But maybe in your case I should implement a minimum IQ requirement before responding. My time is too valuable to waste on idiots.

The key is to use the skills these players offer. Vic has speed, can steal a lot of bases. He has some pop. Usually hits at or near the top of the lineup. Very good in CF or RF.
You have to use these skills to get the most out of him. Bat him 1st or 2nd and give him the green light.

If Farrell does nothing else this year, he should be utilizing speed where he has it--at the top of the lineup. And encouraging the 1-2 batters to get on base.

One of Crawford's problems in Boston is one of his major skills--speed and stealing bases--was virtually ignored on a team that is power-oriented.

And Ross' defense sucked. Victorino will be great in RF at Fenway.

If you had asked me what I would have done, I would have been happy to share my ideas. but what would be the point when you already know what I think and what I would think in every situation. The fact that you think so is a perfect example of being asinine.

You have completely lost it.

You also should get paid by the Jets as a secondary coach because you back peddling technique is perfect.

Same ol soup, just re-heated. The a700 special. Question the other parties intelligence instead of nutting up and answering the question.

Somebody has to stop this back and forth stuff or it'll go on forever. Let's get back to baseball talk.

I tried, I asked him a baseball specific question. He couldn't respond with a baseball answer. Instead he pulled his usual crap and I called him out on it.

Ok back to Baseball. Did Lackey participate in the "crack-head" diet this off season? He looks like he lost 100 pounds.

You guys will never find ways to stop fighting on the forum. We just went through a terrible season, offseason means they'll be a lot of fights. Wait until we win a WS, they'll be nothing to fight about for a good 3 months.

Yeah, I was shocked at how he looks too.

That is a lotta' change for a pitcher to go through ...surgery.....lost all that weight....(may or may not be a good thing). We all agree that it will be a matter of luck as much as anything for Lackey this first year back. The cards sure seem stacked against him.

Look back at the exchange. Are you stoned? I made a comment. You responded with an insult and the question you asked me was this:

Quote:

Is there any situation where you wouldn't have anything to complain about?

I didn't interpret that as a baseball question, so no baseball answer was given. You can't be so stupid as to think that is a baseball question and not see that as just an insult.

RedSoxfanforlife305 · 02-08-2013, 10:43 AM

You're the king, who cares what he says?

Just messing a700, but I say we drop it because it's getting nowhere.

RSFL, I just get tired of the guy insulting me, and then saying he is calling me out on a baseball question. We can all read. I made a comment expressing my opinion of the RedSox off season. I didn't inult him. He can go manage his wooden shoe league and fuck off. I'm too old to waste time trying to get along with jackasses.

I don't engage with stupid and obnoxious.

How is your research paper going? There are a ton of funny stories about Williams if you want to work some of them into the paper.

RedSoxfanforlife305 · 02-08-2013, 12:16 PM

I'm getting the book today, but probably won't get into it much until Sunday.
