I wouldn't say we're closing the gap, based on the talent and results of last year. I need to wait and see what ERod and Sale do when they come back.

The AL East is leaving us behind

My grandfather, a lifelong Sox fan, passed away in June 2014 after several years of health issues. I remember feeling a sense of relief and closure after the 2013 WS. It definitely seemed like that team was keeping him alive. Wonder if the same was true for Tommy. We know he had long term health issues.

Glad he got to see another Dodgers title first

2018 TalkSox Fantasy Baseball League -- Mike Grace Memorial League
Thunder replied to a700hitter's topic in Contests/Prizes
I'm in. More fun with a 162 game season. We might want to wait a few months for some of the people that predominantly post here during the season (like me) to come back -
Not if Bieber sticks to his musical career like he should be doing. At some point, he's going to burn himself out
-
Maybe in October we'll be partying like it's 1986! With a different outcome of course...

The AL was just having too much fun, so the NL decided to take a stand. But then again, the NL has won 7 of the last 11 World Series, so what the hell do I know?

I've been high on this guy for a long time. I have family in Akron who are big Cleveland Baseball Team fans and they idolized him for years. I would love to have him, even if he's half the guy he used to be. Still better than 3/5 of our rotation - when healthy
-
Very interesting move for both teams
-
Tell us how you really feel...

Who wouldn't want to watch a bunch of dudes fight each other for 2.5 hours? It's even more fun in person. Boston is a phenomenal hockey city. Can't wait to start going to more hockey games
-
Probably because you enjoy it and embrace it so much. I think the debate is not over whether or not it is in your face, but whether or not you are bothered by it.

More and more recently. The youth movement on the PGA Tour and notable efforts to grow the game with children have dramatically increased the number of youth/young adult fans. I know a bunch of people from HS and college that are as crazy into golf (both playing and watching) as I am

Look, there's no way around it: Football is my favorite sport. It always will be, and there's no changing that. So for me, watching the stuff in between plays of a football game is more entertaining than watching the stuff in between pitches of a baseball game. There's no right or wrong answer here; it's whatever your preference is. At least something is guaranteed to happen in every play of football. It would be great if every baseball hitter could put the first pitch of the AB in play, but that ain't ever going to happen.

I'm certainly a fan of the LPGA Tour, and not just because the best American stars are around my age. Great tournament last week in Houston
-
I find it easier to ignore the advanced stats in football, though, since there is much more going on at basically all times.
-
I turned 6 in October 2004. My experience was similar.
-
I disagree. I don't appreciate it being thrown in my face whenever I watch a game on TV (I'm looking at you, Alex Speier). I also don't get involved in statistical threads on here for that reason
-
Hey, if the Rays play home games on the moon, they might finally lead the league in attendance. I heard Marvin the Martian is a huge baseball fan
-
Exactly. That's what I was going for when I posed the question. It certainly has turned me off to the game. Even in 2018, I would really only intently watch games if we were on a win streak. Otherwise, I flip back and forth between other shows, or have it on in the background while I did homework or something. But, attending a game in person is still very enjoyable to me, largely because I can choose to ignore the stats if I want to, and because there is more to attending a game than the game itself, so you don't get bogged down in the pitching changes and other stoppages.
-
Understandable. That's why I very clearly stated that was the most enjoyable fan experience of my lifetime. I have no idea what 75-78 could have been like. But, I was also talking about the game in general. I think the timeframe I mentioned was the height of the game's popularity as well. It has certainly dropped off since then.
-
On a totally unrelated note, I dug up a framed photo of the 2007 Red Sox that I forgot I had, and during a conversation that followed with a friend, I came to this conclusion: Those 5-10 years between the Steroid Era and the development of Statcast, AWS and advanced statistics were the best time to be an MLB fan (at least in my lifetime), and I don't think it will ever be that good again. I would say I'm talking from 2007 to 2015 or so. Thoughts?

Well, he's certainly been using the penis pills since he stopped playing. Those count as PEDs, just in a different usage of the word "performance"...

Not without steroids. I swear if I see one more Frank Thomas Nugenix commercial....
