Boston Red Sox

[jaking1185]

Don't talk down to me because of my age, I'm a 5th generation Red Sox fan. I know more about players from the old days than most people who were alive to see them because of stories from my father and grand father.

They're not going to retire the number of a guy who was only a 3 time all-star, never won an MVP, isn't in the HOF, hit above .300 once in his career, and is only a .272 hitter lifetime. It doesn't happen...

I'm not trying to do that, but perspectives are different when you actually see the players in action. His numbers weren't among the all-time greats, but there are other intangibles involved in how great a player is besides offensive statistics. Being a team leader who is there every day, and is the heart of your team counts for something that numbers don't show.

Let me give you a hypothetical: Jason Varitek. His careers numbers do not put him among the greatest catchers of all time, but you cannot dispute his importance to your two championships. Say 20 years from now someone says to you "Yeah that Varitek guy, what was so great about him?", what would you say?

I always preferred the players who did not seek the limelight and just did their jobs. players like Dwight Evans, Don Mattingly, and my all-time favorite player Robin Yount. I'd take a team full of those types any day over the players who think money=respect and get their talent from a syringe.

[SmoothD41]

did you see Manny beat out that infield single last night? Most hustle I've seen him show in years. :lol

[MistreatedLewis]

Amazing what lust for money will do, eh? How greedy can a man be? The man is a gazillionaire, and he's pissed off because his old team was thinking about paying him only 20 Mil next year.

[rickyh24]

^ No shit...when has he ever tried that hard??? It wont last long it was just opening night motivation.

Bay looked great at the plate and in the field last night. I'm glad Theo made this move. They would have gotten nothing for Manny he just would have walked in the off season. Now we at least have a solid left fielder, who will give 100 percent at all times.

I'll be interested to see what happens with Manny in the off-season. For as good as he is, he's certainly not young, and his history of antics almost makes me think that $20 million/year is going to better than what he might get after this season.

It's certainly possible.

That said, I still kind of wish Omar had traded with Pit and flipped him for Manny instead of LA :BANG

[dowling25]

so I was in Boston for Manny's final game and the first game with Bay. When Manny came up there were an assortment of boos and cheers, but I think the boos outweighed the cheers easily

When Bay did anything there were people on their feet cheering and giving standing ovations. It was so much more fun...not only because they won...but because Manny was gone at Fenway.

I'm glad he is gone too!

[rickyh24]

Bay looked good again tonight, so did Lowrie. Hopefully they keep it up.

[Smythe124]

I'm glad Bay has done as well as he has for his first three, but it was hard to watch Manny go 4-5 and be as locked in as he was tonight for LA. I think the Sox should run more. Crisp, Ellsbury, Lowrie, Lugo can all run and I think Pedroia, Bay and Drew could all steal 15 bases a year if given the chance. With less pop in the lineup I think it may be time to evaluate playing a little more (read: minimal) small-ball.

[rickyh24]

Less pop in the lineup??? Bay's power numbers are identical to Manny's this year. If Bay keeps it going he will make Theo look like a genius...again. Since his price tag is about 14 million cheaper than Manny's.

[rickyh24]

Haa haa, when they did the upgrade a few weeks ago, it included an upgrade to the amount of smilies we can have in a post. It's now up to 30!! :evil:evil:evil:evil :lol:lol:lol:lol:lol

[Character Zer0]

Honestly, I'm glad the Manny ERA is over. Obviously, losing his bat is a huge blow to the lineup, but it's not as bad as I initially thought. Jason Bay is a upgrade in speed, fielding, can hit for power with a solid batting average, and not to mention the guy shows some hustle and a great attitude. I mean, since being here he's said all the right things, and has backed everything up with solid play in left field, not to mention he's cheaper, younger, and will give us more years than Manny.

Losing Brandon Moss and Craig Hansen is a huge blow, but the Sox have enough youth to make up for that.

And to Manny actually showing hustle for once, and having two great games in a row. Just wait a couple weeks and the true Manny will come out. We'll be seeing the half ass Manny that we all know.

[jmudmbphan]

half-ass manny is still better than jason bay

[ProudestAnt]

half-ass manny is still better than jason bay You're just pissed that you had to settle for Nady, AND that you can't catch us without Manny...

