Or just send Wakefield to SD and improve the team
-
Every team has one catcher who catches atleast once a week to give the starter a rest. um...ok? What does that comment have to do with anything? Bard is a far superior catcher than Mirabelli with exception that he cant catch Knuckleballs and he never got the chance to learn to do so. And yes pleeeease bring THAT stiff back(trot).
-
Coco got thw wrist injury during the first week of the year, how can ya say he was great until then? I already stated earlier that I like Crisp and I think he will be great in the long run but just like Damon it took a while and patience. Bard only played as Victor Martinez's backup in Cleveland and when he did play he was very good offensively and solid defensively. Only reason he was traded was because Theo screwed up and had to save Wakefield by giving him his blanky(Mirabelli) back. That was a horrendous trade any way you slice it.

That's sad, and even sadder is the fact that the Gundam game might be up there for worst all time game ever.

Um, what? How can you say Bard was horrible when his only playing time was trying to catch a Knuckleball which even Varitek cannot do at all. Can't judge a guy for not using him where he is comfortable. Not to mention they gave up on him very early just because he couldnt catch a Knuckleball. You can't say Coco Crisp is a good pickup yet, because although I think he will be good in the long run he hasn't shown it yet. So as of right now dumping Marte for him looks horrible. Don't be fooled by all the shenanigans the Sox front ofice and Theo pulled this past offseason with him "Leaving the team" and all. There's plenty of speculation around that says Theo was always in contact with the team during the contract dispute and was very involved in all the decisions that were being made. The other thing that I have never been happy with was the Hiring of Francona. He is nothing but a players coach kissass that obviously cant manage himself out of a paper bag. 2004 Sox won the Series despite him, anyone could have "managed" that team that year with those players. Other than that he's been awful.

The Beckett trade looks pretty awful so far for one. Beckett had a pathetic year while Lowell had a good 1st half and HE was the better player of the deal. Hanley Ramirez had a realkly solid rookie season with Florida and wouldn't you know it, the Sox don't have a SS right now because they let go what many believe is the best defensive SS in the league Alex Gonzales. Annibal Sanches was better than Beckett as well by far. The Bard/Meredith for Mirabelli trade was awful as well as Mirabelli was complete garbage while Bard and Meredith would have been perfect fits for the Bosox in their weak areas. Getting rid of Wakefield would have been the better option honestly. It's not worth keeping a pitcher on board if he needs a specific shitty catcher to be any good at all. Trading Freddy Sanches looks real shitty too, what with him winning the NL Batting title and becoming a double Machine. Theo had a part in putting the WS champion team together but let's not get carried away. Ortiz doing what he has done was pure luck and nobody could have seen that coming. When they signed him it was for a Platoon DH role with Jeremy Giambi whom Theo thought was the better player at the time. The Cabrera trade was a great move at the right time and it worked well in every way...until they let him walk after winning and signed Edgar Renteria to a insane contract when they knew he wouldn't be able to take criticism playing in Boston. If they didn;t know that was the case then they are oblivious because like JD Drew everyone else in baseball saw it coming. I would love to know exactly what you percieve Theo's plan is these days. When he first got the job he preached about getting younger and focusing on OBP heavy players. SInce then he has traded 6 top prospects that have become solid MLB players already(Ramirez, Sanchez, Meredith, Marte, Sanchez, Bard, etc.). Then he trades for Wily Mo Pena who is the king of HR and strikeout and has absolutely no fielding ability whatsoever. The team, doesn't make any sense and the only move that has worked out for them recently was letting Pedro go because it looks like he might be done altogether. I'm actually looking forward to the Manny trade that is unfortunately coming soon because it should put a stamp on a failed GM when the team fails to even sniff the playoffs. The only saving grace here is Matsuzaka and IF he actually pans out. Because we all know how well Japanese pitchers have done in MLB so far. Nomo has been the best one and even he was very shaky. As for the Payroll thing, I garauntee that they rise well above the "Tax threshhold" this season and in the future. Schilling mention on a radio interview the other day that they are pushing aside past beliefs about staying under the tax limit because they know they have to spend to keep in contention with NY.

