  1. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2016/08/jonathan-papelbon-red-sox-reunion-increasingly-unlikely.html We're 36 hours away from the nightmare scenario of Papelbon signing with the 2016 Sox being over. My fingers are crossed.
  2. The players should be able to catch him before he falls on his ass.
  3. No, just quirks and luck. Talent and good coaching does not matter anymore. Is the game quirky? You betcha! Is luck involved? Of course, you'd be a fool to state otherwise. Talent and coaching are overstated. It doesn't matter if the manager makes the wrong call because they players should be able to overcome it. It doesn't matter if one team has more talent because the managers should be able to make the proper call to make up for the talent gap. If that call is wrong, well the players should be able to overcome it anyway.
  4. How did the Tigers get to the WS? Trades and FA's. I don't think Dombrowski will hold onto all of the prospects. He will move guys to fill more important needs (i.e. starting pitching).
  5. Nope. Baseball boils down to quirks and luck. Talent and good coaching does not matter or have much of an effect.
  6. So $13M plus a prospect to get Buchholz? Nah. He has more value to the Sox.
  7. I am the 1%!!!
  8. I just can't believe he doesn't have a 162 game hitting streak!
  9. That's not entirely true. If the roster was limitless, we'd have signed Lester or Scherzer. The concern was that having Lester on the roster in his late 30's would be a bad contract AND a waste of space on the roster.
  10. Who were the best in season pickups you guys made? Mine: Verlander (thanks waiver wire) Porcello Duffy
  11. A lot of people said over last offseason "pick up his option and trade him." It never happened then and it won't happen now.
  12. Yup, even when the manager makes a few mistakes, it's still the players' fault... NO MATTER WHAT
  13. I wasn't trolling. I was being honest in my assessment. If I make a sarcastic comment, there's usually some truth embedded in it. Honestly, I don't want Buchholz back, but I know for certain that the FO will bring him back.
  14. So about that option that nobody but me thought would get picked up...
  15. Henry is such a great business man that he bought a newspaper... in 2013. Yuck.
  16. This ump sucks.
  17. Babipbabipbabipbabip
  18. Found out it's supposed to be 4th inning.
  19. Have they saluted any troops yet? My brother in law is supposed to be on the field tonight.
  20. Biggus Dickus?
  21. I'd rather JBJ hit leadoff. In a perfect world, Beni would be the leadoff when Pedey is out.
  22. They make enough money to afford any contract that is coming due over the next few years. Worrying about the money aspect is silly when you're consistently one of the top payrolls in the game. http://www.forbes.com/teams/boston-red-sox/ This team is worth $2.3B!!! The players contracts are chump change to a guy like John Henry who is personally worth $2.4B...
  23. At least this series isn't in Tampa. Let's sweep these f***ers.
