    I swear the web host deliberately waited until the game started to fix the server

    I just looked at my phone and saw a message that Pomeranz is replacing Workman on the WS roster, and just reading that melted my eyes and face like the Nazis at the end of Indiana Jones.

    What’s wrong with Smoltz?

    Bernie Williams has four rings, Ted Williams has zero. Eli Manning has two rings, Dan Marino has zero.

    As long as every team you root for continues to lose, I'm a happy man.

    In a league with half the number of teams, with only one postseason series. He had a lot less to compete against. On top of that, at the time about a quarter of the population was barred from playing in Major League Baseball. Imagine those Sox playing against 30 teams all season, then through 3 rounds of the postseason against teams that included the best Negro League stars of the time. He was definitely successful, but like those Yankees teams of the days when they were winning five seasons in a row or 15 out of 20 or whatever, I grade on a curve.

    I vote Francona, by the way. His seasons in Boston went: WS Championship, ALDS appearance, no postseason, WS Championship, ALCS appearance to game 7, ALDS, no postseason, no postseason. That's 8 seasons, with two WS championships, an ALCS that went down to the wire, and two mediocre showings in ALDSs, which is far more than any Sox manager in the previous 80 years. Until Cora at least matches Terry for three or four seasons, he's the standard.

    Alright, I figured it out. I used the last 9 managers chronologically and Other for the rest, since there are only 10 slots. I debated about that since adding Valentine as an option seems unnecessary, but whatever.

    I should have looked at this thread first. I merged the other one because I figured we could talk about Alex Cora's rankings compared to other managers in the context of the larger debate about best manager in Red Sox history. I guess I didn't figure that this thread was just a joke taking up front page space. And I can't seem to edit the poll options.

    Why not just put JD at first? If David Ortiz could do it...

    No way the WS goes 7. Any one of the top 3 AL teams (Sox, Yanks, Astros) is 1000% better than the top two NL teams. It won't be a sweep but there's no way the WS goes past 6 games.

    Wow, I just checked Wikipedia, and there have been two Reggie Williams in the NBA, NFL, and MLB, for a total of six Reggie Williams. Plus a Reggie Williams in the CFL, and a professional cricket player. All we need now is a Reggie Williams in the NHL and one on the PGA tour.

    I agree 100%. I miss Ellsbury. Remind me again, how did Ellsbury do this season with the Yankees?

    5 days of rest for the bullpen that gutted out four straight wins. Now on to beat the s*** out of Milwaukee
  15. Youk Of The Nation
    1 more f***ing out you ginger *******

    Even before all of that came out, he belonged in prison just for making “Ghost Dad”.

    There isn’t a paper bag large enough for me to hyperventilate into for the entire ninth inning
  18. Youk Of The Nation
    Eovaldi possibilities out of the bullpen, I was not expecting this.
  19. Youk Of The Nation
    Dammit, Barnes. You were so good until just now.
  20. Youk Of The Nation
    David Price is pretty cool.
  21. Youk Of The Nation
    This f***ing guy.
  22. Youk Of The Nation
    f*** you too, Springer.
  23. Youk Of The Nation
    Bregman is going to be my least favorite Yankee in a few years.
  24. Youk Of The Nation
    Sox won a game against Verlander in 2013 on nothing but a solo HR.
  25. Youk Of The Nation
    True, but his hitting has been atrocious in this series.
