    I’ll agree that Downs playing 3B is bizzare, but it’s not like Cora hasn’t done what you call bizzare moves before.
  2. Old Red
    It’s bizarre that Downs was even called up, because it certainly wasn’t earned. Fitzy, or Sanchez would have been better call ups.
  3. Old Red
    I always wait to the lineup is posted, and the Red Sox are usually behind other teams in doing that. Kind of early today though.
  4. Old Red
    The lineup I saw had Bogey at SS, and Downs at 3B. Vaz at C, and Bobby D at 1B.

    The word wrong has meaning too, and that describes you to a T. Mr Wrong Mr Wrong they’re playing your song. How did the Bogey diagnosis come about, and how could you be so wrong? Hang up on Betts, and Kike all you want, but round, and round the turntable goes, and Mr Wrong Mr Wrong they keep playing your song, but I’m turning it off, so over, and out.

    Going off on a tangent over the word but. Mr Wrong Mr. Wrong they’re playing your song. Aren’t you the one who diagnosed Bogey before the season started saying he would be playing under much mental strain playing alongside Story, because Bogey knows Story is a better SS than he is. How has that diagnosis panned out? Not only has Bogey played a better SS this year I would say hitting in the 330’s is a pretty good year outside of having more RBI. I don’t have to compliment Kike much to your chagrin, but I’m not downing him either like you coming up with your Shmuck comments. Mr. Wrong Mr. Wrong they’re playing your song. Trying to analyze every word like but, or if is just over the top, and petty at the least.

    Especially when some like to run off with things when they don’t even know what they are running with.
  8. Old Red
    Don’t you have to be on here?

    Now when I called Kike a utility player, which some on here took it to an extreme, and thought it was something bad, and even mentioning the word shmuck is just way over the top, and only on here would you see such things. I call Kike a utility player for all the different positions he plays, and nothing to do with how many games he played. He played I believe all defensive positions for the Dodgers except catcher, so even if Kike had played all 162 games I would still call him a utility player if he was a 5th IF/ 4TH OF, and played all the different positions. One year Kike played 140 games, but had less than 300 AB I didn’t know JD Drew, and Ellsbury played different positions like Kike does so I don’t see how comparing them made much sense to me. Some just like to see something bad even if there isn’t anything bad to see, and this was a classic example. I saw lots of Kike trade talk on a game thread, but that is something I wouldn’t do unless things fall apart from where the team is now. Duran hasn’t established enough for me yet in his small sample size to justify trading Kike, who may turn out useful yet again.

    Story Land for T H R E E!

    Even though Houck plays on a team his first priority is family, and himself. No doubt it would be better for the Sox if Houck could go to Toronto, but he can’t, and that’s the way it is.
  12. Old Red
    That’s Mr. Wrong for you.
  13. Old Red
    Long ways to go before the ALCS, and who knows if Houck will still be the closer by then, or how about Sale not being able to pitch either. I wouldn’t think some teammates would be to happy if it comes down to this.

    Luckily Moon’s opinions don’t cary any weight in any jurisdictions.
  15. Old Red
    One of Moon’s favorite words disdain. Moon I don’t have any disdain for you let alone any Red Sox player, or Minor League player for that matter, but even if I did there would be NOTHING wrong with that, because this is a site that welcomes any, and all opinions especially you. Just, because I don’t rate Kike as highly as you do, or think he was the best defensive Red Sox CF for one season like you do you think I don’t like him. You over analyze every time, and it doesn’t matter how many times you get it wrong you keep on doing it.I said I wouldn’t hire Cora back, and you took it from there, and said I hated Cora. You’ve been mister wrong way many more times than being Mister right, so disdain away all you want, but no crime committed.

    The Tigers aren’t the same hitting team the Cardinals are.
  17. Old Red
    Must not have read the scouting report.
  18. Old Red
    Hitting tonight should boost Duran’s confidence.
  19. Old Red
    Well said.
  20. Old Red
    Not with 4 guys batting under 200?
  21. Old Red
    Go Duran! A leadoff man who can get on base, and run.
  22. Old Red
    It’s good to see a Sox leadoff man to get on base, and do that.
  23. Old Red
    Shmuck, and Disdain you guys are quite the couple who just run off with things if it doesn’t fit your opinion, so I don’t give a damm if you think you can sense anything. He never had a full time position, so you call it one way, and I’ll call it another, and like I said anything more than hitting 240 is a plus. Utility player has bad connotations? that deserves more than a OMG.
  24. Old Red
    Small ball, and a run. Love it.
  25. Old Red
    What dictionary outside of yours does it say utility man is a shmuck? Yes Kike played lots of games with the Dodgers, but never had a full time position. Like I said anything more than a 240 Ave is a plus, so go to WAR all you want, but I won’t agree with you that Kike is any kind of shmuck.
