  1. Even if we traded with the Ass Tros, our front office would end up with a bag of magic beans anyway.
  2. You're absolutely right. I also have some prime real estate for sale in the everglades. Would you be interested?
  3. I hope Pedro figures out defensive replacements and pinch runners must be used sparingly when your lineup already has 4 guys hitting under .200.
  4. It's hard to watch young players struggle. It's also common. They will improve. the 10 game losing streak happened because our regulars played badly.
  5. I've also seen Elvis and Hanser play. 23 year olds improve with experience. Elvis and Hanser won't.
  6. 1st guy I'd call up is Lenyn Sosa. Sox f@#$ed up by bringing Hanser back instead of just releasing him.
  7. bringing in guys for defense works better when your bullpen doesn't suck. now we've got a sunday lineup going into extras. really glad to see Hanser back. what a joke.
  8. does this web site have a hall of fame? jeez, we gotta induct Berto tonite!!!!! the passion and anger in his voice reminds me of myself after 5 beers.
  9. funniest part is that the article is from 5 years ago. Not one damn thing has changed
  10. four game sweep by the Ray's this weekend would be the bottom. I fully suspect it will happen.
  11. actually, I'd never heard that before. I've always said he was fast for a big man though. I would bet he's faster to first base than TA. Tim is the slowest guy out of the batters box on the team. Maybe even the whole league.
  12. Does JR know a fellow owner or any one else not named TLR, whose opinion he trusts? If he doesn't, then we're stuck with what we've got. He could get rid of KW and RH, but the only person left would be Getz. Would that be an improvement? No one really knows. I suppose he couldn't do worse.
  13. Saw some folks today really slamming Sosa. Hang in there. He's hit at every level. He's 23. when Robin Ventura was 23, he had a slugging average of .318. The next year he broke out and became a star. Also try to remember the Sox's alternatives. Elvis is bad and he'll; get worse. Romy is 4 years older than Sosa. This kid has had 66 at bats in the majors, and has been in two of the worst clubhouses in I can remember. If we trade him and then he starts to hit, we'll just be doing what we always do. I don't want a repeat of the Marcus Semien fiasco.
  14. The post title never really makes it clear which Twins series they were writing about.
  15. He was very patient in college. Lack of playing time from injuries took it away. He'll get it back with more playing time
  16. Just a question. Can plate discipline be taught? I wonder if good teams draft it, or can it be learned?
  17. 30+ years ago I read my first "baseball prospectus" by Bill James. It was then I knew we were fucked.
  18. It's kinda weird, but in Vegas this would probably be an even money bet.
  19. Kepp was the epitome of "buy high,sell low".
  20. probably burger was the best pick. lower spot in draft than vaughn. no one can predict injury.
  21. sounds about right. we suck.
