    I wish we could go back to the Sox before Henry. The chowder was better. Got it.
  2. moonslav59
    Maybe a Yawkey grandchild can buy the Sox from Henry and they can serve chowder in the stands.

    If we pay all of almost all of his contract we might get something useful.

    I guess I can picture myself visiting a Yankee talk blog, but for all day and everyday? Mommy issues.
  5. moonslav59
    I guess some people can never stop complaining. 4 rings. Period.
  6. moonslav59
    Coming from you, that’s a compliment.
  7. moonslav59
    So, pricks are more down to earth?

    Winning a ring will work. Hell, 2021 shut a lot of people up. My point is that Bogey is no Betts. Yes, the cumulative effect will catch up to Henry, before too long, but seriously, If he keeps spending in the top 5-6, I'm not sure the bitching is warranted, unless we keep stinking up the joint.

    Maybe others are still responding, but you do have to wonder what joy some people get by doing this. I still think it boils down to mommy issues.

    This team will not go cheap, like BAL did. Fans will be pissed, but if they got over Betts, I'm not sure why Bogey would be the last straw. Now, Betts, Bogey, then Devers, maybe, but only if fans think the team sucks and or is getting worse looking farther ahead. To me, Betts leaving is 10 times worse than Bogey. Devers leaving would be 8-10 times worse. Fans get over crap like this. Hell, we once traded Lester, Lackey, Peavy, Doubront and Miller all at once, and fans shut up after the ring a few years later.

    I have more faith in Valdez than Diekman, but with the contracts involved, it's understandable. Besides, maybe Valdez ends up staying in our minors as a non 40 man guy. Whoopie!!!
  12. moonslav59
    The only unequivocal star player we might get back for Bogey, would be another 2 month rental that plays a different position, and even that is highly improbable. It's 2 months of Bogey- not 6 years.
  13. moonslav59
    Indeed. At least Verdugo is okay on D.
  14. moonslav59
    It’s like his comments after being a slouch. It only adds to the puzzlement. He caved on the vax. I’m not impressed or feeling any need to “give credit. I’d trade him over Dugo, because he’ll bring back more.
  15. moonslav59
    Then, the comments, afterwards, as I heard third person, cemented my disdain for Duran.
  16. moonslav59
    You're not welcome.
  17. moonslav59
    Agreed. He may not even be able to get to a -2 DRS CF'er.
  18. moonslav59
    I see why we are playing him in CF, now. Verdugo can't play anywhere but LF. Having 2 LF-ONLY OF'ers necessitates the trading of one of them by the start of 2023. This deadline might bring a better return, since both have more than 1 year of team control, but one must be gone by 2023. I would not be upset, if both were gone, assuming we add other OF'er between now and then.
  19. moonslav59
    I can keep telling you, but it doesn't seem to matter. The Sale extension sucked. The JBJ trade made my scalp bleed from the scratching. The Price signing sucked, but for the ring. I'm not saying an equal suck with Sale's contract. Sale has 2 years to contribute to a ring, and he's even with Price- in my book. Maybe not yours, but why are you asking me pointless questions?
  20. moonslav59
    Like he instantly knew, it was Dugo's ball. I have my doubts. It looked to me, like he chose to pout. Just my opinion.
  21. moonslav59
    It goes way beyond that play. You know the other issue about Duran and "taking one for the team," and I know you disagree with my position on that, but I'm done with Duran. He will never come close to being my favorite Sox player. If we keep him, I'll cheer for him, but that's about it. Sorry, if I disappoint you, but I don't like his attitude, and his defense has not improved.
  22. moonslav59
    Of course, it's a small sample size, and I'm not making a point the Bogey and JD are chokes. I don't even believe in "clutch" as a skill. The fact is, JD and Bogey have not delivered, when needed, this year. Verdugo and others have done better or much better. I'm not implying anything beyond that.
  23. moonslav59
    I totally agree, but that does not lessen the need to hit with men on, and those that don't are open to criticism. (Just don't call them "chokes.")
  24. moonslav59
    While Price did not suck for us, and a 118 ERA+ is good, that's not what we paid him to give us. Only 588 IP in 4 seasons was the kicker. Sure, that's more than Sale has given us, but I wasn't comparing those numbers. If Sale is part of a ring team in 2023 or 2024, will he be absolved, like Price was? I have no doubt, that if we did not win a ring in 2018, most would have viewed Price's deal as an overall failure. (I'm not even bringing up the fact that we paid him $32M not to pitch for us, at a time where money was extremely tight.)

    Even 16 years vs 8 years?
