  1. Ah s***. I guess we will have to go all Johnny Mnemonic with your squash.
  2. Open up the binder in your head.
  3. Ah what the f*** do you know anyways?
  4. Lol. I am no mod but I know how things go and how they work here at Talksox. We need to can this political stuff soon before it turns into a giant s*** storm.
  5. If you were alive back then and living in Eastern New England you would have an understanding of how special that years was. It was magic. Then came Bob Gibson and Lou Brock. I doubt very much that you will have approval of your post from any long time Sox fan. It's no problem, though. I here ignorance is still bliss.
  6. Or Dave Roberts. I wonder where Gathright is and what he is doing? Probably a street performer eaking out a living jumping over Beemers.
  7. Yeah he was a true man of ideas. Good ones too. Like Day Glo baseballs, white shoes, and handlebar mustaches. These were not marketing ideas, they were clearly Innovations that made today's game better. I get it. One more thing. I was alive and watching all this happen while you were still dead and had no idea what baseball was.
  8. You Sir, are an innovator.
  9. I don't disagree. We should not celebrate or memorialize people who did a lot of hateful and bad things that were not just. I just don't see Yawkey way as a conspicuous example and I have heard nothing about it until today. Will they also remove the Morse Code from the wall and remove any mention of Yawkey from the stadium?
  10. What controversy? It's not like people are talking about how Tom Yawkey and his Red Sox were a racist organization. It may be true but it's not exactly water bumbler conversation. I don't give a s*** one way or another. I think the topic is f***ing dumb.
  11. True.
  12. That is what I saw earlier in the season. Not so much lately. He does still seem to have a weakness when stretching toward right field for throws from the opposite side.
  13. Yaz was the best.
  14. Aggressive. He could have been out by a considerable distance if the relay throw had been closer to ideal. It was a gamble that could win the game or it would fail and the game would remain tied giving the other team another chance to beat you. I take that chance most of the time. Stupid would have been to have put out by a good throw that arrives at the plate 15-30 feet before you do.
  15. I have now watched the final play of this game about 20 times on social media. Maybe it's just the edibles speaking but boy I think that play is why I love baseball so much. There was so much to that sequence of events I could talk for hours about each aspect, every movement of the ball. Yeah my team won so it's even sweeter. I just wanted to say if there is someone in your life that does not appreciate baseball, just get them to watch this play. Pretty cool stuff.
  16. I can't remember anyone saying Moreland is "bad" defensively. He is very good and has a good arm. He is just not as good as one would envision given his Gold Glove award.
  17. I was not sure his name was Washington but I remember his white cleats and that he was black.
  18. So you are a Blue Bombardier! I live in the Land of NA. We have Red Rocketeers here.
  19. Charley Finley did this with a sprinter on the As. I don't think it was more than a PR move.
  20. You had me at Plattsburgh!!!!!!
  21. Well I guess there is a silver lining among some dark clouds after all.
  22. It's not like anyone expected Moreland to be anything but a stop-gap .230 hitting, 20HR, glovey type. He looks like who he is and what he has been. Although I have not seen the Gold Glove play yet.
