    OK, not quite the way we wanted it, but I'll celebrate it nonetheless. For those unacquainted with Smiley-Beni Day, it's a renaming of Yankees Elimation Day, named for a prolific poster on boston.com who littered the chatboard daily, taunting Yankees' fans, even when we had nothing to taunt them about. Happy Smiley-Beni Day one and all!

    It arrived a bit late this season, but it still came. Happy Smiley-Beni Day to all Red Sox fans, Yankee haters, and especially to all my old mates from boston.com.

    Sorry for double posting, but I realize this category may be more appropriate. Well, Red Sox fans, it was a terrible season, but again, there is some consolation in that we can celebrate another Smiley-Beni Day. Early this season it wasn't looking hopeful, as the Yankees were looking like the 2018 Red Sox. Thankfully, their trajectory changed. So, to honor the infamous poster, Smiley-Beni, from the boston.com website, I declare Smiley-Beni Day 2022. Break out the bubbly, the munchies, and enjoy Yankee fans tearing the team apart on youtube videos. Let's continue this great tradition and hope that the Red Sox will be relevant in 2023. Happy Smiley Day, Red Sox Nation!

    Happy to see a great tradition continue and we uphold Smiley's legacy.

    Beat me to it, Slasher. And what a wonderful Smiley-Beni Day it is. Smiley is somewhere smiling and benying. I'm grateful that it came without too much angst. Seems like almost every game down the stretch this season has been filled with drama, win or lose, good team or bad. This game came without as much drama as expected. For a change, the defense was solid and the pen didn't give up their usual free passes with the lead. Still, a boneheaded baserunning gaffe by Verdugo as he sauntered into second, but it was hard not to be too upset with him after that big hit. I don't know about the rest of you, but this game was my World Series. This was more than I expected going into the season. Whatever they accomplish from this point on out is gravy.

    Hi, fellow Sox fans! It's that special day again when I crawl out of my hole to remind us to honor the great Smiley-Beni. I'll take whatever schadenfreude I can get during these difficult times, even if it's tempered by the death of the great Whitey Ford. For those who don't have a clue what I'm talking out, let me introduce you to this great tradition. Both Smiley-Beni and I were active participants in the now defunct boston.com Red Sox chatboard. Smiley-Beni was a legendary troll that would bait Yankee fans daily with petty taunts, even if there wasn't anything to taunt them about. I created a holiday to honor him called Smiley-Beni Day. Smiley-Beni day is celebrated when the New York Yankees finish the season short of winning the World Series, regardless of the Red Sox performance during that season. Let the figurative fireworks begin! - A smiley face for Smiley-Beni!

    I was preparing for the possibility of a day of mourning this season, but thanks to the Astros, Smiley-Beni Day will be celebrated again in 2019. For the uninformed, Smiley-Beni Day is named for poster Smiley-Beni from the defunct boston.com Red Sox chatboard, who drew the ire of Yankees' fans by continually taunting them via incessant threads, some of dubious validity. His threads drew Yankees' fans like flypaper. In honor of Smiley-Beni, we celebrate the end of any Yankees' season that doesn't result in a World Series title. So break out the bunting, enjoy the marching band, scatter the confetti, and let's celebrate Smiley-Beni Day 2019!

    Congratulations to all my old bdc buddies and others. It was a helluva season. A Red Sox team of Superheroes including X-Man, Iron Man Eovaldi, and Nunez, the Black Knight from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Somehow Kinsler lost his superpowers in Game 3, but the Justice League prevailed in the end over the Blue Meanies Macho Machado, the Spiker and the Puig Monster.

    Whatever Cora decides to do is probably the optimal decision. At least that's about how everything has worked out this postseason. I'll just sit back and enjoy.
  11. mediasrojas
    And he's a helluva bowler too. 6 tool player in case he needs to roll one over to first like Julian Tavarez.
  12. mediasrojas
    I base my predictions on wishful thinking. It's just as valid as any other measure. Sox in 5 because there's another event I'd like to attend the scheduled night of game 6, and I have to work on the scheduled night of game 7. Take care of business for me, Red Sox!

    Cora should get a lot of credit for how he managed that game, but I doubt there's a manager in the game that would have managed the situation in the 9th any differently.
  14. mediasrojas
    Weather and weather forecasting are as fickle as Price's performance in the postseason. Everything could change, for better or worse, especially in New England.
  15. mediasrojas
    Good assessment. The part I am critical of Kimbrel is in walking Judge. There are no excuses for handing out free passes in that situation. Make Judge earn it.
  16. mediasrojas
    I agree with this post and add that Sale would have been lifted in the 8th for Kimbrel if one or two runners had reached. This is what Cora did with Porcello in game 1. Sale had a limited number of bullets to work with.

    Or the Sox just go ahead and win game 5 in Fenway. This has been a very resilient team this season. They know how to move on from losses. These ain't your 20th Century (at least the latter 4/5ths of it) Red Sox.
  18. mediasrojas
    Exactly. If he fails early again, he probably goes to the pen.

    My sense of it is that Showalter may be a decent developmental manager and a lousy finisher. When he first started managing in Baltimore, he gave that team a good kick in the ass. They used to roll over against the Red Sox. After Buck, they started to get combative and weren't intimated by the big bad Red Sox any more. As talent developed and free agents were acquired, they had their chances, the biggest being the year that he lost a series when he held off using Zach Britton in a tie game. It was all downhill from there.

    Kimbrel and the lineup are fine. I grew tired of you after seeing two posts.
  21. mediasrojas
    Sigh.
  22. mediasrojas
    Sigh!

    Those are some pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, sour grapes you've been munchin' on.

    Happy Smiley-Beni Day, 2018! For the unacquainted, Smiley-Beni Day is the day we celebrate the end of the Yankees' season, named in honor of Smiley-Beni, a legendary troll and Yankee-baiter extrodinaire from the defunct boston.com chatboard. It's extra special this season because it was accomplished at the hands of the Red Sox. Please bring out the bunting, marching bands, libations, and enjoy the fireworks!

    You are certainly correct in claiming that David Ortiz has "baseball smarts". So much so that he knows not to become a Red Sox manager.
