    So it's been a few years now, how do you think Manfred's doing as commissioner?

    Don't go there, girlfriend....

    They should do away with the MVP award and do away with World Series parades. Just stupidity.

    Question should be why can't ANYONE repeat since the Yankees?

    My collecting days are pretty much over. I went in more for the jersey/bat cards than the base cards, and I definitely don't have the money for these ones.

    It's been under 20 mil for most of the 2000s, except for spiking in 2016 because people wanted to see the Cubs make history. I can't say for sure, but factors probably include the games starting at 8.30 or so on the east coast, the length of the games, dislike of Fox's coverage, and perhaps people are tiring of baseball in general. Also, there's been a lot of talk of MLB failing to properly market its big stars like Trout. IIRC, in a recent survey naming the 100 top sports stars, only two or three were baseball players and none was an active player. Attendance has plateaued in the low 70 millions, but dropped to 69 million this season. MLB might have a problem on its hands.

    Well, I guess one good thing is it's not going to be Cleveland/Golden State AGAIN this year...

    I'm happy to be wrong on Porcello. I thought we'd never see a return on that level of investment.

    I don't begrudge your debating the MVP award, but I've never cared about them. I'm more focused on the fact the team won the title.

    Buck is alright, but he's bland.

    Like his old pal, Tim McCarver... Remember, all you kids watching at home, any batter with two strikes should take a pitch. And is Joe Morgan still around? Every single play of every game, regardless of result, old Joe will tell you what the player did wrong and how it should be done correctly, like when he used to play.

    So sorry for your loss, Youk. What you wrote was absolutely true. Addicts need safe, affordable treatment, not condemnation. I don't think non-addicts realize the terrible hold addiction has on addicts, and how hard it is to stay clean.

    And thanks to Thunder for NOT jinxing Price with the 2 ER prediction.

    Chris Sale is a Wu Tang Clan fan. Before he came on, he said: "Mr Kimbrel, sit down, I'm in charge of the war."

    MLB should set up a task force to study this, lead by Zack Hample.

    This series has settled the DH question for me. The NL must adopt it. A team like the Sox shouldn't be penalized by being forced to bench a player like Benintendi. Not when folk are paying top dollar for tickets to see the pitchers strike out weakly.

    I think he needs to be made President for Life after his mojo brought home a WS title.
  20. Northern Star
    I was about to say, it would be ballsy if he WAS talking about the contract.
  21. Northern Star
    Nah, you guys deserve this win more than me, living and dying with the team everyday, watching or listening to the games.
  22. Northern Star
    Finally got something out of that trade when it looked like a huge bust.
  23. Northern Star
    The playoffs were perfect in terms of beating the Yankees, then the defending champs. I really thought the Dodgers would put up more of a fight, but like you said, who's complaining?

    Knock knock Who's there? The 2018 World Series Champions Boston Red Sox

    There's an app called RadioInSync cable, but it doesn't appear to be well-rated.
