    Don't get the reference, but Bateman is an excellent actor.

    On the other hand Ellsbury replaced him and helped us win in 2007 and 2013. To me there was no harm done to anyone. But the real point for me is that anybody who helped us win a ring, especially the 2004 ring, I find it hard to say anything bad about. All those years we had our hearts broken, I thought if we ever did win one, that team would all be treated as heroes forever. In 2005 when Foulke was really struggling, Bob Ryan wrote something nasty about him, and I e-mailed him to protest. Ryan was pretty cool, I e-mailed him maybe 4 times about various things and he answered every one of them.

    Was looking forward to this. Stick around and post some more!

    I'll never say anything bad about him. The dude locked up ALCS Game 7 for us. That's immortal.

    Like Fred. Heck, Fred even wanted Tom Brady jettisoned...this was before titles 4, 5 and 6.
  6. Bellhorn04
    Yep. As did Tiant, Damon and some others, but I have nothing against them.
  7. Bellhorn04
    Yes, but I have my little pet narrative that Foulke sacrificed his arm for a Red Sox ring, and I'm perfectly happy with it. 😄

    Boggs and Clemens, the most unlikable Red Sox greats.

    As we have been talking about, the 1978 team had 4 Hall of Famers, 2 who many think should be Hall of Famers, and one that could be argued had Hall of Fame talent but couldn't stay healthy enough.

    Age, sure, but 2003 and 2004 were two of his best seasons.
  11. Bellhorn04
    Possibly because of being overtaxed in the 2024 postseason, but who knows.
  12. Bellhorn04
    Keith Foulke was very heroic in 2004.
  13. Bellhorn04
    Schilling is an absolute ding-dong, but he played a big part in winning 2 rings.
  14. Bellhorn04
    Stanley had the incredible misfortune of being intimately involved in two of the most crushing losses in team history, 8 years apart.
  15. Bellhorn04
    Wow, pretty eye-opening about how pitching dominates in the offseason. I know some of that has to do with fewer off-days, which results in your best pitchers covering a higher percentage of innings. Now, to start some trouble, this is also why Big Papi really was clutch! 😉

    Has anybody noticed how low-scoring the LDS games have been so far? I just ran the numbers and it's pretty incredible. In 10 games we have a grand total of 54 runs and 117 hits. Teams are averaging 2.7 runs and 5.85 hits per game. The most any team has scored in a game is 5 runs, which has happened twice.

    I changed positions on it when the offseason was over and we had only signed Giolito.
  18. Bellhorn04
    Xander's first season with SD was strong, but he's been very mediocre in the years 2024-2026.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Betts is still playing at a star level. Bogey has been no more than average with San Diego. Betts 36.5 bWAR in 7 seasons with LA - 5.2 per season. Bogey 9.6 bWAR in 4 with SD - 2.4 per season.
  20. Bellhorn04
    What comments are you talking about?
  21. Bellhorn04
    I think the Betts trade was one of the worst of the last century, but it wasn't because of the trade return we got, it was because of the very decision to trade him.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Now I will revert to the context thing. Pitching is different. You can never have enough pitching, and the only add we made was Giolito. As I said before the Sox had very little to lose by keeping Sale. To me that's really the bottom line, the nothing to lose part.
  23. Bellhorn04
    I was actually talking about the CBOs and it's just a generalization, but what I'm talking about is making the moves that give you a real shot at winning it all.
  24. Bellhorn04
    I was temporarily alright with the deal because I thought it meant we were going to be signing some top level starters.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Finishing the job is the hardest part.
