  1. Tonight is the Hair Game.
  2. OK, forget I said that. I'm interested. Last night's game was wild.
  3. Ben could have been part of the Evil Empire! http://nypost.com/2015/10/27/yankees-tried-to-hire-departed-red-sox-gm/
  4. Interesting piece by Verducci on Price tipping his pitches vs. the Royals. Jays commentator Gregg Zaun also made note of the at-bat by Gordon in Game 2 where he laid off all of Price's off-speed pitches. Zaun thought it was signals being stolen. http://www.si.com/mlb/2015/10/24/royals-blue-jays-alcs-clinch-pennant
  5. The Jays closer Osuna is only 20 - are you saying Gibbons should have stayed away from him too?
  6. The question of whether Ben will get another job takes me back to when Francona was fired and there were people who thought he would have a hard time getting another manager job.
  7. Sanchez was the Jays setup man by the end of the season and was very good in that role with a 2.39 ERA and an .87 WHIP. But the Jays were vulnerable at the back end of the pen, that's for sure. Gibbons taking out Price there can be argued either way. I don't think it was a flat-out bonehead move by any means. Yost bringing in Madson was a different story. That was a bad move that he got away with.
  8. I'm really not that interested at this point, because I don't care very much about either team. I was hoping for the Jays and the Cubs. But I'll probably watch some of the Series.
  9. What I want to know is whether they offered the job to Ben first.
  10. We hear this a lot about the 2004 ALCS - the Yankees ran out of pitching, and all they had left was Kevin Brown. What is sometimes overlooked is that the Sox starter for Game 7, D-Lowe, had a 5.42 ERA that year (compared to 4.09 for Brown) and was originally left out of the postseason rotation. We were desperate too. D-Lowe came up huge when least expected.
  11. Price was cruising even better in Game 2 of the series. Then the roof caved in in the 7th. There, now I've settled this.
  12. I would have removed Price there too. In the regular season Rios has hit 382/432/735 against Price in 37 PA's. In an earlier at-bat in last night's game he hit a foul ball that was almost a home run and then hit a bullet up the middle for a single.

    I know exactly what you're saying. But it was anticlimactic in a good way. And I have to confess that until we got the final out in Game 4 I was still being tormented by thoughts that we might find a way not to win it.
  14. No more baseball that I care about until April.
  15. I agree about Yost but the move by Gibbons made sense because Rios owns Price.
  16. Those are the exact same error messages we get when the Boston.com forum goes down.
  17. You just don't see many front 3's like the Mets have right now, that good and that young. They have really hit the motherlode all of a sudden. As I'm sure many people here know, the Mets got both Syndergaard and d'Arnaud from the Jays for R. A. Dickey. If that doesn't give you the chills about trading prospects...
  18. That is very fair-minded and magnanimous of you.
  19. For those numbers, he just screams albatross to me.
  20. I liked the Pablo signing for the most part. But I was very surprised that they signed Pablo and Hanley at virtually the same time. It seemed strange - definitely felt like one of those 'let's make a splash' situations.
  21. I have seen some guesses on Chris Davis at 6 years/144 million. How would you like your albatross - rare, medium or well done?

    When Morgan hit the ball that Evans caught, I thought it was long gone. That was when I realized for the first time how deep right field at Fenway is. For it to turn into an inning-ending double play seemed like a miracle. Morgan would get his revenge the next night, unfortunately.
  23. I can see Dombro being open to trading Swihart in the right deal.
  24. Not me. I've been saying f*** the Mets since 1986.
  25. Oh, I'm sure they will.
