce Harper approach to the rules: if it gets in my way (e.g., the shift), then it needs to be illegal. Obviously, opposing pitchers should not be allowed to throw anything other than 80 mph fast balls and occasional change-ups, up in the zone to him.
-
I know. That's why I like him. But why a hitting coach can't figure out what the difference is between these streaks is beyond me. Again, we're not asking him to become Carl Yastzemski at the plate, just, maybe, Jimmy Pearsall or Gary Geiger.
