Happy 15 Year Anniversary!

[AlNipper49]

I joined this board way back when to complain about Jimy Williams.

Today is the 15th anniversary of him being fired. Every damn day of my life since then has improved. There is nothing positive that I can say about him.

He is everything that was pre-2004 Red Sox boiled down into its more pure, hateful form.

Manager's Decision my ass

Well the next month was a bit rough, what with the disaster of Sox under Joe Kerrigan and all. But your general point holds.

 

[jacklamabe65]

Win it for....Nip.

I would sleep naked, for eternity, underneath a bearskin rug WITH Joe Kerrigan AND his porn mustache while Satan watched stalker-style if it meant that my children would never have to experience a Sox manager like Jimy Williams.

Manager's Decision my ass

There is something so fitting about the board unknowingly celebrating the 15th anniversary of the end of Jimy by arguing incessantly about (Farrell's) manager's decisions.

 

[RG33]

He really did a great job talkin' it up during infield practice with fungoes though. He was old school.

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

One M ran a great bullpen though. It being his sole positive attribute.

Too bad Farrell does not have Jimy William's sole postive attribute. We could certainly use it now. I don't totally hate Jimy as much as some of you around here since we managed to win a post season series for the first time since1986 while he was here. I could not stand hearing my Met fan friends saying how we had not a series since1986.

The fuck are you doing with Mets fans as friends? It's like cuddling up to Mussolini's brownshirts.

Top Jimy. He's the king.

I enjoy each year wishing Nip a hapy birthday.

Darren Lewis and Damon Buford batting 1 and 2.

 

[PaulinMyrBch]

Wasn't he the one who flipped the shortstop and second baseman in the field (can't remember who the actual players were) on consecutive days and answered "managers decision" when the press asked him about it?

Darren Lewis and Damon Buford batting 1 and 2.

Don't forget Ed Sprague batting cleanup, and cameos by Andy Sheets and Manny Alexander at DH.

 

[glasspusher]

The fact that Pedro was able to outlast all of that and get a ring is another reason I'm not a complete atheist.

 

[HriniakPosterChild]

Shit, man, that proves nothing. I think everybody believes in Pedro.

 

[biollante]

Those were the days.

Back then, on the Providence Journal's board, I'd kept a game-by-game log on Jimy's "manager's decisions" on a thread titled "Mr. Weeble's Diary."

He was good for fun quotes; if entertainment was your thing.
