Are you saying that Kelly is no Ryan Dempster?
Kind of why I was a big Johnny Gomes fan. Kind of like the old Trotter too. I always liked the athletes who did not start things but really weren't afraid to finish things when the heat got turned up.
Hand the Os a 5 spot just to drill Machado? No thanks.
Priorities:
1. Yankees lose
2. Red Sox win
Let's stick one in Machado's ribs and ignite this rivalry, because the Yankees one has been neutered.

Yep. Like many of us, I have the iconic picture of 'Tek, AFraud and the "leather sandwich" over my desk at home.
BTW, I hear that's the only picture 'Tek refuses to autograph. He's apparently not proud of how he handled that situation - while most Sox fans love it!!
It's a mere moment in a man's life between the All-Star game and the Old Timer's game.

One of the hardest things to teach young athletes is that it is possible to be tough and maybe even a little mean but still be a human being. Don't let the assholes of the world get inside your head. I worked with a lot of kids who new that they could have kicked someone's ass in a fight but it was more important for us all it they were able to walk away from the taunts. I understand why tek might not have considered that one of his finer moments it is just that every now and then you have to do what you have to do. he was our kind of player!
I am all for retaliation if the team deems it necessary.
That said, it must be done the right way, which means absolutely no head hunting (in the ribs like you said). Also, winning the game is more important, IMO. In other words, don't do something stupid that's going to jeopardize the game in any way. If payback has to wait until the next game, then so be it.
The best form of retaliation is to beat the crap out of them in the game.
I will always admire Dempster for that plunk.Are you saying that Kelly is no Ryan Dempster?
He was certainly a man of the people that day.

"It's also a simple and indisputable fact that WAR isn't the be-all end-all in valuations, especially in real life. Wanna know why? Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."
I loved Ghomes. Plus he happened to look sort of like Charles Manson.
Who the fuck would want to fight that?
