    If I say something like he reminds me of Valentin someone immediately points out the fallacy of my opinion.

    How is that necessary? Why not just say, "how so Pete?"

    Did I say that the two had similar stats? Did I say they were both close friends of Nomar?

    I simply meant the two had a similar appearance.

    cp176 obviously knew what I was TRYING to say.

    I have no problem with MVP. He's a cool guy despite his obsession with Devers and Pedroia.

    And I certainly have not problem with you, either, Bell.

    "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."

    It was for Bells benefit. He knows what it means.

    Sammy Davis Jr. used to remind me of my Uncle Sonny. When I would say that, no one barked at me that Uncle Sonny couldn't sing or dance, never mind the more obvious physical difference. Most people asked me how Sammy reminded me of Uncle Sonny. I get what you are saying. Once in a while we should be able to just express an opinion without it being challenged as wrong.

    He's just continuing the last word joke.

    I hope Dave knows the lack of signings are causing much crankiness down here at TS!

    It's pretty disrespectful of DD to do this since we are basically the FO's think tank.

    DD could at least sign Buchholz to a minor league contract or something, for Christ's sake.

    Since TalkSox was born: 3 WS championships. They hadn't had any in over 80 years until we came along.

    Pitchers run the bases every day
    The real question was - why Wright? Hr had Drew Pomeranz who had filled that very role earlier that year in San Diego. .

    I've said it 100 times, but I'll say it again. Blaming Farrell for Wright's injury is just silly.

    That would be like blaming Dombrowski for Swihart's injury.
