  1. “Seattle” just sounds like someone couldn’t read the word “cattle”...
  2. They also wanted to be a “Chicago company.” If it’s all about where the planes are built, Huntsville might be the future for Boeing. The Sox play no games in Huntsville, Alabama this year...
  3. Boeing is headquartered in Chicago. Cut us some slack. We have more here than just violent gun deaths, as explained in our new tourism slogan. “Chicago - Come For The Hot Dogs, Stay For The Murders”
  4. They’d probably just dump him but he still has 3 years $69mill left on his deal after this season...
  5. That’s on him. He’s had multiple chances to sign extensions involving life-altering money...
  6. If this is the same Academy that gave virtually no awards at all to “Journey 2: Mysterious Island,” you may be right....
  7. The problem was, when I read it I had Mac saying it on a Zoloft voice, and no one sounds sarcastic in a Zoloft voice...
  8. You love it despite it being remarkably stupid and ignoring basic fundamentals and strategy? Or did you love it because the Sox really hadn't learned enough yet about Laureano's arm strength and accuracy?
  9. Unless they were unaware the full extent of any injury. See Clement, Matt...
  10. Yes, we were all shocked the Academy ignored him there...
  11. I think I’d settle for some fundamentals at this point....
  12. Holt drove in more runs with that walk than the Sox scored in the first two games of this series combined...
  13. True, but what’s the actual benefit of keeping him? Toronto didn’t release him because they thought he would stay healthy and become even a shadow of his former self. The Yankees got their money’s worth. They gambled and won (slightly). Time to move on and let some other team have a chance to put him on the IL...
  14. The only real acting he did was “Natural Born Killers.” Even in Caddyshack, he was basically doing his stand up persona with the insults directed outward instead of inward...
  15. Because with the amount of injuries the Yankees currently have, it’s only a matter of time (days? hours? minutes?) before the 40-man roster spot he occupies is more valuable than he is. Don’t you think Toronto released him for a similar reason?
  16. Speaking as an engineer, no one respects an IE...
  17. Ellington is probably an apt comparison. The interesting facet might be that former shortstop Guerra might have a chance down the road to become a closer, since for some reason, is a role failed shortstops seem to succeed in, including Trevor Hoffman, Rafael Betancourt, and Joe Nathan...
  18. A more relevant example might be Matt Clement, who destroyed his shoulder during his first All Star season in Boston, pitched through the pain, but was never the same afterwards. Some have attributed his downfall to taking a line drive off the head. But by then his decline, while slow, appeared to have already started. In fact, his next starts after the line drive were actually better than the ones before it. Reportedly, an off-season evaluation of his shoulder revealed damage was far beyond what he should have been pitching through. But Clement, line drive and all, somehow managed 32 starts for the Sox that year. Clement started 12 ineffective games for Boston the next season, and then never pitched in MLB again...
  19. In an unrelated story, the Yankees have announced that during practice, the team will only use whiffleball bats and Nerf balls...
  20. Including his inevitable buyout, Tulowitzki will be paid $24mill this season, all but $555,000 from the Blue Jays. So for 5 games of 162, Tulowitzki earned $741,000, or more than the Yankees paid him. They got their money’s worth. Time to call it a moral victory and cut bait...
  21. I’m a tad hesitant to compare one bullpen session from Javier Guerra to Sudden Sam, who was a six time All Star whose career put him in the top ten for career K/9 and fewest H/9 and had one no-hitter to his credit...
  22. Yeah I’m not a big participant in them. Guess my point is proven. It’s amazing to me that, according to the ever reliable Internet, the only people who don’t know how to manage an MLB team are the MLB managers...
