  1. What is the story? That a guy who perennially has griped about his contracts and blocked trades suddenly found himself unable to get anything but a minor league deal, which he probably grudgingly accepted, and then got 8 ABs and one (really awesome) hit for a team that still won 99 of their first 145 games without him?
  2. #himtoo? #harveryweinsteinintoasmallpuddleofredooze?
  3. Exactly. And those situations don't happen every game...
  4. Pinch hit for the catchers twice in one game? It's really hard to argue the value of the defense they bring on one hand while saying their offense need be so urgently replaced on the other. And really, barring a very long game, how many critical at-bats do we expect the catchers to have? And if you expect a really long game with a lot of extra innings, that brings back the extra pitcher argument...
  5. If a third catcher is so important, I’d rather see Christian Vazquez or even Dan Butler make the roster. I’d trust either of them at the plate more than I’d trust Pearce or Holt behind it. That said, I don’t think the third catcher is a high priority here...
  6. It helps get home field, but it really doesn’t mean anything else. Some of the winningest teams in MLB history had very bad postseasons to follow...
  7. Max Von Sydow in his best role ever...
  8. And the cheaper tickets. And some people don't like going to the Bronx...
  9. And a few years ago, they had a utility infielder named Kevin Ross (which was George's fiance's last name)...
  10. Mrs Syndegaard?
  11. We always assume the computer has a glitch. Maybe just one time reality is out of whack...
  12. In 14 professional seasons, Pearce has done a lot of things on major league and minor league baseball fields. Catching is on the short list of things he has not gone yet...
  13. Remember when the CFL only had 8 teams and two of them were the Roughriders?
  14. Don't forget Neil Young
  15. Workman also has a chance if Barnes cannot recover in time...
  16. The Sox could have 8 Triple Crown candidates and some would complain about that last player being the weakness that would hold them back...
  17. Let's not go that far. But I do think we in the USA saw that coming, which was why this song got nominated for an Oscar..
  18. We also think you all love Bryan Adams, Celine Dion and Ryan Reynolds...
  19. You just love those former Canadian players...
  20. It's weird to think we got this guy for Lars Anderson. remember when we had high hopes for him?
  21. When the radio is ahead, it gets very frustrating. For example if their play-by-play tells me a hitter strikes out chains a down and away pitch, I find myself close to yelling at the TV as the pitcher throws the ball "DON'T SWING!!"
  22. Not sure why the delay is on radio games. That would have ruined Johnny Most for me.
  23. As much as you might dislike Kelly and Hembree, I think if you saw Johnson and Velasquez try to handle their roles, you might dislike the latter two even more.
  24. As ex-players go, A-Rod is actually pretty good in the booth. I've lived through Joe Morgan up there, and, while he's probably a very nice guy, Rick Sutcliffe is so boring he could take the excitement out of an orgasm. But if you cannot handle the man out of pinstripes, I suggest doing what all Celtics' fans did in the 1970's and 1980's. Turn off the TV volume and turn up the radio...
  25. I am willing to conceded that, unlike Bogaerts, we have to deal with Devers' growing pains during what looks like a very special season for this team, and it does make him look like a weakness at the wrong time as opposed to an exciting future piece....
