Say, this is nice.

And I thought my Tech score update threads were pessimistic. JFC.

Twitch - I learned from the best.
 
Re: Fun Prevention: Red Sox 2010 season thread part 1

See, I knew if I waited long enough someone would start this thread with a better title than I would have come up with. :)

beckett didn't sign that offer yet, did he?!? there is still time to pull it back :confused: :eek:
 
Re: Fun Prevention: Red Sox 2010 season thread part 1

Beckett isn't sharp in a season opener against NY? I'm shocked.

Beckett is the #1 pitcher on this team in reputation only.
 
Re: Fun Prevention: Red Sox 2010 season thread part 1

What the hell was Victor Martinez thinking on that double steal? Beckett is out. The Yanks are doing what they do best and waiting for pitches and getting into the other teams bullpen.
 
Re: Fun Prevention: Red Sox 2010 season thread part 1

OK, so, this game is actually kinda fun now. Sorry Jon. :)

These games on ESPN Sunday nights are always so loooooooooooong.

w.t.f. is with the jacket and the audio? I'm not a huge fan of the song, but if you're going to have it sung live at Fenway...

You mean the rest of the nation wasn't subjected to seeing UCONN draw and quarter Baylor? See, there are worse things than 9 hour baseball games!

Everyone on this thread does realize that I'm going to be this pessimistic all season, right? It's carryover from watching Team Army, the Bruins "offense" and the Celtic's second half performances all winter.

The rest of the nation got both. ESPN had Girly hoops and ESPN2 had baseball. The worst of both worlds?

Last night had 326 pitches thrown. That's 1 pitch every 41.6 seconds.

Beckett: 4y/$68M
 
Re: Fun Prevention: Red Sox 2010 season thread part 1

Good deal all around.

$17M/yr really isn't huge money any more. Not in baseball, at least. I don't consider Beckett to be a true ace. He's not consistent enough - and really never has been. But the Bosox aren't poor, and Beckett contributes enough to merit that salary.