[thebestauntie]

You're just pissed that you had to settle for Nady, AND that you can't catch us without Manny...
Well put! :thumbsup

[Crush086]

You're just pissed that you had to settle for Nady, AND that you can't catch us without Manny...
Nady had 6 RBI yesterday (should've been 7, but that's a different story).

Bay is pretty much an even swap, minus about 15 million dollars.

But like I said, I don't think he'll put up numbers as good since he's in the AL, the AL East to be specific. But he won't be a scrub or anything.

You can't tell me you think Nady is the player Bay is. And Bay's numbers will even out, yes he's in the AL East, but he's finally in a hitter friendly park, as opposed to PNC...

[rickyh24]

only if you don't look at it logically

[rickyh24]

The bullpen sucked before the trade it still sucks now.....no huge blow there.

[SoRight24]

Bay > Nady

And it's not even close.

look at the last 5 years......

[ProudestAnt]

Dude's scored 6 runs in 3 games already. He likes it here, and the park will help him out a LOT, plus he has protection now...

[SoRight24]

I think he's my new favorite player.

Other than Pedroia.

[thom hudson]

we're comparing bay and nady now? :lol

[SoRight24]

we're comparing bay and nady now? :lol

One of your Yankee compadre's was. ;)

[ProudestAnt]

we're comparing bay and nady now? :lol Considering Bay was the one you guys actually wanted, but weren't willing to give up the players for, and we wound up getting him, yeah, I'd say it's a safe comparison...

[thom hudson]

nady is a role player. and that's all we want him to be.
we don't need anymore superstars.

bay was brought in because one of your superstars wanted out and you needed a big name/bat to fill those shoes.

they're 2 different types of player. no comparison.

[ProudestAnt]

[thom hudson]

You originally wanted Bay, stop acting like you didn't...
i don't remember that being the case. but im sure the yankees didnt feel like giving up the house for him.

and stop acting like bay is the be-all end-all because manny is now playing like he gives a shit. there's a hole in your lineup now, whether you want to admit it or not.

[rickyh24]

there's a hole in your lineup now, whether you want to admit it or not.

where is the hole?

[thebridge15]

where is the hole?when does jacoby bat?

[thom hudson]

where is the hole?
the part that used to say "LF #24 Ramirez"

[ProudestAnt]

i don't remember that being the case. but im sure the yankees didnt feel like giving up the house for him.

and stop acting like bay is the be-all end-all because manny is now playing like he gives a shit. there's a hole in your lineup now, whether you want to admit it or not. There has been a hole since Manny decided to shut down to force a trade, and we're still 2.5 games up on you guys, so what does that say about your team?

[ProudestAnt]

when does jacoby bat? :lol 9th...

[thom hudson]

There has been a hole since Manny decided to shut down to force a trade, and we're still 2.5 games up on you guys, so what does that say about your team?
we're not talking about "my" team right now.

i'll say this, bay is a stud, but i'm telling you that you guys are going to feel the abcense of manny and it's going to hurt.

now, if you'd like to discuss the state of the yankees, let's go.
we just split a 4-game set with the team that swept you last week.

it's going to be an awesome race in the al east.

[rickyh24]

the part that used to say "LF #24 Ramirez"

you mean where Mike Lowell bats?

[ProudestAnt]

we're not talking about "my" team right now. But "your" team is chasing "my" team, and we're talking about "my" team, so vis a vis...

[thebridge15]

thom what is your team

[rickyh24]

If Jason Bay is a "hole in the lineup"...I will gladly take two more holes.

[thom hudson]

thom what is your team
los janks. what did you think? :lol

[ProudestAnt]

If Jason Bay is a "hole in the lineup"...I will gladly take two more holes. It's the fact that people are forgetting that Bay is coming FROM PNC park (one of the most notorious pitchers parks in the game), where he put up all-star numbers, TO Fenway (with a HUGE wall only 320 ft. away for righties) and then act like they know what they're talking about...

[ProudestAnt]

Couple that with the fact that he was hitting between Doumit and Nady in Pit, and now will be hitting between Ortiz and Lowell or Lowell and Drew. How can you possibly think that his numbers won't improve?

[rickyh24]

I just have to look at Manny's and Bay's stats to know we did not lose too much....if anything at all. It's rather obvious.

