Can he pitch ??

 

Let’s give it a try.

[vegasbob]

Beni got his 500th hit the other night, a lazy pop-up type ground rule double. But the big story is that he just got his 1000th rollover soft groundball to second. Congrats, failed potential. See Middlebrooks, Lavarnway, Travis, etc.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Can he pitch ??

 

If he couldn't, the SOX would already have him.

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

100 years for 5 million. I'd take both those.

 

Mazza doesn't have the durable frame that would last a century. Teams foolish enough to offer that many years would surely regret it the last three or four decades.

But if said team won just one WS in those 100 years, it would be worth it.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Btw, Mazza is already 29, so I wouldn't go more than 90 years at 4 million.

[vegasbob]

Now Brazier, there's a keeper . A 1-2-3 inning proving again that the game could be won with just a few hits

Ok but enough about the pre-2004 Sox and the pre 2016 Cubs

You can't write 92 without the numbers in 29, so there's a chance

For the lack of a nail the shoe was lost. Speaking of which, does anyone here still get their shoes repaired? Seems to be a lost art.

[vegasbob]

If Devers had known to run after he hit the ball, there might be 2 on and 1 out.

Vegas, you are definitely a numbers guy.

We have a great shoe repair shop here in Temecula . Just had them restring a 60 year old Rawlings Trap-Eze glove, awaiting the Sox call to come and pitch.

10-4, Boss

Shortened spring training causes that.

Yup, me too. Everyday I check my voice mail.

[YastrzemskI]

Ok this team should have more than 2 on the board. This NY pitching staff is nothing special at all. The pitching is a separate matter but what’s up with the hitting?

Reminds me where I read recently that before every game the Yankem's trainer has to re-nail shoes to Judge's feet.

[YastrzemskI]

Wow what a play!!!! Especially when the hitter is just jogging to first. But yeah what a play!!!!!!!!

[TylerD]

Completely agreed. Shows what this team is made of. You won’t beat the ya Kees putting up 2 on the board. When do we ever beat them with runs like that!!?? Offense knows they have to put up runs to compete with these guys. f*** we don’t even look like we belong in this game what so ever tonight.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Gardner should have his head circumcised. Of course, that procedure should have been down when he was a baby.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I don't think it's fair that the SOX have one out before the inning starts. I know the powers that be want to shorten the game, but come on.

[vegasbob]

roenicke is a f***wit letting Beni hit vs JDM. JD isn't tired, slumping but still capable

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I'm guessing the SOX will get 3 runs tomorrow.

[vegasbob]

Damn Benintendi from here to eternity, so tired of that useless fraud

[vegasbob]

OK, good luck tomorrow. It has gotten to the point where it is not worth watching.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Having a great 1st season guarantees at least 5 more of futility. And this coming from a guy who no longer gives guarantees.

[TylerD]

Well goodnight.

[TylerD]

Good morning

 

I had diarrhea. How’s everyone?

I hope it wasn't Spam related.
