  1. You still don’t get the point. The fact is the Red Sox didn’t, and wasn’t going to do what you suggested. Why is that so hard to comprehend? If it makes you feel better, and obviously it does to suggest things that won’t happen, and the fact is it didn’t happen then key away. The LBJ trade was put in, because that’s something that shouldn’t have happened, but did happen, and you was all for it. You keep being hung up on if the Red Sox should have done what you suggested. My point was, and is they were never going to. I could have suggested the Red Sox do what the Dodgers did, and sign the Big O, and the Yam Man, but I knew they were never going to, so I didn’t. To each it’s own.
  2. Win some. Lose some. Win some. The fans go from giddy to s***** either way in a short period of time, and it will probably be that way all year long.
  3. The RAF Man is playing SS today, so we’ll see how it goes. Raffy back in the lineup too.
  4. So by saying it won’t happen holding it against him?Nothing twisted at all. Yes we all get things wrong, but NOBODY more than you.
  5. That’s never been my point. The point is, and has been all along that the Red Sox, didn’t, and won’t do any of your suggestions, and has been all along. It’s just as simple as that. Would Chapman be a better 3B than Raffy? Yes. but the Red Sox were NEVER going to spend money to sign him, nor was all the changes that would have to be made going to happen either. We’ve already went through all this before when you suggested Chapman. IT DIDN’T happen.🙈🤭
  6. Bobby D can’t hit a lick, but at least he’s making the routine plays at 3B, which I’ll take at this point.
  7. Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain. The NOT so great Oz has spoken.
  8. Don’t pay any attention to the man behind the curtain who isn’t anything like he thinks he his.🙈🤭🤮!
  9. So by me pointing out of all the bandwagons you’ve jumped on the past few years that didn’t happen, shouldn’t have happened, or won’t happen led you to the conclusion that I’m on board with the team coming in last?? Well if that’s the case then the people who are, or have been running the Red Sox who haven’t made of any of your suggestions except for your favorite JBJ trade that was a cluster in itself must feel the same way, so your criticism of me is also a criticism of them. Conspiracy theories you are great at, but there should be a statute of limitations on many things you can get wrong.
  10. Standard procedure for him. He analyzes every letter of every word, and then over analyzes, and thinks the bigger of a response is better right, or wrong.
  11. Last year it was the Gallup Express, and earlier it was the Chapman Express, and he loved the JBJ trade bringing him back to Boston too. Now it’s the O’Neill Express. All that didn’t happen, or shouldn’t have happened, or won’t happen.
  12. Right they signed the RAF Man to a $50M+ ext to be a backup.🙈🤭
  13. Exactly, and this guy has only had ONE season that he has played 100 games. Extend?🤭🙈🤮
  14. Some of the guys on the Sox like NOshida, and Abreu made their stats look better yesterday against a bad pitcher, but I guess he wasn’t bad enough, because Bobby D didn’t get a hit, and now is 0-16 with 10 K’s. At least he’s making the routine plays at 3B though.
  15. Raffy out of the lineup again today. If his shoulder has been bothering him since ST it’s probably something serious enough that a few days off here, and there isn’t going to fix.
  16. Raf Man is a work in progress, and maybe needed more at bats in Worcester. It took Casas a while to get going last year, so time will tell on the RAF Man. I would keep him in CF if that’s the primary position he is destined to play. Yes he made some good plays out there like the good running catch at the end of the game out West, and a good diving catch, and a catch that he jumped up thinking he was up against the wall, but wasn’t.i heard his name in the same breath as JBJ on here, but I don’t think he’s as good right now. I’ve seen Reggie Smith make some great catches, and throws, and Lynne some great catches too. I know some want him to be that good, but pump those brakes on his greatness right now. He’s good in CF, but not great yet, and his bat especially has a long way to go, so keep him in CF. The fact that the Red Sox don’t have a good experienced backup IF who can make the routine plays around the bag was a bad plan to start with. Counting on Story Land to play 140 was not a good plan, and planning on him to take JT’s spot in the middle of the order was not a sound plan either. Blame it on whomever you want, and there is probably plenty of blame to go around.
  17. Integrity, and reputation of the franchise? The zRed Sox have been an embarrassment all around MLB for a few years now. Look at all the candidates that was beating down Sam’s door for an opportunity for the job that Bloom left behind, or should I say lack of candidates. EMBARRASSING.🙈🤭
  18. And now he’s back. Recycling by Brez.
  19. Bobby D is back! Don’t know if it’s for Raffy, or Romy yet.
  20. Did he take Duvall’s spot, or JT’s? It can’t be both.🙈🤭
  21. I would say the good old eye test has shown you more the last 3 nights then you need to know than all the analytics you can come up with. Even the highlights, or should I say lowlights that have been shown 100 times over was more than enough. Seeing is believing.
  22. Where’s Yu Chang. At least he could field, and none of these other guys are hitting much of anything anyway.
