On these two things, we agree my friend. There's only one Joni. Notin, I will take you word for it on Greenday!
-
You're very fragile if my mere posting ruins anything for you.
-
I'll say again, nothing like this should be judged on the benefit of hindsight. You agree there were reasons to do what they did. I think the conversation doesn't need anymore than this. As an aside I didn't think you were going after Cora in particular, as I imagine it was group decision. As an aside to the aside, I stay clear of the game threads. If I wanted that kind of night I'd put some Joni on and scroll through pictures of old lovers.

I imagine that you agree that the educated guesses of the Sox management carry a bit more weight. Chavis has done nothing to prove he should be on the team at the moment. His ST was good but then so was Dalbec's. It counts for nothing. It's a long season after a very short one. The club obviously feel that the pitchers need protecting as much as possible. I'm absolutely delighted that we haven't had to use the fourteen pitchers. The more we are able to ease them into the season the better. But going into to the start, there were a lot of question marks, and the move made sense and cost us nothing. Who cares if we didn't need twelve with hindsight? That's why you don't use hindsight to question decisions at a time point. I just don't understand the need to criticise the decision. We're playing great ball and leading the division. It smacks of searching for things to be annoyed about or just posting to show your prediction was correct. Either seems a bit ungracious to me, but there you go.
-
Okay, but you were guessing. And with an untried rotation with plenty of questions marks about it, and after a shortened season, it could well have gone a different way. We are doing just fine and the decision was a sound one, and cost us nothing. It just seems to be searching for something to complain about.
-
It's been a sweet week. No less for the fact some posters post a lot less when there isn't something to complain about.
-
It's easy to make those arguments with hindsight. Management obviously felt there could be some effect of the pandemic and pitchers would tire earlier. The less stress we put on he pitchers now the better it will be later in the season. I know it's the sports fan prerogative, but you don't have to look for something to complain about.
-
My condolences RF.
-
That are known to YOU. Blows my mind how often sports fans take rock solid positions on something (in this case Bloom is now a confirmed lying sack of s*** apparently) while having less than a fraction of the information at hand to make such certain statements. Idiotic.
-
Biden and Cora on the same day. It's a very good day.
-
Fantastic post. Ahh, to have more posters like you and Kimmi on this board.

Mookie Betts and David Price have been traded to Dodgers

I'd question the intelligence and mentality of anyone who thought it was. -

Very happy we aren't the ones that offered that contract. I don't believe he will age well, and I don't believe he ever wanted to sign a long term contract with the Sox unless it was for something utterly absurd. His comments yesterday of "This is the only place I would have signed this long" (paraphrasing) might be paying lip-service to the Dodgers fans, but it backs up a suspicion I have had for a long time he didn't want to stay with the Sox long term. Mookie has always been about the money. He'll have the Dodger fans bevelling it's all about them in no time. Good luck to him. He was gonna get paid somewhere, I'm just glad it wasn't here. -
Very good, thanks. I hope you and the family are all safe and doing well?
-
Yeah agreed, Kimmi. I think Mookie (and all free agents) will be looking at a depressed market next year. It will make for interesting viewing.
-
I've been wondering what had happened, but was too worried to ask. Delighted for you and the family. Wonderful news.
-
There's almost zero chance there's any games this year. At least none with any fan in the stadium. Nice to seem players stepping up and supplying cash to the lesser fortunate.
-
In your mind, I'm sure I have.
-
I don't believe there's proof of that. There were a couple of cases in Japan, but they were thought to be false readings on the earlier test. edit: ahh that article covers it pretty much.

Nobody enjoys somebody constantly acting superior. Most tragically of all, not even the person doing it.
-
You seem to be incredibly proud of the fact you've travelled, lived elsewhere. And yet in none of your experiences did the local culture rub off on you enough to help you lose the witless boorishness you bring to every conversation.
-
Thanks Kimmi.
-
Very sorry to hear that oldtimer. Me and my partner both got hit with it 10 days ago. I was lucky in that the symptoms weren't too bad, but she got hammered. It was scary for a little while but thankfully two recoveries. I've got everything crossed your nieces son-in-law comes out of it just fine too.
-
You're not alone. I have no idea on most these references either.

It's spreading heavily in Florida, and Chinese scientists tested it up to 38 degrees on a surface and it survived for over three days. So while there's still hope, it looks unlikely the heat will affect it too much.
