In all fairness to Papelbon.  If I had to play with that whiny little baby Bryce Harper then I would want to choke him out in the dugout too

He could do whatever he wants for my team as long as he hits 13 home runs through the first two months with an OBP of .415.

That's weird. You spelled "Red Sox" wrong in the thread title.

Yup.  Philly fans love the type of slime that plays hard every play of every game no matter what the score or the team's record...The type of slime who is wiling to step into a pitch or lay down a sac bunt to help the team win and has the most beautiful short and compact swing designed to hit line drives in the gap instead of swinging for the fences all the time (unless Mets pitchers decide to serve up the homers to him of course).  He does all this without complaining, talking trash, flipping bats, arguing with umpires, and general hot dogging that Mets fans love to see from their current and former players like Cespedes and Reyes.  Utley sounds exactly like type of slime that Philly fans love.

Once the mets figure out how to hit a baseball again we're well on our way to 110 wins. 

Tonight Miami gets to say hello to our little friend!

That will be quite a change since they're on pace for only 90 wins. Chicago is "only" on pace for 115.

The Mets blazed after the all star break last year. This year will be the same. 

 The only thing the Cubs are on pace for is a fast track to the soul crushing pit of disappointment and despair. Jake Arrieta will shave his beard and hide in a corner rather than have to face the Mets at full strength.

Win 80 of the remaining 100 games?  That strains the limits of blowhard-ness. (If @jamo can make up words, so can I)  I have $100 says that won't happen.  I'll be glad to send a money order to an independent third party right now, if you're that confident.

I consider that a confirmation of the bet. You can each send $100 to me. I'll award it to the winner at the end of the regular season.

PM me for my address.

I have it from when I sent that yardage book for Caledonia.  I'll send a check today, if that's OK.

No, you need to send it to me.

I take betting seriously. Either send it or man up and call off the bet. Failure to do one of those two options will result in a penalty.

And I'll let a Nats fan decide what the penalty should be.

I think a neutral party like ST louis should decide.

If you cover the shipping beyond the cost of a first-class stamp it'll cost me to send the winner his winnings.

Is that it, you're accepting a penalty rather than actually go through with the bet?  Somehow, I thought that might happen.

      Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
