Does this mean you won’t be doing your daily wild card standing updates anymore like you were doing during the FANTASY month of June? Hilarious! I guess there isn’t any sense in watching a mess like this anymore.
-
Slop in the morning. Slop in the afternoon, slop in the evening, and slop 24 hours a day. The gift that keeps on giving.
-
You have made the same argument many times over, and is as weak as the Red Sox offer to Bogey, which was so weak it didn’t warrant a counter offer, so I’ll agree with you the Red Sox were wrong on this one.
-
Never said it was, but the team was not injury riddled then, so I’d say it was more on Cora. The lowball offers before the season started to Raffy, and Bogey was on Bloom.
-
Plenty of injuries there were, but this team came out of the gate lifeless, and listless.
-
You keep on spewing the same old crap. Bogey has a no trade, and wasn’t going anywhere from sources I have heard from, so the Sox don’t have any other option, but to let Bogey walk, so you can keep on saying let Bogey walk for a comp pick all you want, and add to the 100 other times you’ve already said it, but that’s the way it has to be.
-
I think most everyone knows that JH has the checkbook, but Bloom is the one who made the actual trade. Some posters on here think Bloom is Boy Wonder from the day he arrived in Boston, but others think Bloom is Boy Blunder, and I don’t think either side is going to change their mind.
-
No the important thing to remember is that dgalehouse was to me right in what he said much to the chagrin of others.
-
As the guy who traded Mookie, and didn’t do well in doing so.
-
Patting Bloom on the back was about the Grades Bloom got back from some of the publications, which was mostly D’s, and just plain saying the Sox were losers in the deal, because to some on here getting a D was not a failing grade. Small semantics. Bottom line a HOF was traded, which he hasn’t been replaced yet, and may take years to do so.
-
I agree with you that Theo, or DD wouldn’t have worked for this JH, but Bloom did, and he knew what he was in for like trading Mookie that you pat Bloom on the back for for getting D’s, or just saying the Sox were losers in the trade. Just because the Sox farm boys are rated higher now Does Not guarantee success in the future. If the Casases, or Mayers don’t turn out like they have already been dubbed then good luck with higher rankings. The Sox to me were good enough before Bloom got hired, and as of right now I don’t think you can say they are better. More prospects/suspects, or not.
-
Very well said, and 100% correct. You are dead on about the PBA, but the big question is why, why, why Nancy Kerrigan. You are right that the Ave fan are not that deep, and I believe could give a rats ass about analytics, or know, or care who is doing what in Salem, or Greenville. What they do care about is who’s on first, and for the last two years not very much at all, and that is on on Bloom. I have said from when Bloom got hired he was in over his head, and I still feel that way.
-
I never said this particular instance had anything to do with me, but I was commenting on here just like everyone else does.
-
Trying to start something? I’m not the one who stared something in the first place, but glad you are sticking up for your buddy. I don’t believe you made the same comment when something was started in the ist place. Very interesting.
-
Way to modest for you, and as the saying goes if the glove fits you must convict, and in your case a perfect fit.
-
Has the Red Sox won 4 championships since you remember 2004 doing it the way you are suggesting? Not only no, but hell no!
-
Do you think that JH of today would have the same budget as the JH of when he first arrived in Boston? I don’t, and I don’t think it has anything to do with his time.
-
Nick Yorke? He’s taking a big step back, and hasn’t played much lately. He’s not even ready for AA.
-
But he can run fast. Just not fast enough after he gets a bad jump on a ball. Of course that’s when he sees the ball.
-
Hilarious that you think you would have to try. Like Buck Owens used to say. All you have to do is Act Naturally.
-
Well said, and I have mentioned before that JH has more interest now than what he had when he first bought the Red Sox. What happens in the next 6-12 months starting in the next few days will tell how JH will operate the Red Sox from here on out.
-
Henry has been a great owner, and the 4 championships attest to that. I think the criticism now for some comes from the notion that JH now is not the same JH as when he first got here. I think that the old JH would have had the Bogey, and Raffy contract situations all worked out by now, and it’s a question if Mookie would have been traded, or not. Of course the salary structure has gone up 10 fold from when JH first arrived in Boston, which does make a big difference.
-
There were some on here who said he couldn’t do it again, and while a bargain at $3M would not be a bargain at $6-7M, or worth it. Not to mention he was not a good RF, so the Sox went out, and traded for a excellent RF, but can’t hit, and paid more money to do so.that the Red Sox would have never given him the contract in the first place to stay in Boston is yes wait for it a head scratcher.

I love a good opener. -
Mass must of made an impression on JH the day He showed up at the F&M studio, and went on the air with them. Just took a while for the offer to be made.
