August 25, 201411 yr QUOTE (JoshPR @ Aug 24, 2014 -> 09:17 AM) Go to MLB.com and listen to the video from beckham. I kinda feel he knocks the sox a bit. Well Gordon were excited your gone.... He comes across kind of like a young George W. Bush in that vid. This is the opposite of a compliment.
August 25, 201411 yr He had five years to figure out how to be good. NOBODY gets that long a look with a single organization. There can be no excuses.
August 25, 201411 yr I really thought he'd eventually figure it out. Now I'm just angry that we stuck with him so long.
August 25, 201411 yr QUOTE (JoshPR @ Aug 24, 2014 -> 04:44 PM) In part your right, but I think he could have worded it a Lil different. Next one gone Viciedo After his disastrous and lazy play in LF yesterday (behind our best pitcher, no less), I don't see how Hahn can justify throwing him back out there next season. f*** potential. Guy's a loser.
August 25, 201411 yr both Viciedo and De Aza made costly errors in left against the yankees that pretty much handed the game to NY

August 25, 201411 yr QUOTE (hi8is @ Aug 25, 2014 -> 11:44 AM) 0 for 7 with 9 runners left on base and 2 strike outs since joining LA. it takes time to shed baggage.

August 26, 201411 yr Por little Gordey didn't play yesterday... Wahhhh! I do hope he turns it around but there is a sadistic part of me that desperately wants to see him never reach base again.
August 26, 201411 yr I don't wish anything bad for Gordy since he has fulfilled the only wish I had which was to go away. At least now he will continue to suck under the sunny California sun, til the Halos release him. Are the Schaumburg Boomers looking for an infielder?
August 26, 201411 yr The great joy people take seeing a person they don't even know struggling is actually pretty sad.
August 26, 201411 yr QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 26, 2014 -> 10:28 AM) The great joy people take seeing a person they don't even know struggling is actually pretty sad. Yeah, it's unfortunate seeing people say that. I always liked Beckham and wanted him to succeed, but it just wasn't meant to be for the Sox. Another guy that comes to mind when thinking about this is Uribe too. He had turned into a pretty terrible hitter by the end of his Sox career and he's gone on to have a really nice career.
August 26, 201411 yr QUOTE (StRoostifer @ Aug 26, 2014 -> 10:17 AM) Are the Schaumburg Boomers looking for an infielder? That league has an age limit. Believe its 27

August 26, 201411 yr Gordons career will go the same way as the guy he pretty much replaced in Anaheim, John McDonald. I know people will point out that fangraphs says Beckham isn't a great fielder, but comparing the 2 he's not much worse than McDonald has been the past few years. McDonald has played in the bigs 16 years and is a career .233/.273/.322 hitter.
August 26, 201411 yr QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 26, 2014 -> 04:28 PM) The great joy people take seeing a person they don't even know struggling is actually pretty sad. I couldn't agree more. It won't be long and they will have another target or two
August 26, 201411 yr QUOTE (hi8is @ Aug 26, 2014 -> 12:03 PM) Expectation is the mother of resentment - it's a cliche for a reason I watched him in his first spring training he was outstanding. I wonder how he slipped to expendable from the guaranteed starter.

August 26, 201411 yr QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 26, 2014 -> 10:28 AM) The great joy people take seeing a person they don't even know struggling is actually pretty sad. And it's not even like he was a bad teammate, or bad with the media, or with the fans. He was very likeable. I am not sure why anyone would wish him to suck in LA, other than not wanting to regret letting him leave. I hope Gordon does great in LA.
August 26, 201411 yr QUOTE (hi8is @ Aug 26, 2014 -> 06:30 PM) Same experience here - he was exciting to see live then I think I was at Beckham's first major league hit? I write on the back of all my game tickets if something memorable happens, so I'll have to check that.

Thumbs up man.
