The Official 2005 Boston Red Sox Thread

[Spacey]

wolfman,

is there anything you don\'t have stats for?

didn\'t Manny Ramirez come out to an objectable song (few years back, i think) that had to do with getting high?

[Klout]

But the prize definitely goes to Randy Winn of the Mariners, who comes out to Megilla by Phish!  I mean seriously, you got guys coming out to Who Let the Dogs Out and Born to be Wild and things like that, and this guy comes out to a Phish jazz tune.

haha thats awesome!

wolfman,

is there anything you don\'t have stats for?

Yes, there are 118 things that I do not have stats for.  The rest I have covered.

[antbach]

Three in a row! wooHOO! Let me hop back on the bandwagon :lol:

[Wolfman]

Allow me to reiterate:

There.  My first and last ever Owned.  Nothing like a moment of sheer retardedness to finish your day.

From November 4th, 2004

What about Pedro?  Wouldn\'t he look good in blue and orange?

Absolutely not. I\'d like to see how the Mets would justify not signing Guerrero last offseason, who is in the midst of his prime, and go for Martinez, who is just past it.

Thoughts, Pitchie?

[antbach]

That bored ya have to bring up comments from November? Or just ashamed that the Yanks have won 5 straight and are catapulting their way to the division lead sooner than anyone expected?

Then again you do bring up an interesting dillemma since they justified not signing Guerrero easily by signing Pedro and some dude named Carlos. . . Thoughts, Pitchie?

[Mark]

Went to Yankee Stadium yesterday, great game. Tino may save them yet!

[ChrisPitch]

Pedro is the best pitcher in the game

The Sox obviously blew it

The Mets obviously benefited (and should still have Guerrero)

I was wrong

That\'s irrelevant

I\'m not a general manager

And apparently, neither is Theo

Wells is looking good though

And Foulke is so bad he makes Rivera look steady

It was a nice try, Little Sock Boy

It was a massive failure (like the Sox offseason)

But it was a nice try

Work harder

[antbach]

Roger Clemens is the best pitcher in the game

Fixed that for ya, even being over the hill. . .

[ChrisPitch]

1. Pedro was dumped prematurely by the Sox. Clemens prematurely retired then unretired once the Yanks prematurely dumped Pettitte

2. Pedro helped lose Game 7 of the 2003 ALCS, a game which Clemens started for the Yanks. Clemens was the losing pitcher in Game 7 of the 2004 NLCS

3. They\'ve both beaned Mike Piazza and subsequently fueded with him through the media

4. They\'ve both won a Cy Young in each league

5. They\'ve both won a World Series

6. Pedro pitches for the Mets and Clemens was originally drafted by the Mets

The main difference: Pedro never used steroids

[Wolfman]

Why so hostile Met boy?  It was just a question.  Geez.  I guess I can understand after last night\'s crushing loss to the mighty Cubs, that must be what has you upset.  Or maybe it\'s just Kazmir for Zambrano.  For the next 10 years when you\'re just one pitcher short all the time and never win, the only thing that will come to your mind is "Kazmir for Zambrano".

Yes Anthony, I am bored.  What am I going to do, sit here and talk about the Red Sox winning again?  It\'s not news.  Getting Pitchie out of lurking to talk about the Mets is much more exciting than talking about another Sox victory.  The Yankee victories of late are exciting to talk about given the novelty factor.

[antbach]

novelty factor? yea, maybe to some, but Tino? I mean c\'mon, Sox fan or not give the guy some credit, just stepping it up for the Pinstripes. 5 homers in 5 games, that\'s pretty SER if you ask me, considering they signed him for defense. Welcome home Tino, welcome home. . . As for that Giambi guy? SOMEONE PLEASE TAKE HIM!!! Hey, Keith Foulke got another WIN last night

[ChrisPitch]

Yes, Kazmir for Zambrano was a bad trade. Almost as bad as the trade of Pedro for...wait, who did they get again for a first-ballot Hall of Famer who won Game 6 at Yankee Stadium then blanked the Cards in Game 3 of the World Series? Right, they got a big fat nothing. Actually, since they got Wells, they really did get a big fat nothing.

Please don\'t mistake hostility in regards to my team for criticism in regards to yours.

Please continue working harder.

[Wolfman]

I don\'t know why you\'re so hung up on Wells.  We don\'t need him.  8-1 since he went on the DL.  He\'s just a bonus if he happens to pitch well.  He probably won\'t even make the postseason roster.
