    ...and Jordan couldn't average 24 RPG either.

    Never misses on anything.

    We rode the shoulders of Barnes, Kelly and Hembree- your 3 faves!

    I've never said he was a bad or good role model. I hope he comes back strong next year. I was just responding to a post that said Pedey was somewhat muted by being on the DL.

    Russell was a fine athlete.

    One day from now...

    I hated being on the same side of any issue with softlaw, but as always, he took things to an extreme.
  8. moonslav59
    That game Magic played center was, well, "magical".
  9. moonslav59
    It's in his instincts to try and mess up any player trying to make a play- like it's football or something.

    JBJ has been my favorite Sox player since before he was even called up. He still is.
  11. moonslav59
    He barely had 2 seasons where he did not win it all. Winning his last year in college at the University of San Francisco was monumental. It's not just about the rings. Julio Lugo has a ring as the starting SS for the Sox. To me, the Celts don't with without Russell. He was a tremendous defensive player. I've played enough basketball in my life to know the great importance or rebounds, and nobody was better than Bill. I'm also convinced he could have and would have scored much more, if needed. I get the Jordan argument. I get the Wilt argument. I even think Magic is under-rated, but to me, and it's just my opinion, Russell in the best ever.
  12. moonslav59
    Well said. I have seen Pedey in the dugout yapping away, however.
  13. moonslav59
    No, I had it right the first time, and I'm not even a Celtics fan.
  14. moonslav59
    I'm more worried about the Dodger offense than their pitching. They have a lot of balance despite losing some key hitters to injuries. 2018 OPS .973 Muncy .924 Turner .905 Machado (2 teams) .843 Pederson .830 Freese (2 teams) .820 Puig .818 Kemp .815 Grandal .814 Bellinger .806 Hernandez .775 Taylor .696 Dozier 10 guys over .805 is pretty scary, but we'll still beat these guys.
  15. moonslav59
    I wasn't worried about Verlander either.
  16. moonslav59
    Players are often moved to unfamiliar roles in the playoffs, and besides, 2B is not all that unfamiliar to Betts.
  17. moonslav59
    Bill also had a college championship and Olympic Gold in the year before he went pro. He was the best.
  18. moonslav59
    Yes, we used it, but not to the extent that it was being used by other teams over the last few year and by us this year.
  19. moonslav59
    Perhaps the loss of HRam has helped the clubhouse, but who knows? I'm not sure about the loss of Pedey, since he has been in the dugout and clubhouse despite being on the DL. I think the biggest influence was Cora replacing Farrell. The addition of JD was a big plus as well, especially with his on the field contributions. He essentially replaced HRam and Young's PAs. I also think our kids matured a lot, and that may have happened under Farrell as well, but one will never know for sure. I know it is just an opinion, but mine is that Cora was a major difference maker.
  20. moonslav59
    True. BTW, I have defended HRam's attitude and club house presence for years.
  21. moonslav59
    Not at all. That does not detract from my point that I feel, if HRam had to play for a team to get the $22M, he'd have been knocking on doors. It will be interesting to see if he retires or tries a comeback.
  22. moonslav59
    I loved Manny. He made some big mistakes, some inexcusable, especially towards the end and during his time in LA, but he was so much fun to watch.
  23. moonslav59
    I totally agree, and I also strongly feel that was missing last year and in 2011.
  24. moonslav59
    I agree. I do see a marked change from last year. That was my main point. You are right. It's not just Cora, but the vets we brought in helped a lot. I also like how Cora went to visit Devers in his home country. That kind of thing is often over-looked.
  25. moonslav59
    We were pretty late on using the shift, or at least to a high degree.
