    But when the RS suck, as they do this year, even luxury seats with hooker attendants wouldn't fill the place.

    I don't know. That's what they said in the 70s, and then every new park wanted to model itself after Fenway. To me, it's as much a part of the game as any of the players: when I've been, which isn't often, it's to be be in Fenway. I doubt the RS would be selling out if they had a cookie-cutter stadium (with great sightlines) out in the burbs.

    Please do not use language like that! I'm retired and any reference to 'fac*lty m**ting' can be triggering.

    Jesus! Is the idea that basic major-league hitters don't do well against Ohtani?
  5. jad
    I think the word you want is not 'stones' but 'despair' or maybe 'resignation'.
  6. jad
    But it may look like that once the bidding for Ohtani starts.

    Sorry about yesterday. In the midst of my pre 420-celebrations, I neglected my duties (which I likely would have forgotten had I known of them). Go Sox.

    Any PLAYER in history. I mean, I wasn't implying the dude was going to make more than, say, what most of us on this board make. But yeah, I'd say LAD or maybe San Diego.
  9. jad
    I think players do that in all sports, not because they want the money, but because they see money as a mark of value or worth. But Ohtani is already going to make more than any other player in history. He'll go where he wants to go.
  10. jad
    It won't matter. There will be plenty of suitors. Ohtani surely knows the recent history of the RS and the way they've treated their stars, and the crap they put on the field. Why in the world would he want to be part of this? when he could go anywhere he wants.

    Yes. Without Youk , i can now listen to the tv feed instead of the radio

    Still out. Cora said today he will play tomorrow.
  13. jad
    Scheduled day off.
  14. jad
    Agreed. But then, no one would have looked at last year's pathetic team and concluded: "The problem is Vasquez." And sure, RS could use a better catcher; teams could use better players at ALL positions. But again, no one looking to upgrade the catching spot would have thought: you know what the answer is? R. McQuire.
  15. jad
    Ha! You're right that I'm having a little more trouble finding the positives in this team than all my Polly-anna-ish brethren on this board!
  16. jad
    ?? Because of his great success in that spot? Or is it just a way to better distribute the six or so sub-.150 hitters in the lineup?
  17. jad
    As Nadal famously said when asked if Kyrgios could be a top-ten player, if he could just do X and not do Y and ...: " Eef eef eef ... " He is an average at best hitter and has defensively deficiencies that have been exploited already. But like Pham, no other team wanted him. THus, a 'bargain' for the Boy-Genius and another step toward getting rid of Bogey, JD, and any others that aren't 'his guys'.
  18. jad
    Maybe not. But I could use his tactic as a response, concluding in triumph: "I said 'some people'; I didn't actually say his name!"

    Alas, Hugh, some humans are so belligerent, they can't stand the idea that two people agree, as we just did, even on small matters. They thus feel compelled (by some obscure and unfathomable process in their minds) to prove that only they can have the last word.
  20. jad
    To say that the McGuire acquisition is one of highlights of Bloom's wheeling and dealings says about all we need to know about this team. It's just going to be a long dismal season until we are done with the Henry/Bloom Axis of Horse-Pucky.
  21. jad
    The only good thing I can think of is that one more game gets us a day closer to Ohtani, and, even more important, a day closer to 4/20, the celebration of which is probably the only antidote to this dismal season. (Six guys in the line-up hitting under .200. The other aspects--pitching, defense, baserunning--are unfortunately worse.)
  22. jad
    I complain because getting rid of a popular player to get an unknown player of no particular distinction (other than his rap sheet) doesn't seem to me to be a good idea from a PR standpoint. Wasn't McG caatching when ... was it Baltimore? ... ran wild on basepaths? Seems that Wong is better defensively but can't hit. But you're clearly right. I'm basically complaining about the color schemes on the Titanic.
  23. jad
    Don't be ridiculous! That's the kind of thinking that suggest Bogaerts is better than Story. (But you're right! McG is hitting well; if only he could catch ... I mean on the field of course).
  24. jad
    And Vaz hitting around .375. Maybe because he doesn't have to waste time visiting his parole officer, or working with his therapist.
  25. jad
    Only if by "spare parts" he means "after-market parts."