[ProudestAnt]

I just have to look at Manny's and Bay's stats to know we did not lose too much....if anything at all. It's rather obvious. We took a hit on OBP and AVG, but those will come with protection and park...

:yawn
honestly, i don't give a shit whether or not you "think i know what i'm talking about".

i know what manny did for that team and i know what his abcense is going to mean. jason bay or not.

[thebridge15]

los janks. what did you think? :lolwhat i dont know :lol

you gotta know who peoples teams are to understand arguments in this forum

[rickyh24]

We took a hit on OBP and AVG, but those will come with protection and park...

yeah be we gained in fielding, base running, and overall attitude.

[thom hudson]

and on that subject where are the motherfucking yanks fans to come up in here and have my back? :lol i'm getting ambushed!

[rickyh24]

they are probably in the Yankees thread.

[thom hudson]

scumbags :lol

[thom hudson]

anyhow, my original argument was that bay and nady were being compared to each other.

nady is a role player.
bay is a superstar.

each team needed just that, respectively.
whether it works out remains to be seen.

[thebridge15]

i think its

bay > nady

right?

[thom hudson]

i think its

bay > nady

right?
is that going to make you feel all warm inside? if i admit that bay is "better" than nady?

[ProudestAnt]

[thom hudson]

Who are the Yanks starting in the OF?
nady/damon
cabrera
abreu

and i know where you're going with this.

but our best hitter didn't have one foot out the door, so we couldn't make a trade for bay happen.

[ProudestAnt]

nady/damon
cabrera
abreu And this whole "not needing a superstar" notion, does it come from the idea that Abreu and Matsui will both be back next year?

[thom hudson]

And this whole "not needing a superstar" notion, does it come from the idea that Abreu and Matsui will both be back next year?
they won't be?

[ProudestAnt]

they won't be? Abreu might not, Matsui may not be the same after an injury like his...

[ProudestAnt]

My point being, if you can honestly sit there and tell me that you would, in the situation your team is in, rather have Nady than Bay, then I'll drop this topic. Keep in mind that Bay is making a pittance next season, and Abreu's team option will cost, what, 16 mil?

[thom hudson]

i wouldn't let abreu walk...

matsui, possibly, so i see your point, but i don't know that i'd quit on matsui just yet.

[ProudestAnt]

i wouldn't let abreu walk...

matsui, possibly, so i see your point, but i don't know that i'd quit on matsui just yet. You would take a 16 million dollar option on Abreu?

[smeritt]

i wouldn't let abreu walk...

matsui, possibly, so i see your point, but i don't know that i'd quit on matsui just yet.
I can't wait to get rid of matsui, his defense can only get worse and god only knows how is hitting is going to be affected after another serious injury

yeah, bay is a bargain. i would have loved to have him, over nady. but we didn't have a star player who wanted out. if we did, he'd be in ny. yanks weren't going to give up the world just to get him.

[ProudestAnt]

[smeritt]

We did kinda steal Marte and Nady, very impressed with Cashman here.

[thom hudson]

Valid point...
I don't know if you're being sarcastic or not...

and I'd pick up Abreu's option.

EDIT: and we did basically give up nothing for everything we got at the deadline.
Ca$hman came through for us.

[ProudestAnt]

I don't know if you're being sarcastic or not...

and I'd pick up Abreu's option. I'm being serious. And that's a lot of money for a guy who may not break .300 BA, 100 RBIs OR 20 HRs this season...

[smeritt]

I'm being serious. And that's a lot of money for a guy who may not break .300 BA, 100 RBIs OR 20 HRs this season...I agree he is not worth 16 million but he still needs to be a Yankee next year.

[thom hudson]

I'm being serious. And that's a lot of money for a guy who may not break .300 BA, 100 RBIs OR 20 HRs this season...
he leads the team in rbi's and his numbers with men on are pretty scary (in a good way).
http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/5698/situational;_ylt=AhHJ8tgz19D2XQMLSatJ7GOFCLcF

he's been hot the past couple weeks, so i am anxious to see where he goes from here.
i still stand by picking up his option though.
solid all around player who can perform in nyc.
sounds silly, but it's important.

[Crush086]

One of your Yankee compadre's was. ;)
Ain't that something. I leave work and get ripped to shreds by the Sox fans.

