9/8 vs Yanks

[TylerD]

Patriots utterly dominating the Steelers.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Choke on this Sox fans:The Red Sox--Bambino curse began in 1919 after winning the Ws in 1918. From 1901 to 1918 the Sox won 5 WS. From 2001 (or '04 to be technical) the Sox won 4, eerily similar. Get ready because the reset will cover the next 86 years, mostly because of Beni and JBJr

 

Based on my age and bad health habits, I believe 2018 will by my last WS win.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Ya I may have to change this picture.

 

You definitely will have to next year.

Weep for the next generation.

[moonslav59]

I wonder if about 82 other professional teams, including the Sox, look at the Patriots and wonder why they cannot do something similar. Year after year for two decades they are competitive if not champions

 

So, they need to start cheating, too?

[moonslav59]

We'll win again within 5 years. Book it.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Female announcer still believes SOX have a chance at PO's. It did accomplish one thing; it shut up the 2 morons sitting next to her.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

You definitely will have to next year.

 

Or you could keep it just for the comedy value.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

We'll win again within 5 years. Book it.

 

BOOK IT, Dano! 5 years, MOON? Could you make it 4?

[Station 13]

Tanaka allowed 2 base runners every inning avage. Should have done more, Xander kills them in half of those innings.

That's a sad comment from a smart man. The opportunity to cheat was there for all the losing suckers who are still wondering what happened to them.

[Station 13]

Do it now. Sargent Devers demands it.

[Station 13]

You definitely will have to next year.

 

Why wait?

[vegasbob]

Moon, I will take your bet that the Red Sox will not win the WS again by end of playoffs 2024. In fact, I'll pay your proposition if they just make the WS much less win. How about 2 seats on the Monster in a Yankee game. I always wanted a souvenir HR ball.

[Station 13]

Pack your bags Rick, or someone will help you do it.

They could win next year. Look at the Yankees rotation, nobody has an ERA under 4. Our BP kills any of our chances to get a Wild Card. We should have it in the bags with one.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

At least Holt's batting in the bottom of the inning. These throwers are going to get Devers killed out there.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The SOX offense has made Fenway into a pitchers' ballpark this year. The SOX starting pitching has kept it a hitters' ballpark.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

When a team mails games in, does that require more than one stamp?

[moonslav59]

That's a sad comment from a smart man. The opportunity to cheat was there for all the losing suckers who are still wondering what happened to them.

 

So, it would be smart for other teams to cheat, too?

[moonslav59]

One forever stamp only.

Hit by a Yankee?

The SOX definitely didn't cheat this year; however, the fans may feel they got cheated.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

One forever stamp only.

 

Forever, or until you have to buy new stamps. Whatever comes first.

[vegasbob]

Hit by a Yankee?

 

I didn't say by a Yankee. You are in a s***** mood as are the Red Sox and I'm playing you just for the fun of it. It's not cheating, It's needling

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

A week ago I posted the SOX would pass the Rays. I now admit the error of that statement and my only excuse is that I was drinking PBR at the time I posted that.

Some of you take this stuff a bit too seriously. Our mutually enjoyed pro baseball team has essentially let us down in a big way this year after beating the world in 2018. If you can't laugh at it for what it is, consider a new hobby

[vegasbob]

In case some of the game thread regulars don't look at the other forum topics much, it is amazing to see how deep in the weeds some of the brighter bulbs on this site are stuck dissecting the season. What was fairly obvious earlier has finally become harsh reality so the comments become more and more esoteric.

I'm too old to start a new hobby. Oh wait, hockey season starts next month, so my new hobby will be rooting for the Bruins. GO BRUINS!

[TylerD]

You definitely will have to next year.

 

Yup. One of the worst seasons for a top three guy that I can’t remember
