MALE, Brooklyn
About Me: Hello Red Sox Fans, Live in Brooklyn, formerly Longmeadow,Ma. I go a long ways back as a Red Sox,Celtics and (don't hate me) NY Giants fan. While I rarely go in person to a game, because I think Sports are over priced and we are taken for suckers, what with the over saturation of commerials including all the freakin billboards, I still love sports.

Forum Post: Francona self-medicated as manager...admits it book
You know, I was glad to see him go. Every time and I do mean every time they put him on camera all he seemed interested in doing was stuffing his mouth with bubble gum. Can you imagine what his teeth more »

Forum Post: Psst...We have a really good well rounded Playoff quality offense this year. Y/N?
Hey Spaceman! I'm still pissed that they traded you and Bernie away. But, hey, that Stan Papi was some ball player, no? Anyho, I think you got it exactly right. The chips lie on those starters. Both L more »

Forum Post: Will you follow the WBC this year?
You, know I think its kind of fun to watch. Here's a few random things about it... 1. Team USA. Since when is "Willie Bloomquist" an all star? Half of the Pitching is manned by guys I never heard o more »

Forum Post: Psst...We have a really good well rounded Playoff quality offense this year. Y/N?
This team could realistically lead the league in doubles (like last year), smack 200 taters, and steal 150 bases. While not in the same offensive tier as the Angels or Tigers, they might just lead the more »

Unbelievable! Don't get me wrong, I love watching Ellsbury play. However, last year he hit a whooping 4 dingers and had almost zero impact in an injury plaqued year. For that, he gets a raise??? - Nin more »

Forum Post: The Age Old Question: 12 or 13 Pitchers??
Good Morning Red Sox Nation! Read some great responses to my post. A couple of additional thoughts on my part... Acceves. I'm not quite as hooked on him as some of you. Bard. If he goes back to throwi more »

Forum Post: The Age Old Question: 12 or 13 Pitchers??
Soft, I liked your response. Good points. To me, Tazawa looks like the real deal and has to stay up. Acceves, looked lost by the end of the season. Maybe, he has to go. Carpenter, could be very undera more »

Forum Post: The Age Old Question: 12 or 13 Pitchers??
Zill (may I call you that for short?), The thing about sitting too long and then throwing too hard - I'm not sure I quite agree. It always seemed crazy to me to have a Pitcher warm up by throwing 50 o more »

Forum Post: What happens when Bogaerts gets promotion to AAA?
This is what will happen... He packs his suitcase. Says goodbye to his friends in Portland. Hops a bus, Peter Pan, Greyhound or Other. (That's the big question - WHICH ONE???) Then, he walks into the more »

Forum Post: 5 Sox Hitting Prospects to Track - Cecchini, Swihart, Jacobs, Marrero, Vinicio - Fire Brand of the AL
Sorry, but so far, I don't see it happening for any of these lads. Cecchini really needs to power up. Swihart, whos not that big, needs to ave 280 - 300 and show superior defense. Marrero seems ordina more »

If Ciriaco had been given the chance to start in 2013, is it fair to assume he would have given us average to above ave. defense which at least is equals to Drews? Here's my guess on say 140 games of more »
