6/4 @ KC Royals

[vegasbob]

I may just be rationalizing but I am not convinced Chara's game is suited to the Blues style of play. They all get down below the face off circle. Sometimes nobody is higher than the face off circle. So they end up skating in short jab steps and tight circles....fast acting muscle skating. Chara ends up looking even slower than usual as they have taken four steps before Chara takes one. He goes to where the play just was and that long stick really does not come into play as much.

 

Jung, I think you may have hit on why it seems Chara is late a lot. Not just age but his size actually works against him. Doesn't matter now, it seems, but good assessment. What was Gretazky's comment long ago, " I don't go where the puck is, I go to where it is going to be"

It was free on ESPN Sunday night.

 

Sure but tainted by A-Fraud.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

It’s not “early” anymore. It will be the all star break before we know it. This team has serious issues winning back to back games.

 

Devers only one I'm voting for at this point.

[Jasonbay44]

Wow. Bad luck there for JD.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Devers only one I'm voting for at this point.

 

Maybe Bogie.

I watched YAZ play for years and I never saw him smile during a game. Of course, YAZ wasn't being paid millions of dollars. That might have made him smile.

 

It’s a crime that he never won a WS. His post season numbers speak for themselves.

[Swiharts Ghost]

Omg we scored !!!!

Nope....doubt it

[Tedballgame]

Can't come any closer to a HR than that.

[vegasbob]

JDM just can't hit it out and be done anymore, LOL. He comes through in ways Beni never will come close to. Beni rolls over so many ground balls to the right side, but with Mookie on second, no outs, he flies out to center.

[Swiharts Ghost]

Lol JDM like yeah no

A lot of players tried to “be where the puck was going to be”. But Wayne was far and away the best at it. The guy had a nose for that like he was half wolf.

[Jasonbay44]

Devers needs to get run home here

[Jasonbay44]

Good s*** Xander

[YastrzemskI]

The other game day thread was “closed”??

Game is tied... let’s GO!

[Jasonbay44]

Devers has some underrated wheels

How did that happen. JBay, the mod was on it too

[vegasbob]

Must have been the shock from taking the lead, as I called for the 6th inning

[Jasonbay44]

My bad guys I need to stop posting on phone. I accidentally locked thread

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Another stat from the KC feed. The SOX have the highest slugging percentage and OPS against RH relievers in MLB.

Yeah that was weird. Anyway, 3-2 SOX

Gretzky was living proof that women could play in the NHL.

There is a close thread "box" at the end of posts, and when I post on my phone I sometimes accidentally hit it. My bad.

It’s ok... the Skanks lost tonight so we forgive you!

[oldtimer]

Red Sox put together some really good at bats. The triple by JDM, Devers drawing a walk rather than swing outside the zone, Xanders flying to right was a textbook way to bring a run in. Holt then doubled. Even Chavis lineout was a good attempt. Love to see the Sox put together a string of good AB's like those.

Yankees lost. Sox winning, rays losing. Tonight could be a great night

[d-money]

Plz win this game. How sweeping the damn royals.

[d-money]

You can never trust Rodriguez even when he pitches a decent game.

[YastrzemskI]

Gretzky was living proof that women could play in the NHL.

 

Hehe.. I remember when he left to play in NY and Ranger fans were saying “What’s wrong with Mark Messier” because Wayne was just better, especially in the playoffs. Rangers had. Window there from 96-98.

[jung]

Grrrrrrr....Grrrrrrrrr We take the lead on another Holt hit and the thread gets closed! I figured it was you JB.

 

Just pulling your leg.
