    Jeez don't go there. Last year it was Lester for Myers.

    Victorino was 3 for 24 in the ALCS but had 4 RBI in the clinching Game 6. Victorino was 2 for 13 in the WS but had 4 RBI in the clinching Game 6.

    David Ortiz is the first non-Yankee to win 3 World Series titles with the same team since Jim Palmer of the Orioles.
  4. Bellhorn04
    John Lackey is the 11th pitcher in history to win 2 World Series clinching games, joining a group that includes Sandy Koufax and Bob Gibson.

    And now it's official. Cherington has hit the f***ing jackpot of a lifetime.

    Unbef***inglievable! Congratulations 2013 Red Sox you beautiful motherf***ers. And congratulations to all the Talksox posters here. Especially the mojo masters. The dream season is complete.

    The Red Sox have had a lot of good fortune with injuries and also with performance levels this year, I think.
  8. Bellhorn04
    The only stiff on the list is Hellickson, and Maddon yanked him out of there after a couple of innings for Moore!

    I fail to see what's wrong with a 275/374/469 line for his first season in AAA.
  10. Bellhorn04
    It's pretty obvious that Farrell and Nieves have been instrumental in the pitching improvements. Lester being Exhibit A.

    1. The year I was hooked was 1969. For no particular reason except that I was a 13-year old baseball fan in search of a team. The Red Sox had first caught my attention with the 1967 team but it wasn't until a couple of years later that I really joined the fold. One cool thing was that I could pick up the games on my AM radio. There was just something about the Sox that drew me in. 2. My favorite team, unfortunately was the 1978 team. Tiant Eck Spaceman Yaz Lynn Rice Fisk Dewey Boomer Rooster Remdawg Carbo For an appealing group of players nothing could touch those guys. But they were tragic. 3. I'll answer that in a day or two.

    Even $100/4 would hamstring the budget for next year though. Taking into account Peavy's 2014 full salary and Lester's option, the Sox are not going to have a huge amount of room under the $189 M threshold. Much also depends on what they do about Napoli, Salty & Drew of course. They will have so much more flexibility by letting Ellsbury walk.

    One other note on Ross: in his last 8 postseason games (7 starts), going back to last year's play-in game with Atlanta, he has 3 multi-hit games, 4 extra-base hits and a .985 OPS.
  14. Bellhorn04
    Well this is it. Bradley may not be able to replicate Ellsbury, but the cost savings will be enormous, and the money will be needed elsewhere.
  15. Bellhorn04
    I still watch parts of that sometime. Especially the 9th inning of ALCS Game 4. That never gets old.
  16. Bellhorn04
    Yep, it ain't over till it's over.
  17. Bellhorn04
    Personally I'd love to have Napoli and Drew back next year. I'd like to have Ellsbury back too, of course, but re-signing him doesn't make sense economically. Just hope that JBJ is the real deal.
  18. Bellhorn04
    It's a funny thing. Theo Epstein tried it both ways: after 2004 he tried to remake the team, letting Pedro, D-Lowe and Cabrera go. After 2007 he tried to keep it together, re-signing Schilling and Lowell.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Salty shouldn't have thrown that ball. And he had a key misplay the game before as well. And he has struck out 19 times in 35 plate appearances in the postseason. He had a very good season. But he's been hurting us in the postseason. Ross is clearly the right choice.
  20. Bellhorn04
    OK, well I guess this is the same as the debate about whether a pitcher should win the regular season MVP. You get into the apples-and-oranges thing. I don't accept the blowout argument though. A lot of Ortiz's hits were either in the Game 1 blowout or in games we lost. That shouldn't diminish his contributions.
  21. Bellhorn04
    But how can you compare a pitcher's performance with a hitter's, especially in a postseason series? Lester has done everything a pitcher can do for his team, Ortiz has done everything a hitter can do. That's why I think co-MVP's would be a logical choice.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Lester's career is far from over, but after this tremendous season, he has moved up high in the echelons of Sox pitchers and he will be remembered for a long time. Sox fans have very long memories. Jim Lonborg is still well-known to Sox fans and Lester's record is considerably greater.
  23. Bellhorn04
    In the 2004 WS the Sox made 8 errors in the first 2 games.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Last time there were co-MVP's was 2001 - Schilling & Randy Johnson.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Co-MVP's - Lester & Ortiz.
