Seeing as you're right in Sox nation, who do you think are worse: MFY fans or Sox fans?

They both suck, but Yankee fans have 27 championships to back them up...

Still doesn't make that guy any less of a tool though...

What was done about those things? Nothing. People who don't follow horse racing and only follow the triple crown went nuts over Barabaro, every day horses died. America's new moral compass Tony Dungy and Rodney Harrison a head hunter himself said they think suspensions should be in order for dirty hits. I remeber guys like Chuck Cecil and Andre "Dirty" Waters in the early 90's playing dirty and it takes until 2010 to do something serious about it. My point is in life thing are very rarely nipped in the bud or taken care of before they get out of hand.

Do you think that because these things were not getting media attention beforehand they are unworthy of discussion or change now?

I'll never wish injury on any player.

But I am really not upset right now. Far, far, far from it. Poor Horseface McGee has to be helped off the field and I can't wipe the smile off my face.

I will. :laughlol:

That's what makes them worse to me. At least real Sox fans have some level of humility after what they have been through

ESPN has already interviewed Jeffrey Maier about this incident. And he think it's hilarious! :mad::angryfire:

I love how he says "Red Sox Country".

I have an idea, you little punkass...how about you move down here and get a job teaching and coaching basketball in Orioles Country and see how long you last?

Here in Hartford, Im right in the middle of the two markets. Yankees fans have always been horrible, but ever since 2004, Red Sox fans have become a million times worse.

And it's not even close.

WOO HOOOOOOO!!! Molina makes the TBS crew look prophetic!

A majority of the population lives in the east. 8:00 p.m. WS games are still too late, as they won't end until 11 at the earliest, and not many kids are going to be allowed to stay up that late. Also, Saturday isn't a school day, so it's not that big of a deal that it starts at 7.

And the games start at 457 PM in the West Coast. Many people aren't be home from work. You have to show the games when you can get the most viewers. The NBA Finals start after 9 PM and how many people complain about that.

I was 8 years old in 1983. I moaned and groaned about having to go to bed when the Orioles played night games in the playoffs. I was a huge fan it didn't stop me from liking the sport.

I didn't say that. I am pointing out the fact that in all aspects of life including sports things don't happen overnight, right or wrong.

      Elias unwilling to spend money despite Rubenstein giving him the green light?

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      Oy, in my opinion, I could care less about 2030 and beyond. Right now Elias needs to be focused on 2025-2027. Does that mean he ignores longterm health, of course not, but you don't make moves this offseason worrying about 2030 and beyond.  If Elias doesn't get a World Series win within the next 3-4 seasons, he ultimately failed because that absolutely should be the goal of every team.  Elias did a great job building a nucleus of talent and rebuilding an organization top to bottom that has enabled this team to make the playoffs two years in a tow and win 90+ games.  Now the expectation is winning 90+ games and winning in the playoffs.

      He had TJ surgery in early June.  It is a 12-18 month recovery. Let’s say best case is that he is back pitching in the majors in June.  So he can get what, 18-22 starts in a best case scenario outcome?  So if everything goes perfectly, he would have a chance if he wins 70+% of his starts. Besides the fact that it is not normal to win at that high of a rate, it’s also not likely everything is going to go perfectly for a player who, even before having his first surgery, wasn’t a durable guy.  And this is before we talk about the lack of innings and starts  the last several years and how he could break down as the season gets well into the second half. So yea, if you are setting the O/U at 14.5 starts for Means in 2025, it would be extremely foolish to take the over and if you want to take the over, please let me know because I would love to win some money.

      Luis Castillo for Mountcastle?

      By Pickles · Posted

      The bolded is dependent upon thinking that Homeruns are the total of a player's contribution. It certainly doesn't square with reality, however.

      Why not sign Means, Scherzer, etc.

      Agreed.  I do think Elias wants Burnes back.  And of course we're not the only team interested.  Burnes will push the 'acceptable' years limit in the projections for sure!   Will we front-load for org building?  Back-load for a salary dump later?  A few options for Burnes to max out the market?  Deferrals?  Does any of that matter to Burnes more than what other teams offer in AAV or length? Makes me wonder how serious we were in on 1 or more decent SPs last offbefore a late pivot to Burnes...

      Thing is if you are John you would want to go to best team possible.    I’m just spitballing anyway. Have to see how it plays out.

      What's the downside in a MiL deal, though?