Wait wait wait wait wait. You started the comparison first. I was just saying that Nady won't be the 35 HR, 115 RBI guy, but he'll do the job he was traded to do.

Look, Bay was a great trade for the Sox. Let's be honest. Manny is a phenomenal hitter. I don't think Bay can do what Manny can at the plate. Like I said, Bay is good, but not Manny good.

Looks like all the Yankee fans have come to invade though. :lol

[SoRight24]

is that going to make you feel all warm inside? if i admit that bay is "better" than nady?

Not really.

It makes me feel better inside to say it, though.

ricky - who would you rather have up in a big situation? manny or bay?

[rickyh24]

ricky - who would you rather have up in a big situation? manny or bay?

Bay tripled with 2 outs in the bottom of the 12th in his first game as a Sox. He then scored on an infield hit by Lowrie. While obviously Manny has a proven track record I'm not going to write Bays clutchness off yet...he does have a lot to prove though. I was seriously sick of Manny and I am more than happy with what we got. Manny was gone after this year anyways. Bay will be around for a few years at a much cheaper price tag.

so your answer is...?

[ProudestAnt]

so your answer is...? I take Bay because I know if he hits a grounder, he's going to leg it out...

[rickyh24]

I'm pretty sure Manny would have not turned a ball hit of the monster into a triple, like Bay was able to do that game. So I guess it depends on the situation.

[thom hudson]

interesting answers.

Oh shit, I forgot how serious everyone takes things without the sarcasm emoticon. This post was meant to be taken sarcastically. ;)

[thebestauntie]

No kidding. Last time I checked the Red Sox were still in second place behind the Rays and the Sox were leading the Wild Card. The Yankees, 3rd place in the division and 4th place in the Wild Card.

Clearly the Red Sox suck way more than the Yankees. Thank you for schooling us Crush. :rolleyes

And the last time the yankees won a championship was what, the 20th century? Okay, thanks.

And I dunno, I censor stuff randomly all the f*cking time. I'm trying to talk more like a laaaaady.

Celebrating 2nd place? You guys just won a couple of championships. I figured you'd break out of the loser mentality...

I stand corrected.

I'm glad you two are ladies. Otherwise this crying would be intolerable... typical, but intolerable nonetheless.

And for what it's worth, I think I ate some mold yesterday, so I'm not feeling too good. <-- Feel free to insert a "stupid Yankees fan" comment to go with that...

First of all, I'm not celebrating 2nd place, I'm merely pointing out that the Sox are doing better than the Yankees at this point. Hardly cause for celebration.

Second, where's the crying on our part? All I'm seeing is a Yankee fan trying to make himself feel better about his loser team by pointing out the fact that the Sox aren't in first place at the moment.

Good! I hope it was black mold! Serves you right, goddamnit!

Also, I heard Joba the Hutt Chamberlain strained his shoulder jerking off to a cardboard cutout of David Ortiz wearing Jason Giambi's "lucky thong". Just something I heard through the grapevine.

















And by grapevine, I meant from Joba himself.

what crying? if i was gonna talk smack about baseball as a yankees fan (god help me) i wouldn't do it in the sox thread...not currently anyways.

You don't see me topping or participating in any Giants threads now do you?

ewwwwww why'd you eat mold? Penicillin is much better in pill form!:D

[rickyh24]

If i remember correctly second place in the division a few years back resulted in a world championship.

No, it was green. The bread was still soft. I'm still good enough to get my Ants on, so I'm gravy.

Funny you should mention Ortiz. Didn't he just hurt his hand again? He should invest in some lotion. He won't strain as much when he gives the handjobs to Varitek, although word through the grapevine is he's a pro with his mouth. :shrug

Good point. The first post about the shitty team was a joke... being that you don't frequent these threads, I had to take the opportunity. Looks like it's that time of the month though, and nobody thought it was funny.

It was an accident eating the mold. I grabbed the bread and it was still soft. I ate the sandwich while reading, so I didn't focus on the crust too much.

I woke up this morning to make lunch, and the whole half of the loaf was rather green. Still soft, but moldy. The crust was a bit hard yesterday, but I cast it aside.

Nope, not really.

You ate moldy bread?! Did you learn nothing in science class?

So, is that the new definition of never? And how long was it between Red Sox championships when they first won in 2004? :p
