    I have no idea what professional baseball players think. So I'll just go with Charles Barkley's famous statement: "Players care about three things: Money, Playing Time, and Winning ... In that order." I don't expect player's disappointment, expectations, or satisfaction is going to affect their performance one bit.

    Since when are fans of the entertainment industry obliged to 'tough it out'? So if some series I'm watching on Netfix sucks, I have the moral obligation to keep watching to the end?

    I know. It just seems miraculous that the Sox are where they are now. It's like the 9th inning with Schiraldi on the mound (one of my favorites then!), two outs, and a couple of dribblers sneak through the infield into left.

    Not quite fifty-five for me, I think, but close. The ... what was it? 3? ... WS losses seemed the norm, and with the exception of 2003, the later ones just seemed like old hat. (Not that I want to go back to the Ike Delock and Garry Geiger days.)

    Exactly. I was driving around yesterday trying to remind myself of the RS rotation. I kept thinking, I MUST be missing someone or perhaps more than one, since all the names that came to mind seemed like #4 or 5 or even 'desperate' starters (Pivetta? Perez? ...) The enormity of the problem hit me when I realized I did in fact have them all, even our apparent 'ace' Eovaldi. Listening to the last few games makes me wonder how the RS are even a .500 team, let alone in first place.

    But Bogaerts almost went Johnny Pesky on that throw!
  7. jad
    I recognize HR of course, and RBI (but only because Jackie Jensen got a lot of them). OBP? Walks? Never heard of 'em.

    I'm Old School! (About half-way through my academic career, I realized that I could either spend weeks reading up on each latest trend -- as here, the latest dWARs or whatever they are-- or simply let them go away, until they were so obsolete, all my colleagues would scoff at any reference to them. I chose the latter!) (Oh yes, as an aside--given the recent Covid situation, I think we're going to have to wait at least another year for me to pay off that bet with SeaDog tix!)

    Why not? Of course he's had a great half-season. But isn't he more likely to 'regress to the norm' (.230) than suddenly to become a player he has not been until this year?
  10. jad
    "WE'RE SAVED!!!"--Estragon.
  11. jad
    I don't get this. He's a .230 lifetime hitter. Don't the RS have that position well covered?
  12. jad
    Another one was that all the members of the winning team had on a RS UNIFORM!!! That blew my mind!
  13. jad
    Squash.
  14. jad
    Maybe not after tonight!
  15. jad
    DFA Devers!
  16. jad
    Yeah, that's why I missed it myself! Meanwhile, MORE incompetence by Cora. Everyone knows you do better the second and third time through the order. But because of horrible mismanagement, they won't even get a second look at the starter.
  17. jad
    You might try looking for the hidden 'irony' button. (Or maybe I missed yours.)
  18. jad
    And what about Hernandez, for Crise sake! LEADING OFF??? and again, he leaves the bases empty.
  19. jad
    Yeah, what a screw up. So when Bogaerts and Devers come up, the bases are empty. DFA Duran and fire Cora.
  20. jad
    And then REnfroe does the same thing. DFA both of them.
  21. jad
    C'mon. Duran didn't do squat batting 2nd and left the bases empty for Bogaerts and Devers.
  22. jad
    Gee. I wonder why there were fewer crimes in NYC in 2020 than in 2021. This is going to be really hard to figure. (Also, when you are quoting paragraphs of a news source directly, as you do above, you really ought to acknowledge it.)
  23. jad
    That is total b.s. I lived in NYC for several years, and it's the only place I've lived where I was never the victim of any crime, never subject to verbal or physical abuse. It's a great place to live (or was, when it was still affordable).
  24. jad
    You really expect some guy who has never played in a particular field simply to run flat out into a wall to prove to you what grit he has?
  25. jad
    I think they just completely mis-read the weather (in fairness to them, the hourly reports before 7 made it appear there was a window starting around 9. Alas ...)
