good call....after last season it couldnt get worse for them

 

[redseat]

hes got so much potential...if only he reaches it.

I'm sick and tired about hearing this crap coming from Red Sox brass! The whole "he has potential" BS... Not in Xanders case but in general

This should bring some laughs to your day

One of the first albums that I ever bought, nearly 40 years ago, was Dylan's Greatest Hits. I grew up listening to that, but never really payed much attention to stuff he did after the mid 70s. Went and saw him about ten years ago and was absolutely stunned by his music from "Love and Theft" and "Time Out of Mind". Really high quality.

It is my opinion that Dylan's album, Blood on the Tracks, is one of the top five albums of all time. It's nearly perfect.

They're scoring a shitton of their runs via HR. Not sure it's sustainable. It's more sustainable than what the Twins are doing, though.

I was at least one of the guys that laughed at you, and already posted my public mea culpa. Don't let it go to your head, though - you also said Buchholz was going to have an awesome year and I laughed at you then, and still am.

Sometimes you eat the bar...

Devers is the best you got.

i say clay would have a good year. hes had 4 bad starts more or less.

hes had 12 stars and 4 terrible to bad ones.

so 30% of the time he blows. beats last year.

he was on a run before his last outing, and pitched better than his line. he got out of a bases loaded, no out jam.

Great! So we can wait 4 years to see him, only to find out that he stinks, too. Rinse, lather, repeat.

And they had 2 of the top 5 picks last night, too. They should have top prospects for YEARS. Sometimes hitting rock bottom is the only way to get back on top. Look at the Washington Nationals, for example. It worked for the Rays, too.

You were wrong. It's okay.

Holy shit! You are 100% right about that one. I used to wear that CD out. That one and "The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan" are just perfect.

how can i be wrong is the season is not even half way over yet?

Fine. In that case, you're not right about Houston yet, so slow your roll with the masturbatory posts on the subject.

That is fucking great. Thanks for sharing.

I was going to post my favorite lines from the article, but there's too many. A plant. Fucking gold.
