  1. You guys are right. He was Julius Erving before Julius Erving, with the flying dunks from the foul line. The ball looked like a softball in his hands.
  2. People want to ignore that the Sox are conservative. They aren't going to dump a veteran for a newcomer coming out of spring training. They probably believe a vet is the right guy for RF or the bench right now, but if things don't work out or there are injuries, they'll be glad to give young guys an opportunity. Plus dropping a vet could cause clubhouse issues no matter how great Farrell may be at putting out fires.
  3. Try calling 1-800-236-7889 or 1-800-BEN-PUTZ if you prefer.
  4. It's funny how some residents, politicians, talk show hosts (WGBH) think that the Boston area is so open minded and progressive when it comes to race, when in actuality they may be pandering to their own guilt of how they think about race. When the camera pans the stands at Fenway, how many black people do you see? Whether they are avoiding Fenway because of Red Sox history, or because baseball is less popular in the black community, or some other reason is not for me to answer. There is a great book by Howard Bryant (former Herald writer) about the way the Red Sox dealt with black players through the 70s and 80s. Here is a link to an interview with him. http://www.hardballtimes.com/hardballquestions-howardbryant/
  5. cp, are you boycotting google for a reason? Are you picketing or maybe going on youtube with rants?
  6. Actually that's Chris Mathews.
  7. Nelson Cruz is in Seattle. And speaking of Cruz... Juan Cruz or Oil Can Boyd reincarnated ? http://cdn.sportsoverdose.com/thumbs/juan-cruz-37-mlb.jpg ............ http://millercards.net/im_cd_large/cd113.jpg
  8. What about Ron Bloomberg's rookie card? The #1 overall pick in the draft and baseball's first DH. Or is he before your time in Yankee lore?
  9. If Miller doesn't fall into his old control problems, he'll be tough especially with the short porch in RF. But who knows if he has the mentality to close. It might make his control issues return.
  10. Unbelievable game with Providence and Miami. Miami pulled their goalie with 12 minutes to go and scored 3 goals to get close, but no cigar.
  11. Mike Hazen was on with Joe Costig just now and said the Sox went after Hannigan because of his talent at handling a pitching staff.
  12. I guess if Buchholz wasn't named the starter there would be a return to his mysterious maladies? Can we get him an appearance on the Dr Phil Show?
  13. Yout comment was "Victorino imo-- but then again if he is healthy, a terrific defender and hitting." Nothing I have seen or heard indicates that he is the Victorino of 2 years ago. All I asked is what has given you the impression that's a probability. My question/comment is not related to Castillo.
  14. Farrell said it will depend on matchups with maybe even Tommy Layne throwing in certain situations, but Mujica is most likely.
  15. Like take the sticky notes off one's forehead?
  16. I don't give much credence to a player's comments about his own health. But all the local and national commentators I've heard this spring say Pedroia looks and is said to be healthy. Ergo, he's pretty freakin valuable today even if his contract doesn't end for 7 long seasons.
  17. St. Louis likes Lackey so much they refused to renegotiate or extend his contract and he's making $500K. I don't like the guy but you would think they would at least give him an incentive laden deal for this year just to make him feel wanted ... or maybe not.
  18. Too many people are giving me instructions to mark things down. I have sticky notes all over my monitor and can't see half of it.
  19. What has happened this spring to indicate any of those are probable? Possible, I suppose, but likely, I doubt it.
  20. One day it's Chacin, the next Doubront. Somebody please pass the Xanax.
  21. The Rockies finished 30 games under .500 last year - the second worst record in baseball. Their starting rotation this year is shakey at best: 1. Jorge De La Rosa 2. Kyle Kendrick 3. Jordan Lyles 4. Tyler Matzek 5. David Hale 6. Jon Gray They waived Chacin even though De la Rosa and Hale are hurt. His shoulder was a problem half of last year. Don't you wonder why a team with as bad a staff as them would waive this guy even though he has pitched better away from Denver?
  22. Craig is a stiff based on what? ... a feeling in your bones? Lackey and his 4.3-4.4 ERA with a 1.35 WIP is a stiff. I'm glad he's gone.
  23. Victorino should be fifth on the depth chart behind Castillo, Craig, Holt, and Nava (even though he can't throw from RF). Too bad there isn't a health clause in Victorino's contract like there was with Lackey.
