  1. Here's to many, many more of those moments this season, Youk!!!!
  2. Heheh ... agreed, agreed. (Leftover defensiveness from posting sites in the past...)
  3. Mookie and Hanley bombed back to back in the first!
  4. Aside from a lack of runs ... but that is merely a personal observation. (I think Sale might agree. Heh.)
  5. It took Papi a while to adjust to not having Manny as his cohort in the line up. Once he got used to life without Manny, he did better aside from injuries to his hand and feet. And before you find fault with me, I am not knocking Ortiz in any fashion. I have been a stout supporter for David in other places, with no apologies for my affection.
  6. Max - the disquiet within me is about the RISP, if not the power outage. If the keys start clicking, things will be fine but I am wondering if the missing big stick (ala Big Papi) is what makes the difference. It's early but I am still a little ill at ease. There I said my peace (piece?) and now back to Rah Rah Red Sox :oD
  7. Mal, I didn't see either Foxx or the Splendid ... I honor them with the feeling and fervor folks felt and shared back when I first became aware of baseball in 1962 (most of the previous 6 years, I spent over 7500 miles away in Darjeeling and western Bengal, which happened to be my first 6 years I tread om this globe.) As I learned to play the game in the sandlots of Rochester, NH, there was almost a level of deity ascribed to Teddy. My hero became Yaz, no surprise, eh? As a huge Big Papi fan, even with his centrality to three WS titles, I think Teddy is still king of the hill, when we are thinking solely of hitting.
  8. Good evening Moon, I've been gone for a little while but I see you are true to form. Almost 7000 posts in less than - what - a year? The good wife asked about how the posting is going, because over the last year she has found a cause and interest on line as well. (Big Cat Rescue in Tampa, FL) As usual, you are level headed about your approach to the upcoming season. Price would be a huge loss if ge is out the whole season but I see him coming back in May and being that extra kick that will not only lift the Red Sox higher but terrify the rest of the league. There are some opponents who are snickering at the Sox bad luck after landing Sale, but I don't see it that way. With the delightful discovery/recovery of Kyle Kendrick adding depth to the healthy Wright and recovering Pomeranz I think the rotation looks startlingly strong. Olmos in the pen has also been a nice development. I may even take back my hoodoo curse on Panda!
  9. 1. And Farrell played all sorts of odd lineups in the last few games ... in no way was he trying to win at all costs. 2. As a matter of fact, the team was taking the time to line up the starting pitching ... (so I'm agreeing with you). 3. All weather, all terrain, all situations! Best when you can hit or pitch, or hit and pitch! The game is never over with the Red Sox.
  10. Heh, I like the thought! But O's losing is the better moment for now.
  11. I am so happy Buck will be living in Oriole infamy due to Incy's walk off last night!!!!
  12. Shheeeeees ..... your thread got lost .... The end of Happy Smiley-Beni almost before it got started! I take a couple days off to rebuild my laptop and HSB disappeared!
  13. Hehehe .... well done, sherrif! Well done! I lift a cup of apple cider to Benny! And this season, the elimination of the Yanquis is as sweet if not sweeter than any or most, since - ahem, mentioning the obvious, - the Sox are ALE division winners! Even the pleasure that Bomber fans may have had in the sweep last night came on the heels of Farrell signing off on them and using Owens on the mound and several AAA or sub players in the line up. Taking Papi out of the line up so early was also a sign they didn't care one snot if we won or not. (I DO ... I always want to beat the EE.)
  14. I am all for redemption. I won't say second chances because Panda has had more than 2. But he has been recovering well ahead of schedule and might be reactivated if Hill, Shaw or someone similar gets injured. I am not thrilled by this possibility.
  15. I wear my Pedey camo shirt to work last night and how does Mr. Pedroia show his appreciation? Grand salami! Thank you, Mighty Might! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.......
  16. One more time, Big Papi makes the difference! His big fly yesterday was the difference, thanks to excellent pitching!
  17. Perfect presentation and most agreeable conclusion, Moon. I have been impressed with Porcello's demeanor while pitching. Cool as a cucumber. Face of a automaton, deals with a dagger. And he walks no one. Hardly. He doesn't have games where he gives up 5 hits and four walks. This is more than I imagined he could be. I thought he would rebound from last season but he's been money since last August.
  18. Throw away game yesterday ... HO just batting practice for big leaguers, when they get to hit. He walks lotsa guys.
  19. Much more satisfied with his last effort! I am more than happy to pass on kudos. If he is poised to give us that partial season that is close to outstanding, it couldn't come at a better time.
  20. Thirteen million dollars a year to poorly satisfy almost 5 innings ... how far down the line had Clay fallen from our possible #1
  21. Can anyone please tell me why one would leave a reliever in long enough to walk the bases full? By the second walk, shouldn't it be clear that the fella doesn't have his grits together that particular game?
  22. Our beach volleyball teams have been playing poorly, the men's vb team has been playing like Clay pitches ... I am sure that willis and farrell aren't at fault for that ... but they are in the way they are handling our pitching staff ...
  23. Oh, I wasn't clear ... get rid of Farrell. Please
  24. Two of my Yanqui friends at work are hoping Farrell gets an extension. He has helped make their "seller" team look like they already have turned the corner. I know the bats could be hitting better but NEVER go into a late inning with a 4-1 lead and leave a hapless hurler in for all those runs, then NEVER let the 2-1 lead go down the drain .... Pitchers have to pitch, BUT THEY DO NOT HAVE TO KEEP PITCHING UP SCORES FOR THE ENEMY. I must be too old ... this is just getting to me too much.
