  1. i thought i read last night that there was 2 people on the motorcycle. they have 1 in custody (the motorcycle driver that received some street justice) but the trigger man is on the lamb....
  2. unfortunately for us DD is the "GM". we know what he does......
  3. Darwinzon has a chance to move himself into my "definitely traded" bucket with a solid outing tonight. I'm feeling some TylerD mojo. baby Mook mojo. Dub.
  4. 1 thing is for certain. if...and that is a pretty big if....John Henry releases the $$$$ reigns....kiss the following buh bye: Casas Dalbec Jarren Chatham Mata.....
  5. it certainly didnt take very long to second guess if we should have went after boone instead?.......
  6. you are probably right. WTF Cora was probably too busy strategizing who to give a rest to in today's game.
  7. who knows. we (fans/public) should never know. but hopefully he sent a message to the players. or maybe WTF Cora just hugged them all after the "tough" loss....
  8. yup. 2015.
  9. i started one the day he was hired. that may have been on the old site tho....
  10. 1. the raptors will win game 6 2. the bruins will win game 7 3. i have not been this "mad" at the Boston Red Sox since game 7 of the 2008 ALCS. reason #1...the Greatest Red Sox Player of All Time was shot the night before and this team cannot even get up for this game and win one for the proverbial Gipper? WTF Cora. if he didn't flip the spread after last nights game i am all in on WTF Cora. for real. Barnes should immediately apologize to Red Sox Nation and to David Ortiz and his family.
  11. NY Post: Authorities in the Dominican Republic believe David Ortiz was shot by two police officers hired by a drug lord who thought the former Red Sox slugger was having an affair with his wife, according to a report.
  12. some good news (i think): David Ortiz is expected to be flown from the Dominican Republic to Boston on Monday afternoon for further treatment of a gunshot wound, and answered yes and no questions from family members, according to one of his associates. Leo Lopez, Ortiz's assistant, told USA TODAY Sports that Ortiz's family is hopeful he will be on his way to Boston by 4 p.m. ET on Monday, via a plane sent by the Red Sox. Lopez said doctors were examining Ortiz early Monday afternoon to determine whether his condition was sufficiently stable to travel. "Just yes or no. Not a lot of words, but he can talk," Lopez said of Ortiz. The Red Sox said in a statement that they "offered David's family all available resources to aid his recovery." He is expected to receive further treatment at Massachusetts General Hospital.
  13. the way he gets to live the rest of his life has changed forever. jacksonianmarch can probably shed further light on this. such a sad thing to happen to such a seemingly great man. seems to be very kind, generous, family oriented, helps community. i had the pleasure to meet him 13 years ago at Citizens Bank Park. he picked up my son, pinched his cheeks, and signed his red sox onesie. super charismatic, larger than life superstar. but very very much relatable.
  14. Latest info from CNN: Here's what we know so far about the attack: The shooting: Ortiz was shot in the back at a club in his native Dominican Republic on Sunday, according to police, Felix Durán Mejia, a spokesperson for the Dominican National Police, told CNN. His condition: Ortiz, who is recovering from surgery, is in stable condition and “out of danger,” Mejia said. The suspects: Multiple people have been detained in relation to the shooting, the police spokesperson tells CNN. Ortiz was shot by a person on a motorcycle, but it's unclear whether that individual is in custody. The aftermath of the shooting: One of the suspects is being treated at a local hospital in the Dominican Republic, the Dominican Health Service said in a statement. The suspect was hit and attacked by bystanders immediately after Ortiz was shot.
  15. i dont think he panics for another month. July 10th seems like a good deadline to start the "panic" process. I agree with A7 & TD on the causes at the moment. but i believe we can go on a tear with this team as-is. color me hopefully optimistic.....
  16. i love the USA. my job affords me to travel to many countries. many i would never have thought of going to ( to name a few of the really random ones: Russia, Africa, Thailand, Ukraine, Hungary, Taiwan, Belarus, Turkey, Bulgaria)....i have been to every south/central american country at least 2x. I would not want to live anywhere else on the planet for sure. I think sometimes my responses are reflective of the impact that i see the USA policies have caused around the globe. most times i truly believe we are only trying to help. other times it seems like we have alternate agendas. the citizens of the countries tend to believe the latter.....
  17. no one is saying the USA sucks. point taken about the machete and other deaths. the homocide rate is much higher in DR then USA. (omitting US Virgin Islands & Puerto Rico which are both higher than DR). I just saw Papi's last IG Story post. looks like he had his kids at indoor go kart track yesterday afternoon right before this craziness. glad his kids did not get shot at.
  18. JD was never going to opt out this year. after next season is a different story.
  19. apologies, but when you are more then a handful behind a team in the standings and you are actually playing them head-to-head it is imperative that you put your best possible players into the lineup. they can have their "rest days" vs the dregs of the league. not the team you are trying to chase down. Devers & Beni should not have been sitting.
  20. tell that to a young black male living in chicago. (or any urban area). not really wanting to debate it as this should be about David Ortiz but the fact is more citizens are killed yearly by gunfire in the USA then any other country on the planet except brazil. Brazil: 43,000 USA: 37,000 3rd place dips quite a bit from the gun death leaders with Mexico coming in at 15,000 (funny how the USA is more than 2x more then Mexico but all we hear is how there are so many "bad dudes" in Mexico. oh well.) DR is way down the list with 1,000 deaths. OK so our population is waaaaay more than DR. right? so how about gun deaths per 100,000 citizens? USA: 10.6 DR: 10.6 pick your poison.... prayers for Papi and his family.
