PEDroia sucks!

If you need me, I'll be senselessly rooting for Sizemore 40/40 for the remainder of 2008.

YUCK. I demand another new thread. This one brought looch.

Dear Mr. Sabean, I hear you have a reputation of being stupid. Want to deal Lincecum or Cain? You can pick THREE of these 4 players for either: Borowski, Dellucci, Blake, Byrd.

I hate Dane Cook. I’ve never been angrier to see him.

This is going to be one of those inexplicably stupid games where no one scores for the next 6 innings.

by Toxicadam on Jul 30, 2008 10:12 PM EDT   0 recs

hmm. which of our relievers would pitch those innings?

by bentausig on Jul 30, 2008 10:12 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Yuk. This game makes me want to let my 12 children out of their cage so I can beat them.

Words do not do justice to my hatred for Boston sports teams.

so I just went on mlbtr for the first time in ~a week, and realized hammy (HOLY LOOCH!!!) reads it, as he said this word-for-word about 20 minutes ago:

Marlins get Manny Ramirez, one prospect (BOS), and cash (likely Ramirez’s remaining salary)
Pirates get Jeremy Hermida and three prospects (two FLO, one BOS)
Red Sox get Jason Bay and John Grabow

Only Illinois was worse, with 23 percent of water samples at its beaches exceeding safe levels.

Awesome. Out of the frying pan and into the fire.

Although to be fair, Illinois doesn’t have a lot of great lakes coastline, and what little we do have here we have to share with (ugh) Indiana.

I f*ing hate Indiana.

I don’t know what you guys are worried about.

Choo is gonna walk, then Shoppach and Marte will hit back-to-back doubles. This game is totally in the bag.

How inflated could you have possibly been?

I know it’s still nice to win a ballgame here and there, but Marte had a good night, Shoppach went totally nuts … you didn’t think Mujica would go the rest of the year without giving up a run, did you?

It’s really going to be exciting if he wins the Cy Young and the team wins 76 games?

The Cy Young is stupid.

I’m right there with you. I took very little pleasure from C.C.’s last year. At some point after 1999, I stopped caring about this stuff and started regarding it as slightly nice things that made it harder for us to retain our players.

“The Red Sox don’t deserve a player like me,” Ramirez said. “During my years here, I’ve seen how they [the Red Sox] have mistreated other great players when they didn’t want them to try to turn the fans against them.

“The Red Sox did the same with guys like Nomar Garciaparra and Pedro Martinez, and now they do the same with me. Their goal is to paint me as the bad guy,” Ramirez added. “I love Boston fans, but the Red Sox don’t deserve me. I’m not talking about money. Mental peace has no price, and I don’t have peace here.”

Mental peace has no price. Good point, Manny.

Also, the Red Sox totally screwed up not signing Pedro and Nomar.
