Old Red

I was only talking about our pitching when I mentioned the eye test. You have to go by some kind of stats when you are talking about what the other teams are doing when they are not playing against the Sox.

I think Casas does better when he swings at the first good pitch, and looks like he wants to hit instead of taking too many pitches, and looking like he’d rather take a walk. He’s taken a lot of called third strikes.

So of course to you it doesn’t come down to the one poster being realistic, and the one poster who’s being optimistic doesn’t like it, which is the case in this instance, and facts bear that out. Like you are objective in all of this.

This was all about living in the moment that I was doing, but Moon didn’t want to. I don’t look at things as all Red, which works for me just like the eye test that works for me. If I’m watching a Red Sox game, and a Red Sox pitcher, or batter gets a bad call against them then I’ll complain, but if the same thing happens to the opposing team I’ll complain too. Like all the complaints about the ball girl that cost the Red Sox some runs, which she did, but I saw the whole picture that Casas who hit the ball shouldn’t have got up in the first place, because Turner should have been called out on strikes earlier in the inning. I’ll go with the old cranks thing, but if I have to agree with Moon to be right I don’t want to be right.

You were the one who said to live in the moment, so that’s all I’m doing, but in the moment at the moment is not a very good time. To go from a 8 game winning streak to a 1-6 skid, and go back into last place in the Div, and out of a wildcard is where things are at on this day, and time, and some just don’t want to face those cold hard facts. Maybe we should all get together with Tom Werner, and form a circle, and hold hands and he can lead us in the Lets go Red Sox chant. Maybe everyone would feel better.

You stopped posing like you did last year, because you are only a front runner, and bailed at the first sign of trouble. I was told to live in the moment when the Sox were on their winning streak, and I thought that’s what we were supposed to do, but I guess it was wrong that it meant to live in the moment only when things were going good. I got it now.

Pivetta is due a good game, so hopefully it’s tonight. Someone, anyone has to be a stopper. Rotation, or the pen it doesn’t matter.

The eye test tells you different, or at least it should.

At the time yes, but what about now?Where is the posting now? Live in the moment.

Just living in the moment, and at the moment, which is where this all started. In the moment, and at the moment the Red Sox are a last place in the Div team, and out of the wildcard. Also they on on a 1-6 run. Those are the Cold Hard Facts. Now what you do with those Cold Hard Facts are up to you, and shallow, or not doesn’t change that.

Post #8885 you didn’t finish the whole post did you? It said but you, and others do, so that’s why I would continue the updates to keep everyone informed, which is what you told Dale the other day.

Wha, wha wha! BLUE MOON!

Like I tried to explain before is that just because a team has a winning record does not necessarily mean they are a good team, and the Red Sox May be one of those teams, and just because a team has a losing record does not mean they are a bad team like the Cardinals.

No baiting involved. It’s just so shallow to be a fan, and can only live in the moment when things are going good. Facts are facts, which are indisputable at the moment that the Red Sox are on a 1-6 stretch, and in last place in the Div, and out of the wildcard. Even Tom Caron knows, and admits that. The JINX may have something to do with that.

Obviously there is nothing wrong with what I posted today, or you would have come out with it. Just living in the moment, which I was told to do. What’s funny is how shallow some are that can only live in the moment when things are going good, but can’t when they are not. Kind of like posting the standings when things are only going good,but don’t worry I’ll pick up the slack even though I don’t care about the scoreboard, or the standings this early in the season, but you said you, and others do, so I want to keep Everyone informed. How about a little Tom Werner chant? Let’s go Red Sox!

Middle, and Wake are bad too?

I agree, but the only time Whitlock has been pretty much healthy is when he’s been strictly pen.

Tell me what isn’t true in all of this? I’m I call balls, and strikes right down the middle no matter who it benefits. It’s pretty bad that Tom Caron has to do your standing updates for you.

I can’t see Bello getting sent down now.

Cora has a revolving door on favorite pitchers. Agree on Kike who I said at the time of his resigning that the Red Sox could have done better with that $10M.

Agree 100%, and I have always said Whitlock too.

Things might be getting better, because Houck is looking for answers on why he can’t get by 5 innings. Of course he’s been looking since pitching for the Sox.

Oh no! Cora’s favorite pitcher Bernardino back to Worcester.

My whole story is a lot closer to the whole truth than yours. Let’s start with not to long ago the Red Sox were going through a nice 8 game winning streak, but since then the team is on a not so nice 1-6 streak, and going the other way in the standings. It’s amazing that you were giving updates on the standings, but that has seemed to stop just like last year you bailed when things started to go bad. Even Tom Caron posted yesterday the Red Sox were starting the week in last place in the Div, and out of the wildcard, and that has gotten worse since last night. Now they are 1.5 games behind in last place in the Div, and the same games back of being in the wildcard. I think also you were touting having the 4th best record overall, and now there are 12 teams ahead of them. I don’t hear all the silly chirping going on either like Mookie who, or I don’t hear any we want DD back, or the Mookie trade looks better now, or if Yoshida/GOshida/NOshida is worth the $100M+. So to sum it all up in the moment, and at the moment the Red Sox are a last place in the Div team, and out of a wildcard spot with a tough road trip looming. Hopefully they can get their winning ways back, but it doesn’t look so good now as it did a week before. Gee if that damm ballgirl hadn’t of touched that ball maybe things wouldn’t have gotten so bad. I’m sure my story won’t jive with yours, but then again it never does.

Looks like a Little League team out there now!
