The judges would have also accepted, "If Ortiz had something to hide, why is he hiring former Boston police commissioner to assist in the shooting investigation?" Can’t both things be true? Ortiz has nothing to hide and the explanation given is bogus? Sure it can.

He's been through a crazy amount of injuries and surgeries. I'm also guessing the calf was lining up to be months more, so they would have been without him for much of the season anyway. That's my guess too. In general though I'm just really confused how people can question his "drive" when he's already had enough "drive" to make it to the NFL and then come back from all these injuries. Frankly, I hope this is the beginning of a trend of players making their money and getting out before articles like this have to be written about them.

I would love to ask the board though, what is worse, calling people obligatory names and insulting people or a person who has a different opinion, who just posts too much? One seems harmless. The other isn't. Here we go again.. Yeah man, your only sin is that you have "a different opinion" and that you "post too much". Has nothing to do with the list of 5 things that I pointed out above that you are constantly guilty of in one way or another.

I'll tell you what. If I prove that they are true will you actually leave the board for good this time? I'm going to walk away already showing the board what kind of a person you are. Yes, please do that.

It might. But in the last 24 hours you have:
1. Claimed you knew better than the actual doctor of the Boston Red Sox (not to mention James Andrews) 2. Repeatedly lied about things you knew nothing about to prove the point you were making 3. Called the actual and literal person that you were creating the conspiracy theory about a liar 4. Told someone who has had TJ surgery in real life that they didn't know what they were talking about. 5. Even after the only evidence in the thread went against you, started saying you were right based on the "hard evidence."
You're the definition of a troll.

In almost every thread on this board you dig your heels in with some random theory you've come up with, and even when proven you are wrong about something, you think posting about it even more is the way to convince everyone that reality is wrong and you're right. That means that every 5 posts on this board is either from you or about something you've posted. So if I don't get to post based on your activity in a thread I would literally have no chance to ever post, and neither would anyone else. I mean, the saddest part of this conversation (in more ways than one) is that you still might be right about Chris Sale having to have surgery at some point. I don't think that would surprise anyone, and I also don't think anyone is disputing that fact. The problem is that, instead of acting like a normal human being that makes their opinion known and moves on, you instead lie or make up stuff to make the conversation about you, and then spend the rest of the thread making posts like the one I quoted above. I mean, I've tried blocking you once before, but then I didn't understand a damn thing that was being posted, because everything was either blocked or commenting on the thing that was blocked. -Not every one of these that I post is a dang conspiracy theory. I'm sorry you don't the way I post. Neither is the fact am I digging in everytime or not walking away. Like I have made my points before and walked away plenty on here. I've even left this board plenty of times. What about the times I'm right? Don't want to point that out? My posts are calculated and well thought out. I could go over everything that I wanted the Sox to do this year and everything I wanted to see get done, and I guarentee you that I had a good grade on what I wanted to get done. The fact that you blocked me and then crapped on the way blocking system works has nothing to do with me, either. That's on the board. Nice to see you counting all my posts though. I'm sure you were one of the ones that complained about that when I left a year ago. You "leaving" was just another way to make everything about you. It's what you do. You like the attention because you're a troll. So no, I didn't complain that you left. You're a crap poster and the board is better when you're away.

...Says the guy with 50 argumentative and completely made up posts since noon today Says you dude. Like don't comment if you have a problem with my posts. Remember the time I made crap up on the Steve Pearce thread and argued with 20 people to be proven right later? In almost every thread on this board you dig your heels in with some random theory you've come up with, and even when proven you are wrong about something, you think posting about it even more is the way to convince everyone that reality is wrong and you're right.

Honestly, this is the approach to reality that has the world in such a mess. Literally all evidence indicates he has an inflammation, We can leave it at that and move on. ...Says the guy with 50 argumentative and completely made up posts since noon today

Put your rose colored galsses on. If Sale wants to come out and spin this, that's fine. You jumped the shark with this one man. Trolling is an art, and this is just sloppy

You said "There wouldn't be a PRP injection if it was just inflammation." Which you completely made up. You said I "ordered you" which I never did. You're making stuff up. Chris Sale the pitcher, who's thrown a million pitches, had a procedure done that is more commonly used to fix ligaments, tendons, and joints. Saying that this procedure wasn't done because of inflammation is a 99 percent probability here and is perfectly acceptable thing to say in these circumstances. You said it WASN'T used for anything but that. Which you made up.

I didn't order anything. My specific words were "Respectfully asking". Now I won't be respectful about it: Stop making shit up. It makes this board unreadable. I'm not making anything up, is the thing. A lot of you want to just be positive about it, or just don't want to hear what's probably coming. You said "There wouldn't be a PRP injection if it was just inflammation." Which you completely made up. You said I "ordered you" which I never did. You're making stuff up.

