it is hard as hell to hit a baseball. it's just one of those things that bug me....striking out looking. if you've got two strikes, you better swing the freakin' bat.
my thinking is fine. it's Breslow and Henry who are -or were- thinking irrationally. trading him for his actions or whatever is one thing, but trading him for someone else's trash is another.
not exactly. Henry has to pay, what, $25-30 million for Hicks. what a f***ing shitshow.
Betts, Sale and Devers for...
Wong, Downs, Verdugo, Hicks, Harrison, Bello, Tibbs and Grissom. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.
there are no good guys in this show. Devers was/is a lazy, selfish POS and Henry/Breslow showed his arrogance/idiocy when he got absolutely f***ed in the trade.
if so, then Cora is a worse manager than i thought. Raffy has been awful at third for years. Cora should have had him working out at 1B -at least in spring training- years ago.
as far as the trade....i'm not pissed he was traded. he was a selfish POS and i don't blame the Sox for trading him. however, they got absolutely f***ed in the trade. they got f***ed in the Mookie trade. they got f***ed in the Sale trade. they have literally traded 3 future hall of famers for a steaming pile of s***.
i won't disagree with that. i wish he was used more. i hate seeing Cora burn him for 4 pitches and then bitch about how he doesn't have anyone available in the pen the next day.
furthemore, i just said that Cora "finally" used him for more than 1 inning and Moon said "finally" wasn't an apt description. he then pointed out that he had only been used for more than 1 inning in 3 of his last 12 appearances, thereby proving my point.
