Fick: Asshole or hero?

Where did you do that? 1000 Runs and 1000 RBI and 1900 hits means he was solid at best. When you know the talent he had that sucks.

IT's subjective to say he didn't live up to his talent, but a lot of people around New ENgland who watched Fred Lynn over 140 games a year 1975-1980 would agree. You look at his final stats and say "wow, he wasn't bad". Moron.

 

You are a fucking idiot. Williams hit .380 or so when he was almost 40 9either his last or next to last season I think), so no, he didn't "get old."

And I am not criticizing any of them - you started off ragging Lynn for all his bad years b/w 76 and 80 and now we have determined that all those bad years added up to one season - 1977.

 

Solid = Good imo. But that's not what you said. You said he "sucked", which just isn't true. You even we so far to compare him to the great Greg Kite.

While a lot may agree, there must be a lot that disagree, I mean the man is in the Red Sox HOF! I am sure they don't just let anybody in this little club.

Sure he was an up and down player stat wise, but most players are. It's the few that are consistantly good that usually make the baseball HOF. Damn, Sosa didn't hit 60 home runs this year, he must suck!

You are arguing a point that you are wrong about, get over it!

 

Look it up. Second to last season was the only season he hit under .300, and I'm pretty sure it was below .260. Ted hit .316 in 1960 his final year. HIs .388 was 1957, the year after he lost out the batting title in Mantle's Triple Crown year.

 

Just what you want from future baseball players in Little League. "Fuck Cal RIpken, I want to be talented just like Fred Lynn, sit against tough lefties, platoon and not give it my all."

A level of "suckness" needs to be determined. If I was starting an expansion team, I wouldn't want him because of his shitty attitude. I guess he resembles McCants, wasted talent, so I can see why you think he equals good=solid.

Who's keeping score besides you? I have a feeling I haven't "lost"?

One more for the road.

 

Well although VP hasn't said who is correct or closer to it, from his comments, I am guessing and he can correct me if I am wrong, but he is stating Lynn is a better player than you claim by far.

I really don't understand your need to make more outta Lynn than what I originally said, I guess it helps you to feel better about yourself for lacking other things.

Either way, you took it there and the career stats and accomplishments speak for themselves about Fred Lynn. He was a lot better than you originally stated. It's funny you have to add something to the stature of or to qualify your opinion about Lynn with each posts after the one before.

Timeline:
MNC
First post: Fred Lynn - Lazy piece of shit, never played in more than 130 games after 1979, said I was first Fred Lynn fan, which isn't true and then the famous Fever is straw house and your Hurricane Hugo.

Second Post: I don't claim to be the greatest Red Sox fan (of course not, you were proven wrong by the straw house) just 1000 times more knowledgeable of a fan than you (even though you were wrong about facts). Then you deflect by bringing up Dwight Evans and a host of others = blah...blah...blah, oh and Fever Greg Kite and Fred Lynn are one in the same!!! LMFAO!

Shit, then I ask a simple question about your Hurricane knowledge about anything Red Sox, Fever to MNC - So just how many times was Fred Lynn an All Star?

MNC response=75, 79 with the Sox. Maybe 76 also, fans still excited from his rookie year. SURVEY SAYS - WRONG AGAIN

You said 2 maybe 3 times, well the correct answer is 9. 9 damn times, not even close, but your hurricane knowledge should have known that! Oh well, let's try again.

Then because Lynn did better than what your limited knowledge knew about Lynn you come up with the amazing arguement of - "It was a pitchers game back then" - well no shit compared to todays game. But with that said, Lynn's numbers would have been better in today's game if you use the same arguement.

Then it's argue about a contract season - more blah...blah...blah

Then he went from lazy piece of shit to a solid player.

Solid = Of definite shape and volume,Being the same substance or color throughout,Of good quality and substance,Substantial; hearty,Sound; reliable,Upstanding and dependable (none of that sounds like a lazy piece of shit)

Now you throw in Cal Ripken being an ironman, building an expansion team. Get a fucking hold of yourself man, oh nevermind you must be doing that when you come up with what you type, because you make absolutely no sense.

Waiting for your next blah...blah...blah statements.

 

some dork researches all my posts at 7am on a Friday morning, and he claims I "lack other things"? I hear ya Lynn-lover.

"Lazy piece of shit". Very subjective. Why would a "solid major league nine time all star" play in more than 130 games on twice in the final ten years of his career? Any answers Trebeck?

Why the Greg Kite hating? At least he was a backup on team that went to Finals or won with the Celtics. Lynn was the epitimy of why the REd Sox couldn't win the AL East in the late seventies cause of his shitty attitude. Zimmer took the fall for him after the 1980 season.

You were wrong also saying everything I said about Fred Lynn was wrong. I was wrong about the "more than 130 games quote". I said I had "hurricane Hugo" knowledge of the Red Sox, not Fred Lynn with the ANgels and Orioles. If Lynn was an all star from 1975-80, you also agreed he didn't deserve it nine times.

 

Oh where to start with little Mikey here. I will give you an A for effort and not giving up. But you also get an A for being a dumbass.

Yep I like to check out the Internet while I wake up in the mornings, lot's of humor reading the next stupid thing that you will say.

And to why Lynn didn't play more after leaving the Red Sox, oh let's see what answer's to give for this one.

1) I am not a Doctor, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. Who knows, since I don't have that Hurricane knowledge of each and every players health. Maybe he just small nagging injuries all the time, sorta like Dan Morgan with the Panthers.
2) Maybe there was better players on the team at his spot or at least equal in talent and was platooned.
3) Maybe he didn't play all the time just to get your panties in a wedgy.

So now it comes out, you are/were an actual Red Sox fan and are so bitter over sucking that you had to find somebody to blame it on and that was Lynn.

Well could you please define was Hurricane Hugo knowledge is, because it doesn't mean shit when it comes to you.

Yep I agreed that he didn't deserve the All-Star's that he received, but guess what he got them so they still count.

 

Thank you for proving my point. He could hit until the day he retired.

 

So why don't you look this one up and give me some facts instead of guesses? Those must have been some very nagging injuries if he couldn't DH.

I can't remember anybody else worth a damn in the Angels outfield besides Reggie and Carew in the early 80s, and REggie was probably DHing by then. I don't recall any super outfielders for the ORioles in the mid 80s, either. I know WEaver was big on platooning.
