  1. I agree. I love JBJ but those three back to back to back are getting it done.
  2. Oh really. What if I told you that I could get us a place to stay in London for the days of those games for free? It would be really cool to sit in a London stadium and watch the Sox humiliate the Yankees. London ain't Ft. Myers ol' dude.
  3. I fully agree and I think he can be had for far less than 5/90. How many teams do you see Kimbrel getting that type of offer from? Who are they?
  4. Based on the improvement at the plate ( batting ) I thought that I saw last year I was hoping to see a good performance this year. Not only is he sub-Mendoza, he is showing warts BEHIND the plate as well. I am no longer buying into "He handles pitchers well and they like him". I have never heard any Sox pitcher bitch about Swihart. Most people on this site thing Swi has never hit and that his time as a prospect is spent. I say ********. The kid can hit and he deserves a protracted look.
  5. On a positive note I liked the catch by JD in the gap. I liked the Nunez slide. I liked Mookie's blast. Price will be okay eventually if he remains healthy. Boy did he suck donkey dicks tonight.
  6. He does. I am very disappointed with him so far this season. I'm starting to think like Natick. Time for Swi to get a shot.
  7. It would be. Short of that getting on base 2-3 times and scoring a couple times would suit me.
  8. I hope Blake has an impact.
  9. I saw Mays, Clememte, and another five tool player Mickey Mantel, all play when I was just getting into baseball in the mid-'60s. Mays was all but all done when I saw him with the Mets late in his career. Clemente was one of those incredible forbidden fruit players from the NL that you wish you could see more often. Mantel had no knees and could not run. His liver was well on it's way to being cirrhotic.
  10. Yeah they may run short of popcorn and beer hawkers. "Get yur beah heah" in a Spanish accent.
  11. I still say there is a good chance of keeping Kimbrel. Has anyone considered what teams would be in the market for him? Also, how many teams can go 5/90 or whatever for any players, much less a player who plays 60-70 innings? I would assume that most of the "Haves", the teams in major markets, all have an effective closer. Why would they want to jump horses? How many teams with smaller payrolls will show serious interest in him? I just thinks that MAYBE the market for a premium closer is not as robust as we assume it to be in these conversations. I think that he can be secured by a deal for say, 3/48 -4/60 or so. This is all just my OPINION. A good negotiator could get this done if the approach to Kimbrel is done well. DD and company may be proficient in their jobs but I have seen very little if any of good negotiating.
  12. Great stuff. I love hearing stories like this.
  13. I've said it many times before, Mookie Betts alone is worth the price of admission. I'm hoping that he remains healthy and continues to play for the Sox for a long time. That wrist must have been really bothering him last season. He seems to be back to his old self.
  14. Who are they and what would the Sox have to pay them?
  15. What a glorious day to be at Fenway. I hope my friend had fun.
  16. Typical Pom. He looked lousy for 3 innings then great for 2-3 innings. Ultimately he did his job keeping his team in the game while Mookie raked.
  17. Yaz is my favorite Sox player of all time. I did not see Williams. Betts is better than Yaz. His speed in a real advantage.
  18. Like holy s*** Marcus!
  19. Shoot him up with platelets and wait.
  20. Okay Smokin' Joe shut them down. f***. Not a good start. Sox need more runs.
