  1. To be fair, the man did use his movie star fame to run for mayor of a city just so he could change some parking regulations at his restaurant. That's really not all that cool...
  2. Can't put Bruce Lee on there. It took him too long to beat up Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and even then only by exposing his blindness to sunlight. No martial arts expert should struggle like that with a basketball player. Do you want to see Jason Statham fight to a draw with Chris Paul? And then only beat Paul by taking advantage of his peanut allergy? I didn't think so...
  3. Or Beeks. I could see a deal for James Shields happening this month...
  4. No John Wayne?
  5. Who goes to make room for Phillips?
  6. If they don't, who does? Women?
  7. Here's the thing If you move Betts to 2B and Martinez to OF, and Pearce to a 1B platoon, you have 3 options for DH. !. Holt 2. Nunez 3. Swihart Putting Holt or Nunez at DH means you have decided to make the infield and outfield defense weaker with the exact same players in the lineup.. Putting Swihart at DH means the Sox have weakened the defense and benched Holt/Nunez in order to get more at-bats for Swihart. The only way it remotely makes sense is to put Pearce at full time DH, but even then the upgrade simply isn't worth it. I'm not seeing the logic at all...
  8. Mookie is fine where he is. Why are people hoping to re-arrange this lineup in order to get Blake Swihart or some “odd man out” at bats at DH?
  9. I always though Antonio Bastardo was a great name for a Spaghetti Western villain...
  10. The Sox may also need the closer role for Price if this trend continues...
  11. Or a Or a blatant “(sarcasm)” at the end of the post...
  12. Pile of smoky logs? What kind of pink hatter needs a fire!?! Eat your food raw like a man and quit being afraid of the dark!!
  13. I find them to be obvious a lot of times. It helps if you assume most people will be humorous or sarcastic from the onset and not actually attacking anyone...
  14. I’ll let you be Sundance to my Butch Cassidy...
  15. 1. There is no rhyme. 2. Given the way he has pitched from the bullpen in the postseason, he might be known as Big Save Dave one day...
  16. There is more truth to this than there should be...
  17. But there are also plenty of reasons to not be frustrated with Zack Wheeler, such as his velocity is up this year and his walks are at a career low. He's not going to stay on as a team ace, but if they deal him NOW, they are the most poorly run franchise in MLB
  18. Actually, as far as I can tell, they do...
  19. Price isn't going to be a $31mill pitcher, but he will probably pitch better than anyone the Sox are able to get at the deadline or call up from the minors...
  20. Let's be honest. They removed the home field advantage aspect from the All Star game. As far as I am concermed, a sac bunt skills compeition would be fine after that massive and much-needed fix. Whatever they do is gong to get overblown anyway, since the day before and the day after the All Star game are the only 2 days of the year with no actual sports to cover...
  21. God I hope youre joking. You just advocated for replacing the home run derby with two people playing catch. I like defense, but if it ever comes down to drills like that, just replace the home run derby with a few episodes of “The Rockford Files” and call it a day...
  22. And the White Sox won’t ask for a ton of prospects the Red Sox don’t have. Trey Ball might be an overpay here...
  23. Right now the Sox need warm bodies after Sale, Price and Pocello. Shields is looking better everyday Unless people have a lot of faith in Johnson and Beeks for the second half. (And what do we do if one of them gets hurt?)
  24. Right. Dombrowski should just fill out the forms and in the box next to “Quality Starting Pitcher”, just fill in a “1”. Or, if he’s feeling desperate, a “2”. The problem with your sentiment is that the Sox don’t have the chips to trade for a good starting pitcher, and haven’t had them for a long time. Getting what you want for the rotation is nearly impossible. So if they can’t get a guarantee, you suggest they stand pat?
  25. Is there a really good “self-righteous smug face” emoji out there?
