seriously, sweeney better be diving out of the box after the first pitch to him in the next at bat.

Seriously, why do the sox keep pitching to sweeney. 1 man on, two men on, tying run, winning run, I don't care. PLUNK him. He is the only proven ML threat in that whole lineup. If Berroa or Stairs beat you, so be it. Please never let him beat us again. I'm so sick of his ass hitting like .800 vs. the Sox in the past several years.

how the f*** do you not plunk sweeney every time he's in the box. He is the only major league threat in that lineup.

I grew to accept Wills, but never liked him. His Cubs-bashing was embarrassing, and his schlocky "gonna suck down a miller lite before hopping in my dodge ______ from South Oak Dodge" was horrible too. Anybody is better, but Dolgin ain't good, that's for sure.

I'm not looking for a fight. I just didn't appreciate someone saying I was essentially the worst thread maker in history without adding anything in terms of content to the discussion. Moving on...

You regulars are seriously more anal about thread space, organization and posting style than possibly any other bulletin board in the history of the universe. I understand many of you have a certain way of doing things. When I have a thought, sometimes I put up a new thread before sifting through every single post in every thread on the first page. To me, a thread is no big deal. It's just a thread. If people don't like it, I expect em to ignore it. To some of you, it seems a new thread must be of a certain standard to be worthy of being in this forum. To my way of thinking, that's just not what boarding is about. On any topic.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 10:22 AM) You are probably the worst thread maker in the history of the world.... seriously, what the hell is your problem.

Bring on Oakland. Bring on WHOEVER. Sorry folks, but just winning a playoff series might cut it for some of you, but it doesn't cut it with me. I want a WS appearance, at the very least. This team might be able to do it. It might not. But I wanna know. I wanna know if this team is for real. Bring on whoever is the toughest. Bring em all on. I don't want to pussyfoot around a bad matchup. If we can't beat Oakland, we don't deserve to go the WS.

258,581 for the seven game homestand. Average of 36,940. That is just in-f***ing-sane Were all the boston games officially sellouts? The real question is, do you think they can come back and face Toronto and Seattle and draw 33,000+ a night for those two series, or does the attendance drop back down to the mid 20s or even lower?

I like ozzie's new policy of "you walk a guy as a reliever, you're gone"

I've supported this guy staunchly for 4 years and my support is severely wavering with every day he continues to post a .240something average

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 22, 2005 -> 03:01 PM) That's nice. I know, isn't it?

compare the career avgs. compare the homers/season Joe Crede = Jose Valentin or at least approximates him

Clearly, he is career .2sucky average but enough pop to warrant an ML contract luckily for him he can play defense at least on most nights I'm just about done with this guy

I was half-listening, but I think ESPN 1000 just said that Frank was gonna take it day-to-day

QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 04:19 PM) There's also the possibility that Trammel might have gone to another reliever sooner instead of letting "the Farns" stay out there. Exactly.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 04:11 PM) He had no control. Nice try. I don't buy revisionism. It sucks. Every situation would've been different, including the way the pitches were called and how the defense was set for each batter.

Dingman is not a good name for a pitcher

QUOTE(qwerty @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 04:10 PM) Would their closer farnsworth not be in? would he have pitched differently with a 2 run lead? absolutely.

you guys are the ones who are uneffing real. you really think this would be the same pitched bottom of the ninth with just a two run lead? come on you revisionists

have a little faith guys

nice, let's get some runs

QUOTE(Y2HH @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 01:56 PM) All of you stop crying. We have the best record still. I heard this team called the Seattle Mariners had a similar chant in 2001...maybe you can tell me how they hit in the postseason

QUOTE(BDavisFutureHOF @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 11:50 AM) Frank hit the ball hard as hell last night -- just came up a few feet short and left a few times. It just looks like he swinging for the fences 3/4 times he's up every night
