    Unfortunately, for me, the "past" you claim I should be living in had names like Gary Geiger, Ike Delock, Don Buddin etc. No thanks. As for the Bruins, their 'original six' days were somewhat less glorious than those w/ Bobby Orr et al.

    Devers

    jad replied to Dalas21000's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk

    Exactly. When I saw him in AA just before he came up (I hadn't heard of him), he looked like he was in a different league from the others--rather like when Major leaguers are re-habbing there. Great fielder, I thought (he made a couple of spectacular plays), not much at the plate. So much for the 'eye-test'. Or 'small sample size'. Nonetheless, the idea that he is unathletic is silly.

    At a .138 clip, how does he deserve more than that?
  4. jad
    Yup. And then simply replace with all those readily available Cy Young candidates. I really don't see why the RS stick with these guys.
  5. jad
    Well yes, he won the MVP for the ALCS which was great to see. But let's not get carried away: even in that series, his average was .200 (hardly Manny-esque), as it was through the entire post-season. That, given his defense, I suppose is acceptable. But a couple of weeks of that is not going to make up for his (now customary) abysmal start at the plate.

    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.
  8. jad
    What? Are you 10 years old? Why not get real enemies instead of inventing them on the internet.
  9. jad
    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..
  11. jad
    I'll take that bet!
  12. jad
    It would stop me from trying. Maybe this is why I don't have any friends who are corporations.
  13. jad
    ??? 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."
  14. jad
    I love the smell of racism in teh late afternoon.
  15. jad
    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.
  16. jad
    But then, if asked "Do you like leading off?", what would any player say? "No"?
  17. jad
    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.
  18. jad
    I don't understand this. Was the whole deal an 'experiment'? If he hits .300 he stays? If it's .230 he's gone?
  19. jad
    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!
  20. jad
  21. jad
    Yeah, you're right. (This is what the Block or Ignore function is for.)
  22. jad
    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.
  23. jad
    Then there is that guy Tiger, who is totally washed up at age 43.
  24. jad
    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.
  25. jad
    Vasquez clearly should have had it.
