The 1978 playoff game is engraved in my head forever. That was my worst day as a Sox fan, with 1986 Game 6 a close second.

Hell yeah, real wrestling is one of the original sports. I can't relate to it, mind you...you have to be in serious shape for that one.
-
I'll tell you what golf has that hardly any other sports have. Ethics and sportsmanship. Golfers call penalties on themselves. Golfers treat each other with respect. It's one of the few sports left you see consistently civilized behavior.

I didn't say I thought Pomeranz was a better starter than Wright. Their numbers are pretty close, the samples are pretty small. All I've said is that I'd like to see what Pomeranz can do out of the gate. If he busts put him back in the pen and keep him there as the swing guy for the rest of 2017-2018. Just a personal preference for how I'd like to see things go, honestly. You and moon have good arguments as well. And all our opinions will be given the same weight by the Sox FO.

Golf is much a sport as baseball. They're both primarily games of skill in which athleticism is an asset, but not a necessity.
-
That's a major overstatement. Last year he had a 2.01 ERA in his first 14 starts and a 5.55 ERA in his last 10 starts. If that's amazingly consistent I'd hate to see inconsistent.
-
Yeah, that's probably part of it. With knuckleballers there are some other factors that come into play. Atmospheric conditions, passed balls etc. Every outings is a bit of an adventure.
-
Part of my thinking is that I feel more of a sense of urgency with Pomeranz, because he's only under control for 2 years. (Wright is under control for 4 years.) If Pomeranz is shuffled between rotation and bullpen throughout 2017 then we go into 2018, his final year of control, not really knowing what he's capable of as a starter. I see your points, believe me. This is just my personal take on one of the few baseball things we have to talk about.
-
What I'm really trying to say is that Pomeranz is still more of an X factor and it would be nice to find out sooner rather than later if he can be a solid starter in the AL East or not.
-
I'd like to see Pomeranz in the opening day rotation to see what he's got, basically.
-
moonslav's answer was right according to Baseball-Reference.
-
Yeah, no clue why he'd say that. GM's are funny dudes sometimes.
-
And anyone with more than two functioning brain cells knows Steven Wright is not an athlete.
-
Like baseball, in other words. You can be a blob and make 100 million playing baseball.
-
Get serious. Any sport can be torn down if you try. What's baseball? A guy throws a ball, another guy hits it, another guy catches it. There's some running around. But most of the time the players are just standing there.

We need more female posters.

Golf is a very difficult game for the average person. I speak from experience. Unless you've played yourself you have no idea how good the pros are. They are consistently shooting in the 60's on courses that are vastly longer and tougher than the courses most average players play on. It's a game that can be played from the time you're young until you're old. You can drink while you're playing on a lot of courses. And as Spud mentioned earlier, there are hot chicks too.

I'm more into Dating Naked.

It's a great sport.
-
Poor us. Guess I'm lucky I'm also a golf fan. It's a sport that virtually never shuts down.
-
I'm having my coffee with Hazelnut-flavored liquid Coffemate. I'm kind of hooked on this crap now.
-
You tricked me, I thought you were going to propose a trade for Abreu.
-
To me it's clear that the team was extremely disappointed, probably even disgusted, with the way he showed up last year. Here's a guy they're paying 19 million a year for 4 more years, and they've got him fighting it out with an untested guy with mediocre minor league numbers.
-
The way he looked last spring certainly concerned the Sox FO. They made it clear pretty early that he was competing with Shaw for the job.
-
Was it really a weak point? How did our pen stack up against the rest of the league?