Theo's reign is already a complete and utter distaster. Horrible GM and I don't understand what the love is about him around here anymore. Most of his trades have backfired horribly on him to date. Getting rid of Manny would be yet another complete blunder IMHO. Money is no object to this team despite what has been said/done in the past. Ownership has a bloodlust for beating the Yankees and will spend Yankee dollars if it takes that to compete because they know around here they cannot keep fan interest if they don't stay in the race every year.

Well if things stay that way for any length of time it's good news for Blu-Ray. They get everything BUT Universal.

Lets not all forget how BAD Damon was compared to his new contract when he first signed with Boston. His first 2 years he got called out constantly because he was extremely overpaid(8 Million) at the time for the production he was giving us. Years 3 and 4 he ended up looking UNDER paid because he blew up as part of the best Offense in baseball. I can't stand how people decide after 1 season with a new team that a player won't be good ever again. Coco needs time and needs a healthy full season under his belt here before anyone can claim he's a bust or he just sucks.

Cheaper and easier HD upgrades is 1 minor thing. Free online. Certain Exlusive games(Most Xbox exclusives are or will be availible on PC) I dunno. I'm still debating on which one to get myself.
-
Full season?! YES! 2nd Fav. new show behind Heroes. Good job NBC!
-
It just seemed short to me I guess.
-
Yes and I love Chrono...alot. But there's also WAY more than 1 ending so there is mucho replayability. This is Linear.

When you go down through the first door on the right and see that statue, you can continue farther past there and find the second to the south(on the map wise). Then continue again to the east statue where you will need to be prepared to fight I have to say i'm a tad disappointed with this game and the length and story. I'm at the final area already and I am holding off finishing until I complete all the sidequests first. If you actually just play straight through without doing any side stuff you could finish this game in 45 hours easy. I'm at 80 now and have most hunts completed, a couple espers to get, and some other minigame stuff to do.

I fought him around the mid 40's level wise and just attacked the hell out of him until I was overwhelmed by Zombies. At that point his health was doen to about 2/3 and I quickening'd his ass for about a 9 hit combo. The "Finisher" from the quickening took out all 7 Zombies and nearly killed him. Regular attacks finished the battle for me.

Sylar has to have some kind of "power" of his own otherwise Chandra wouldn't have had him on his list and would have never sought him out in the first place. Nikki, I believe, has super strength and that's it for her "power". She just has Hulk like syndrome where when she's pissed she get stronger. She just uses the jessica thing because shes got daddy issues and of course shes devastated by what happened to her sister. I'm praying the Hero who dies is NOT Claire, Peter, the Cop, or Hiro. Anyone else I could live with even though I enjoy ALL the characters. Nathan is a bad bad man. Wouldn't be shocked if Issac was the dead hero next week. I really like Eden and the hatian. Interesting to find out about the Petrelli's dad and Linderman's connection. I'm sure we will eventually see linderman and I bet he has something to do as an Evil mastermind sort.

Well with McNabb it woulda been more like 45-42...

if by "Enforce" you mean blow calls then definitely!
-
This is what happens when 2 great defensive teams that have mediocre offense's play each other. Brady is awful the majority of this season. If the receivers were flat out dropping passes every game I could have sympathy for him losing "his" guys but he really has done an awful lot of over/under throwing all season.
-
Or it could just be that they are a pretty good team and have been for several years despite people continually claiming their success somehow has alot to do with pure Luck.
-
Is Patriots Luck a statistic? If so do they lead the league in it or something?

Even without Seau the Bears won't be getting far running the ball against the Pats D. #2 in the NFL vs. the run EDIT: Where's the Bears' O-line? Grossman looks about to soil himself.