I can think of no other explanation for this dichotomy other than how jealous we all are of your perfect opinions. My opinion isn't perfect, but when someone tells you a order to not make definitive statements based off of probability, I think it's *perfectly* fine to call them out on it. I didn't order anything. My specific words were "Respectfully asking". Now I won't be respectful about it: Stop making shit up. You make this board unreadable.

I was recently prescribed a medication that mostly deals with rapid heart beat. If I were to tell someone what medication I'm taking they would automatically assume I have a rapid heart beat...But I don't have a rapid heart beat. I have high blood pressure. The previous medications I tried weren't helping, but this one does. My previous post didn't ask you what a PRP injection COULD be used for, or even what it most likely could be used for. Your post before this one said it COULD NOT be used to combat inflammation, and you still haven't proven that was not completely made up. You've already stated what you THINK Sale's diagnosis could be. You've made that clear and we all get it. I'm not a mod, but I am respectfully asking you to stop making declarative statements ("There wouldn't be a PRP injection if it was just inflammation.") when you don't actually know for certain that's what's going on. It's a good statement, given the circumstances. If you want to pretend the thing is just inflammation, go right on ahead and ignore the signs. Doctors make definitive decisions without knowing what the definitive problem is all the time. Yet, I can't make those statements based on the probability of what is going on here. Funny. Of course you can't. You aren't a doctor and you haven't been within a mile of Chris Sale's arm or any of the tests ran on that arm. Is this a real life statement or did someone hack your account and try to make the dumbest possible comment imaginable. If so they succeeded.

Could you provide a source for that? I'm not a doctor and would rather not pretend to be one, but a quick Google search says the treatment "is known to protect tissues from inflammatory damages." Do you know for a fact that this treatment would, in no way, be used in that way? www.hss.edu/condition-list_prp-injections.asp"What is platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and what are PRP injections? Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy uses injections of a concentration of a patient’s own platelets to accelerate the healing of injured tendons, ligaments, muscles and joints. In this way, PRP injections use each individual patient's own healing system to improve musculoskeletal problems. PRP injections are prepared by taking anywhere from one to a few tubes of your own blood and running it through a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets. These activated platelets are then injected directly into your injured or diseased body tissue. This releases growth factors that stimulate and increase the number of reparative cells your body produces. Ultrasound imaging is sometimes used to guide the injection. The photographs below illustrate a PRP injection into a patient's torn tendon. The ultrasound guidance is shown at left and the injection is shown at right." It's pretty common knowledge that if it was a mild strain, this thing would just be shut down and he would be prescribed inflammatory medicine, along with rest and rehab. Chances are that this is a grade 2 ucl strain needing further treatment than just rest, rehab, and inflammatory medicine. I was recently prescribed a medication that mostly deals with rapid heart beat. If I were to tell someone what medication I'm taking they would automatically assume I have a rapid heart beat...But I don't have a rapid heart beat. I have high blood pressure. The previous medications I tried weren't helping, but this one does. My previous post didn't ask you what a PRP injection COULD be used for, or even what it most likely could be used for.

That is the glass is completely empty way of looking at it. If multiple doctors, including Andrews, see only inflammation, then I am cautiously optimistic that this is not worst case scenario. There wouldn't be a PRP injection if it was just inflammation. Could you provide a source for that? I'm not a doctor and would rather not pretend to be one, but a quick Google search says the treatment "is known to protect tissues from inflammatory damages." Do you know for a fact that this treatment would, in no way, be used in that way?

There's also a rule that says you can't renew a player for lesson than either 20% or 30% of that players salary the year before, which obviously the Red Sox wouldn't do. I don't believe that's true and it wouldn't apply to a free agent anyway. Not quite sure what you're getting at? It obviously wouldn't apply if he's actually a free agent. Only applies to players that need to have a contract tendered to them based on their service time. The point I was making was that it wouldn't be possible for the Sox to put him on the 40 man roster after his contract expires and only be responsible for the minimum salary. They would be on the hook for much more than that. (Larger point being that whether he's a free agent or not: Rusney's gone) It's on page 13-14 of the CBA if you want to take a look.

Seems odd for Dave to be talking about the Wild-Card game, when they are on the outside looking in. Not to mention that each of the teams ahead of them just got better. Using starters to save the bullpen in the postseason would be great, but you gotta get there first.

I'm not arguing with you about this. Chris' post was very clear that politics are no longer allowed on this board thanks in large part to your posting habits. If he wants to come in here and say otherwise I will defer to him, and be gone from the site.
And thanks for the recommendation on the music thread. As long as politics stay out of the board I'll be happy to check it out.
(Obviously not directed at you Manfred)

You know a slash means "or" right? Meaning global news OR politics are no longer welcome on the board. As in, if the powers that be reverses course and now allows this type of trash on their board, then I will never return/donate to the site again.
