I'll assume the blame for Chavis. I tagged him early on as MC Hammer. That was putting too much pressure on him. Starting now I will call him Mike or Chavis or maybe I won't call him at all.
How's this for motivation? Any SOX pitcher who can get 3 outs with under 20 pitches gets to spend the night with the NESN female. Sadly, I don't know her name, but Slasher thinks she's really hot.
Speaking of Dicks, does anyone remember Dick Pole from the early to mid 70's SOX? When he pitched at Fenway, there were 2 Poles on the field. He later was traded to Seattle in their 1st year in the league.
