    As I pointed out earlier today somewhere, NIRDO has been vastly overstated here: https://www.talksox.com/forum/threads/19439-Countdown-to-Playoffs-2019-edition?p=1284413&viewfull=1#post1284413

    And I’ve pointed out to him that there is a Yankee board here that he can post his Propaganda to. Youk has been pretty much persona non grata for months now; JasonBay only slightly less so. I’m guessing if they were able to be around more a lot of this non-Sox stuff would be policed better.

    WTF is NIDO?
  4. illinoisredsox
    I don’t care if you want to criticize or praise Trump or any other politician. I don’t want to see any politics in a game thread. Youk made that pretty clear that’s the rule several times. Pretty sure there’s a General thread that’s more appropriate for that. Also, some anti-Cora posts are no big deal, but when it’s all you post ...
  5. illinoisredsox
    So why are you watching? Honestly, your zeal to criticize everything Cora is becoming almost as tiresome as jacksonmarch’s crowing about the Yankees.

    Good God, it’s over. Just admit it.

    A while back I posted the number of games each of these guys has missed. As of now, the Sox have played 145 games. Betts has played in 143, starting 141. Bogaerts has played in and started 139 (IIRC, he has gotten 1 game off each month of the season). Devers has played in 141, starting 137. At least a couple of his misses and games not started were when he had that hamstring issue. Let's not pretend these guys are getting a game off a week. And anyone who thinks travel days are days off is an idiot. The year's over as far as making the postseason. No need to begrudge any player a day off now, especially those three.

    And you know this how? It’s been the same all year; nothing has really changed.
  9. illinoisredsox
    Yep. Had the chance to break it open, failed to do so. How many times have we seen that this year?
  10. illinoisredsox
    Could very well be. All I know is he came into tonight slashing .419/.514/1.000/1.514 against the Sox and with what he’s done tonight, only the OBP has gone down (it’s 2-4 tonight so it’s gone down slightly). Personally, I think his butt should have hit the dirt a couple times this year.
  11. illinoisredsox
    Does it really matter?
  12. illinoisredsox
    Tellez has killed us all year. Hasn’t mattered who’s been on the mound.
  13. illinoisredsox
    Problem is Theo holds the same position with the Cubs that DD had with the Red Sox. It would be a lateral move which are generally frowned upon in MLB. At best the Cubs would want significant compensation, and it will be far beyond what the teams worked out last time.
  14. illinoisredsox
    The standard rule of thumb is teams generally don’t allow lateral moves. So if Hazen is a candidate, it would have to be for Dombrowski’s current position rather than a straight up GM job.
  15. illinoisredsox
    Mal has a serious man crush on Big Papi. Personally, I don’t see why David would ever want to wade into the world of baseball management at any level.
  16. illinoisredsox
    Most of us would love to pretend we care, but don’t. You have become a complete dick.
  17. illinoisredsox
    There’s even a board here where he can post to his delight. Hint Assman, it ain’t this one.
  18. illinoisredsox
    You really need to learn the value of an unexpressed thought.
  19. illinoisredsox
    I think even the most optimistic must now agree with this:
  20. illinoisredsox
    I’ve sort of jokingly said several times that the Red Sox always do well the first 18 years of a century. Let’s just hope history doesn’t repeat for the next 15 years because the Sox really sucked from 1919 until 1934. And I mean sucked as in last place finishes for a lot of years in a row.
  21. illinoisredsox
    So effing what?
  22. illinoisredsox
    If I was a GM I would never trade with the Yankees; the Evil Empire always seems to wind up on the better end of the deal. Goes for the Cardinals , too.
  23. illinoisredsox
    Minor league seasons ended last Monday; everyone who is going to come up is up. Plus if they bring up Dalbec, et al now, do they lose a year of control (I honestly don’t know)?
  24. illinoisredsox
    They want to keep him. But he has to show something offensively to justify it. Platooning is an attempt to do that, and he’s blowing that chance as well.
  25. illinoisredsox
    No it’s not. Refuse to play the game.
