Seems legit

If Jerry Springer's security guard endorses it, you know it's good!

Sorry, I know it's the wrong thead but they won't let me post there.

You can't post in the Varitek thread in the sandbox?

[InsideTheParker]

I just have the strongest desire to post in last night's thread to see if it makes a difference. I'm fighting it for now.

Legit or not, there's a shocking lack of porn at that site.

I just just wanted to be with the big boys.

[Dionysus]

I'm going to be watching this game for a change. So win.

Also, there was a fair amount of Tek bashing going on so I thought I'd bring in a reasonable suggestion to calm everyone down. 2 rings, 4 no hitters, selected team captain by OUR team. Any true Red Sox fan would not just throw him into the garbage heap. That'd be like slapping your mother for not giving you lunch money.

Captain in baseball means pretty much nothing, the no hitters are pitching accomplishments, and the 2 rings were from when he was good.

Greg Maddux and Randy Johnson won a bunch of Cy Youngs too. We should definitely bring them on next year.

2 rings

That happened in somethign we call 'the past.' Things, like Jason Varitek's ability to play baseball, often change from 'the past' to 'the present.' In 'the present' Jason Varitek sucks at baseball and costs us games. You know who else has a Ring? David Eckstein. He sucks too

4 no hitters

There's lots of room for debate on how much of that is attributable to 'Tek versus luck and, y'know, the guys actually PITCHING. Hint: It's almost entirely the Pitching. Plus, Jason's old and can't play baseball.

Any true Red Sox fan would not just throw him into the garbage heap.

And this is just plain insulting. You are actually using such a bullshit statement on SOSH? That people aren't "true fans" because they disagree with you? Way to go. You'll never escape the Sandbox that way.

S'queeze me? Are you taking away my "true fan certificate"? Bashing 'Tek has nothing to do with whether you're a true
fan or not. An educated person can also see the great contribution that 'Tek has made to this franchise but also still draw
the obvious conclusion that as of right now he sucks and he's hurting the team. This fact doesn't denigrate anything he
has done before. It's just that right now, he sucks. Bad. Bad, bad, bad!

[SoxFan234]

Clay + Victor + Youk = win...let's sweep this series and go 6-1 on the trip. Grienke is the one and only person that should stand in the way of a sweep on this road trip.

[redsox11507]

MASN only for the MLB.tv viewers tonight?

[luckysox]

Ahhh, MASN. A Quality Viewing Experience every time.

edit: OOOO and Brooks Robinson tonight, too! Bring out 'yer dead!!!

Edited by luckysox, 18 September 2009 - 06:06 PM.

[luckysox]

It starts. I'm calling 11-2.

[TFisNEXT]

Sweet....we randomly got Eck tonight.

[Dionysus]

The fuck is up with NESN on mlb.tv?

I have the Sox footage... but the audio is talking about golf?

[OhBabyDontOrtizMe]

Melvin Mora always looks like he is on the verge of tears. I guess that is what happens when you play your entire career in Baltimore.

[Dionysus]

And now the audio is Joe C. Sweet... but has the universe gone mad?

[OhBabyDontOrtizMe]

Are you imply that Robinson has Swine Plague?

[SunkToANewLowell]

He played two years with the Mets. Although Im not sure thats any better.

[mikeford]

Really hit the shit outta that one, Pedroia

[Rudy's Curve]

Remy doesn't travel, unless you were expecting Roberts.

[OhBabyDontOrtizMe]

It does that sometimes. Early on in a few games I've had some whacky stuff happen. I once had some sports talk show from Arizona. It usually corrects after a few minutes.

[luckysox]

Are you imply that Robinson has Swine Plague?

Naaah, only that they gotta bring out the old guys in Birdland to find anyone that's owrthy of special honorin'.

[OhBabyDontOrtizMe]

I never let the facts get in the way of a good barb.

[TFisNEXT]

I was...Eck usually doesn't travel either, though we did get him Chicago, and he'll go to NY.

[Dionysus]

...

Seriously, Sox?

[SemperFidelisSox]

Melvin Mora always looks like he is on the verge of tears. I guess that is what happens when you play your entire career in Baltimore.

And the Mets.

[RIrooter09]

We are missing some hangers.

[Dionysus]

Am I just bad luck?

[TFisNEXT]

Nice job capitalizing with a RISP and 0 outs.

[SemperFidelisSox]

With the bullpen set and the rotation finally coming around, the offense on the road has to be the biggest concern going into the postseason, right?

[SunkToANewLowell]

That out was as easy as pee-AY

[Sprowl]

I like this defensive infield behind a groundball pitcher like Buchholz: not the greatest range, but better than with Lowell and still very sure-handed.

[damons beard]

Are they wearing those nice blue shirts and goofy hanging sox hats tonight.

[TFisNEXT]

Whew, Buchholz is lucky its not 2-0.

[Dionysus]

Wow. O's broadcast Truped me there.

[Masamune42]

Phew.

[Dionysus]

4 pitch walk on Papi. We HAVE to get to Guthrie, right?

[Average Reds]

I just got home and logged in to say that I am outraged that Tek is not in the lineup tonight.


















I mean, for the love of Christ, I paid a sniper to be in the stadium tonight and how the hell is he supposed to get a clean shot if Tek is in the dugout?

[Savin Hillbilly]

He waits till Tek is near Green. That way, whatever happens, somebody's happy and Heidi's life gets simpler.

[TFisNEXT]

Kotchman!!

[mikeford]

Hooray runs! Hooray Kotchman.

[cpharding618]

KOTCH!

[Beomoose]

Thank you, Casey!

[staz]

I love playing teams that don't give a shit.

[Foulkey Reese]

Remember when somebody took Guthrie with their first pick in the real fantasy thread?

[cpharding618]

God this thread is dead. We've bitched about not scoring runs in one inning and cheered about scoring in the next all on one page...

[RIrooter09]

I believe it was the second round.
