  1. CPA's are grist for our financial and economic mill--more necessary, even in our litigious society, than lawyers. My son-in-law is one. In any case, kudos for staying focused on what's important.
  2. Lou merloni says erod is tipping his changeup
  3. Excuse me! Excuse me? Who wants a stinking hitting SS? This entire site has griped most of the season about Bogey's defense, so let's get rid of him. Good GM's know that defense is what wins games. Hitters are a dime a dozen.
  4. I'm not much of a Joe Maddon fan either. Iggy has definitely impressed at 2b. Too bad it will be Arroyo in the postseason.
  5. That was some seriously bad s*** Robles was throwing in the 7th. 90 mph sliders and changeups.
  6. Verdugo, batting left vs. a righty pitcher, has swung at 2 of 3 pitches, all of which were way out of the strike zone. OK, he lined out to CF on a splitter near the middle of the zone.
  7. So, there you have it. All the top of the order needed was a little heat from the maxatollah.
  8. I'd like to keep him, but the case against is pretty solid. On the other hand, I can see no reason to keep Bogey--not enough range. The Sox need a real SS!!!!
  9. Looked like Bogey swung under that sinker.
  10. Houdini had nothing on Alex Cora, who once again left in ERod when none of us would have and then pulled him at just the right moment so that Brasier could get the final 2 outs.
  11. Kike saves ERod in the 4th inning and ties the game in the bottom of the 5th!!!!
  12. ERod's miraculous start. He stinks up the place and still goes 4.1 giving up just 2 runs. Great throw by Kike and great relief by Brasier bails ERod out. Score is 2-1, folks. This game is definitely winnable. All it takes is for the top six hitters to, you know, actually hit the dadgum ball.
  13. Alonso of the Mets looked exactly like JDM on that slider away.
  14. Brasier stupidly throwing nothing but fastballs, which is working like gangbusters!!!!
  15. He was unbelievably lucky to get through 4.
  16. Mets overall have significantly better pitching than the Sox, who have significantly better hitting. As the saying goes, good pitching usually beats good hitting. The Mets have been helped by the fact that ERod just stunk tonight. He said as much to Cora when he was in the dugout after the 4th inning.
  17. Some slider ERod has. He throws it to a lefty batter and gets a hard hit single.
  18. 20-20 hindsight. Defense-wise, JDM in LF has not been costly. And Schwarber and JDM both have better OPS's than Renfroe. That said, I would have kept the regular outfield and benched JDM against this righty.
  19. Disagree. Leave him where he is so he keeps hitting. Plus his chances of being brought home are better when he is followed by Vazquez and Iglesias. Great baserunning by Vazquez. Very opportunistic because the Mets didn't have anyone covering 3b. Oops. I guess they did. And Vazquez remains one of the most clueless baserunners in Sox history.
  20. Dalbec, righty vs. righty gets his second hit, a long, long double to CF. One has to wonder what is the problem with Schwarber, Devers, and Verdugo.
  21. Sox two hits by Dalbec and Iglesias. No hits by the top six in the Sox order after two at bats for each of them. But Schwarber and Bogey both got walks.
  22. Stroman getting those calls because he is consistently around and in the strike zone.
  23. Stroman is not throwing lots of strikes and his 2 BB's to ERod's 3. But what he is good at is keeping the ball low--thus the ground outs. My gosh! JDM swings and misses at a sinker right down the middle. Stroman's 2d K in the game.
  24. ERod lucky. That superb play by Renfroe got an out plus some slack for ERod with just men on 1st and 2d instead bases full. Sox are better hitters than the Mets. but Stroman is keeping the ball low and his stuff has a sharper break.
  25. ERod needs his good changeup to be effective. Tonight he can't command it, so he is over-relying on fastballs and cutters.
