  1. This won't be the first time they've done this, unlike the Sox ( for real).
  2. I called it the appearance of a "lack of fire & desire" last year. I feel much better with this Cora led team.
  3. Our starters will be very rested, so there's no reason to blame fatigue for any possible bad outings. I'm cautiously optimistic we can get 5-6 from Sale and 6-7 from Price & Porcello.
  4. I guess there's no hurry to tell the press (opps), but my guess is the two either already know or will soon.
  5. I'm shocked! (Sarcasm alert)
  6. It was the only thing you had to use when viewing Sox-Yankee history since the Henry era began. "tongue and meek" maybe.
  7. When they traded Lynn, my heart sunk to a very low point. The Fisk fiasco and Burleson trade was nearly enough to turn away the staunchest of Sox fans, but I stuck with 'em.
  8. If it was 50-50, I can see looking ahead. If it was 50.001 to 49.999, He should have gone with Happ.
  9. Funny how Yankee fans now look at last place finishes to judge team history by, instead of rings and titles.
  10. While Kelly might have a higher ceiling, and Hembree to a lesser extent, I think the chances Poyner and Workman do better is slightly higher. I won't be upset, if they choose Kelly and/or Hembree, but I wouldn't pick either one for the ALDS.
  11. They could change the rules to say all 3 division winners advance, but the two wild card teams are seeded by record. This year, it would not have been a need for division winning, one game deciders. The 2018 playoffs would have looked like this: AL BOS(1) vs CLE(5) @ OAK(4) play-in winner NYY(3) @ HOU(2) NL CHI (1) vs ATL (5) @ COL (4) play-in winner LAD(3) @ MIL(2)
  12. I wonder, if they looked at Sevy-Happ as a 50-50 choice and chose Sevy, because they wanted Happ twice vs the Sox.
  13. The one we have now might end up 3rd on the list.
  14. Do you even listen to yourself?
  15. I'm not scared of Happ and neither are Sox hitters. There's all kinds of examples where a pitcher seems to have our number for a game or two and then BAM!
  16. There's no reason to fret. It's... Chris Freakin' Sale
  17. They went 13-11 after having that lead. It's more about the Brewers doing very well.
  18. Who played RF when Dewey played CF? Bernie Carbo?
  19. Crazy time in the NL this year!
  20. I think Sale is going to dominate. I also wouldn't be surprised if the Cy Young Porcello shows up. He's mature and experienced. I like Price, too, and his poor PO record barely concerns me, but I like Sale & Porcello more. Too bad ERod got hurt and hasn't returned to his previous form. The kid was near unbeatable at one point.
  21. Yes, he could, but there was little reason to do it. In Fenway, RF is a very important defensive position. It almost is as important as catcher and SS.
  22. That just seems wrong. The Braves are rewarded for playing in the weakest division. With unbalanced schedules, there will always be some sort of injustice.
  23. I'm not afraid of anyone. I just always root for the Yankee opponent. It's a habit.
  24. I think the final pitching decision comes down to choosing 2 from (my order top to bottom) Poyner Workman Kelly Hembree (Cuevas and Thornburg very long shots) 9 made it: Sale, Price, Porcello, Eovaldi, ERod, Wright, Kimbrel, Brasier & Barnes
  25. Reminds me of my Freshman year when Joe Montana started the championship season as our 3rd string QB. (Dan Devine was our idiot coach.)
