Hello? You're the official Talksox Historian. You're supposed to know these things.
-
11-0 after the top half of the first. LOL
-
It seems there time has arrived. The word today is that the White Sox are interested in Hinch, who is the front runner, and Cora is not going to be a top candidate for them. -
Whether he is the difference maker or not, which I don't think he is, if the Dodgers win the WS this year, of course it's all going to point to Mookie as the guy who put them over the top. I just don't buy into the idea that one guy can be the difference maker in the playoffs. When a team repeatedly makes the playoffs but can't win the ultimate prize, that has more to do with the randomness factor than whether the team is good enough.
-
I vaguely remember that. Good for him. Respect level just went up a notch.
-
To me, it sounds like the White Sox and Cora are a good fit for each other, sadly. I think they want someone relatively young.
-
No, I don't really see the two scenarios being the same. I agree that my kid flunking out of school would not be made any better by another kid not getting a scholarship. A rivalry in sports is a different situation. I don't want the Astros to win either, but if they are eliminated, that doesn't really help in getting over the Red Sox season. When there's a motto of "Anyone but the Yankees", however, the Yankees being eliminated is big.
-
Sure it does.
-
I'm pulling for a Rays/Braves World Series also, but I hope the Braves win it all. I don't really want the Rays in the WS, but they are the lesser of two evils against the Astros. I have nothing against the Dodgers, but I like the Braves better. It's too bad it can't be a Braves/Dodgers World Series. LOL
-
Well Verdugo had a pretty good season in his own right. No one is saying Verdugo is on the same level as Mookie, but he played well this season. About 2 wins better sounds right.
-
Should be a fun game. Sadly, I don't think the Rays can hang with the big boys.
-
All the more reason to dislike them.
-
In terms of pure talent, maybe not. In terms of value, I would have to disagree. And yes, value matters.
-
Well said Oldtimer. I agree.
-
I still can't believe the Dodgers agreed to give Mookie such a large contract. I think they could have signed him for far less under these circumstances. I know I've posted that many times before, but my mind is boggled.
-
Stop.
-
We would have been a better team with Mookie. I don't deny that. I don't think it would have made much of a difference in our standings though.
-
One nice thing about the Sox not being in the playoffs is that the playoffs are stress free. LOL
-
As bad as the Sox were this year, I was and am just happy to have baseball to watch.
-
The Rays need to win tonight. If the Yankees can force a Game 5, I believe they will win the series. Much to my dismay, I can't count the Yankees out.
-
To be fair, Boone is a doofus.
-
Sadly, I haven't been able to watch any of the Dodgers/Padres series because of the ridiculous start time. I realize that they are west coast teams, but if the Braves and Marlins can play at 2:30 eastern time, why can't the Dodger and Padres play at 2:30 pacific time? MLB schedulers have left a lot to be desired this season. //End of rant.
-
That is a hard no.
-
Good story Oldtimer. It's great that this anthropologist had a sense of humor, but you wonder what those kids went through their entire lives. LOL Also, keep on playing! That's awesome!
-
Ha. Good point.
