  1. Good win and Febles have previously worked within the Sox org too. No red flags yet.
  2. 1988 team had not a lot of talent? Evans, Rice, Clemens, Boggs, Burks, Greenwell...
  3. Years later, Bill Lee said "He was easygoing. We played well under him. He was a very knowledgeable baseball guy. He handled players well. He was one of my all-time favorites."
  4. Johnson was named 1975’s Major League Manager of the Year by The Sporting News. And once again he was given the St. Louis Brownie of the Year Award by those who still kept the faith. Sportswriters covering the World Series noted that Johnson had become more bitter, was livid regarding the Armbrister incident, and was observed as becoming “surly and quick-tempered in his relations with the World Series press.” Former Red Sox manager Dick Williams empathized with Johnson, noting the pressure, and called him an “intense, inward” but “outstanding” person who simply hadn’t adjusted as well to dealing with the press as Williams himself had.7 Red Sox pitcher Bill Lee had his criticisms, expressed in the immediate aftermath of the World Series: “Johnson has been falling out of trees all summer and landing on his feet.”8
  5. Aren't all of my posts more credible than his?
  6. Cora is going to win one WS before the cliff happens. Then as the team is plummeting off the cliff, he's going to sprout wings like an eagle and help the team soar to another one. I just can't put him above Tito yet, because he'd need to win at least 4 WS titles and he'd probably only win 3. The 2004 title is basically double credit for Tito.
  7. Part of my determination is based on how he coached the PawSox in 90 when my family had season tickets. He was also overrated as a player (the same JAWS as John Valentin).
  8. Good point.
  9. JD Martinez signed with Boras. This has no impact on if the Sox can sign him.
  10. I was born after the 76 season. Pesky managed in 80.
  11. Tatum has been playing great so far. At this point, he seems like a better fit for the C's than Tatum or Ball would have been. Brown has continued to improve upon the flashes we saw last year. This team could be really really good.
  12. Putting a statue up the middle would be a great way to help the team's defense!
  13. I'm pretty sure they outright said that they were staying under the cap this year! There's no way EE was coming here!!!
  14. First it would need to actually appear.
  15. More likely just an easy NESN spot.
  16. I can only do my lifetime: Best to Worst: Tito Alex Cora Jimmy Williams John Farrell Joe Morgan Grady Little McNamara Zimmer Houk Kennedy Hobson Kerrigan Bobby V Pesky
  17. We'll finally finish litigating this issue with this thread!
  18. Everyone thinks they are the ones being realistic. Surely everyone is crazy but me! My reality is the right one!
  19. Hurst drafted in 1976 and Lester in 2002, so about 25. Yuck!
  20. But you forgot it though.
  21. My apologies. I've been pretty busy this week and haven't been able to keep up. Good news though, I should have a lot more time on my hands next week to continue my onslaught of shitposting!
  22. In retirement, Kim suffered from short-term memory loss, and was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's disease.[1] He died on February 15, 2015, in Phoenix at 64.
  23. Clemens/Hurst/Lester Those are the only decent starters developed in my lifetime.
  24. Just replacing one negative offensive WAR guy for another.
