  1. I would have liked to have seen a rematch with Cincinnati though, because I think ND is better now then when the ist time they played.
  2. Agreed about the platoon, but is a platoon as important as it used to be? Starters don’t go as many innings anymore, and with openers happening more often the left/right thing just don’t seem as important. Suzuki is an interesting option, but if the Yankees are also interested I don’t see the Sox winning that bidding war.
  3. ND did not make it, and even though they finished at 11-1 i don’t think they were as good as their record indicated. If they would have played the same schedule in previous years as they did this year it would have been a tougher schedule, but a number of the teams were down this year like Wisconsin., and even though they got better as the season went along after they got their O Line straightened out, and better QB play I don’t think would have been able to match up with Bama, Georgia, or even the Ohio States of the world. Now they have a new coach who is young, and with no HC experience, which to me is a recipe for disaster. Administration was afraid ND would lose players, and coaches, so they jumped to quick. Next year they have a real tough schedule opening up at Ohio State, so even if Kelly would have stayed I don’t think they would have as good a record as in years past.
  4. Trade rejected by JH, and Bogey. Bogey is not going anywhere.
  5. At least Clemson, and Ohio State aren’t in the top 4 this year.
  6. Not much of a posse. No authority, or jurisdiction at all, but wears the posse label with honor, and distinction. The funny part is they fancy themselves like the Cartwrights, but are more like Barney Fife with Gomer, and Goober as the deputies. They just think they are mean. I don’t think they bite.
  7. NO! Big John said no.
  8. Eovaldi was 26 when he had his last TJ, and Pax was 32 quite a big difference. I don’t think Sale is as good at 32 as he was at 26 TJ, or not.
  9. I don’t think at this point they are counting on Duran as being a starter, but if they don’t sign anyone else, and if he has a good spring training whenever that is that could change.
  10. Having a different opinion on Cora being the best manager the Red Sox ever had, or having a different opinion being the best CF the Red Sox ever had is not jumping down your throat, but you took it that way. I keep saying that the opinions on here are just a small sample of what is out there in Red Sox nation. Just listening to Felger, and Mas they were trashing the Bradley deal, and so were the callers. Like I said before I listen, and watch shows from Maine to Boston, and read papers from Maine to Boston, and not to mention MLB, and there lots of opinions I agree with, and some I don’t just like on here. I’ve been a Red Sox fan for 60+ years, and I form my own opinions on what I see. Just like with all the analytics thrown out there you can’t beat the eye test. That is better then all the analytics in the world, so if I don’t like something Cora does, or Bloom does I’m going to say it. It doesn’t mean I don’t like them, or don’t like the Red Sox.
  11. I like a good back, and fourth, but I don’t get into name calling. I’ve said before that I know I’m in the minority on some of my opinions like when I said that I would not have rehired Cora, because of his cheating, but then someone took it from there, and said I didn’t like Cora, which was not true, but they went with it. It wouldn’t have mattered if it would have been Johnny Pesky I would have said the same thing, and I loved Johnny Pesky. Bottom line is an opinion is just that, and both sides can be right, and both sides can be wrong, but I’m going to voice it anyway even if I’m only 1 in 100 that thinks that way.
  12. I’ve heard everything from this side, but why did Milwaukee make the trade? Did they want Renfroe that bad based on last year’s production, and threw in 2 prospects, or did they just want to get out of that bad JBJ contract that they threw in 2 prospects, and the Red Sox took them off the hook?
  13. Everything that was in the post that you wanted the names named.
  14. Ok, so you should know what it’s like, and I not only admitted it, but I apologized for it.
  15. There goes the full eclipse again. I admitted I read your comment to quickly, and just assumed, but of course you have never done that.
  16. You still haven’t answered the question if everything was true, or not, and neither has anyone else.
  17. Moon I apologize for reading that wrong. There is your Xmas present.
  18. Now I’m being called a troll, because I have different opinions from the self proclaimed posse, so circle the wagons all you want.
  19. I’m asking if everything in the post that bothered you so much is true? It’s not that hard.
  20. If you are going to do something you might as well be good at it.
  21. Like I said before I’m not into name calling. I think it’s hilarious, but childish, but I will go tit for tat if the circumstance warrants it.
  22. Only on here would that be justified.
