    Stuck in Clownsville.

    I'm still very optimistic about the Sox. I think we will go on a long hot streak and turn people's opinions around. Of course, I could be wrong, but I'm still a firm believer.

    The sky is falling!

    We could sure use him ASAP!

    In ther context of the days when players routinely played 158-162 games, unless they were hurt, getting 2-4 days off in the first 3rd of a season is a bit beyond that tradition. (I'm not complaining. I want us rested for the playoffs and am 99% sure we make the playoffs.)

    I don't disagree, but I don't see much else on the 40 man roster that I have more faith in than Brasier and Weber (before the last 2 days).
  7. moonslav59
    YES! Going up 2-0 is essential. Siakam is a beast!

    Ignore the bozo clown. Maybe he'll just go away.
  10. moonslav59
    That's why he's on my ignore list of one.

    I can see both sides of the debate, but I think they had more faith in the pen and having $4-6M to beef it up over the summer than going with Johnson, Velazquez and Weber as our 5th starter. You're right, it was no slam dunk. Once could argue the same about Pearce, but at least he's had 3-4 years of great success against lefties and had done pretty good against righties over the last couple years. With Moreland always getting hurt, I can see why we signed him, too. BTW, we had more choices than Kimbrel or Eovaldi (and Pearce.)
  12. moonslav59
    I think we have a real good shot, but maybe not as faves, at this point.
  13. moonslav59
    It's like arguing with a fence post.
  14. moonslav59
    As bad as we've been playing, we are currently tied for the last wild card slot with Oakland. I guess, if you think our 29-27 record is what we will continue to be, then sure, we likely won't make it, but there's no way in hell I believe we will play .518 ball the rest of the way.
  15. moonslav59
    They are playing well, now, but I like our chances much much more.
  16. moonslav59
    The schedule is the only thing that may make it difficult, but I think we beat them by 5+ games and will probably pass TB, too. The hole we dug may be too deep to catch the Yanks for the division, but, if we are healthy, I like our chances come playoff time. I don't think the odds are as good as last year's odds, but we will be tough to beat.
  17. moonslav59
    I couldn't disagree more. Teams go through phases. There's no way we end up with just 86 wins, unless the injury bug bites us hard.
  18. moonslav59
    I'm with you, but the powers to be will never allow the Warriors to lose- (not like they would without the league's help).
  19. moonslav59
    We'll see how you feel after we see the reversion of the reversion.
  20. moonslav59
    The chances were pretty good one of Thornburg or Smith would step up to fill Kimbrel's role, but sadly, no.
  21. moonslav59
    I'm not advocating going overboard. I see what we paid for Adisson Reed and Eovaldi, and think that something like that is not too high a price to pay. Most contenders don't have 2 scrubs in the 6-7 slots, plus we don't have the greatest 1-5's either.
  22. moonslav59
    Maybe. I don't see the Guardians as our equals, but I suppose they could be. TB is for real, but it's really about the final spot, and I only see 5 really good AL teams, and one is the Sox. The Guardians do have a much easier schedule, though.
  23. moonslav59
    If it wasn't for all the HBPs, his OBP would be even worse.
  24. moonslav59
    That doesn't happen as often as a player's first 3-4 ABs, and that's what PH'ers are for anyways. I do see a value in the L-R thing, but I thin it is less than many think it is.
  25. moonslav59
    Me, too, despite the injury concerns.
