I've been watching a YouTube video '1967 in One Hour.' I love music more than I love the Sox. When asked what was my favorite year for music, w/o hesitation I reply 1967.

Also, not a bad year for the Sox.

We have Abreu back in the 4 slot, today.

Toro is at 1B and batting 6th (YUCK!)

Wong 7th

DHam 8th at 2B

Gotta hope Bello has his stuff or the great run support he's been getting, so far.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I've got no problem with Hammy at 2nd. It's not like KC is on fire.

Another bench day for KC who’s been really struggling, and DHam has started to hit a little bit, so good move.

[Hugh2]

Makes sense, Cora needs to rest his guys, and with a RHP on the mound it's a good to day to get someone like D-Ham some at bats. 

Campbell has been hitting the ball better lately, with nothing to show for it.  I have faith in the kids. 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Cora doing his typical Daddy Day Care speech. It really gets tiresome.

I mean, most guys don't play 162

[Hugh2]

especially catchers. 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Btw, why can't one of these Sox talking heads admit that the Sox going after Soto was a complete scam?

I was referring to his response regarding Campbell playing 1st base.

[Hugh2]

Wait you're listening to the pre-game, I thought you were commenting on the lineup.

Sox could really use a win.  I think they will win, because I'm starting to think this .500 magnet is real.

I don't think it was, didn't they offer him $700? I think they just got beat.

They offered him 400 mil knowing he would never sign for that. Complete scam.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Nice play by Hammy.

Has anyone notified Dobbins that he is now the Sox 2nd best starter?

Brandon, figure out which Sox team you are posting for.  This is pretty weak

1969 would be the year for me.

The first 2 Led Zeppelin albums, Goodbye Cream, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Yes, Blind Faith, At San Quentin, UmmaGumma, Let It Bleed and my favorite car that I have ever owned, a '69 Firebird Ram Air III convertible.

Moon,   Bello is never ready for the first inning and showed that again today.  Digging the hole early.

Yup, that was definitely a great year for music.

[vegasbob]

Sox hitters not quite ready in the first either.

Yup

Carchup baseball is LOSING baseball.

Another couple of runs for the Braves should do it.

IMHO, the 8 years from 1965-1972 will never be topped for great R&R.

I probably lean more 1967-1975

[FredLynn]

Bello just isn’t ready for the ML, at least not better than a #4.

[vegasbob]

Maybe Story should pull the ball a little to avoid the 400' flyouts

I'm guessing LZ was your favorite group. Mine was the Kinks .

Baby steps.

[vegasbob]

Wong stands at the plate holding his bat while 2 center cuts  get called on him.  he is clueless and his throws to 2nd base are drifting high and wide. 

He will need to go  later in 2025

You of little faith. Have you already forgotten last night's game? And this is coming from an atheist.
