  1. It was the Dodgers who took Theo's mistakes (Crawful, A-Gone, and Beckett) a few years back. Hard to hate them for that.
  2. A typical E-rod inning, although it appears OB, ECK and Jerry seemed surprised.
  3. K. Maeda 7-5 3.76ERA vs. E-rod 9-4 4.65ERA Betts Devers X-man JD Beni VAZ JBJ MC Hammer Brock SOX need to stay hot with the bat.
  4. How bad is SOX pitching? Cora couldn't find it within himself to pick even one SOX pitcher for the all-star game.
  5. So could Ortiz, but, at least, he was smart enough to learn the language.
  6. Managing the all-star team must be more difficult for Cora without having Nunez on the bench.
  7. Good one. Btw, how many years do you think it will take Sanchez to learn English?
  8. I expect Nunez to go on a tear in the 2nd half.
  9. If more HR's provides bigger revenues, MLB is not going to do a thing. The same reason they cast a blind eye to the steroid era. In fact, if it wasn't for the risk of a pitcher getting seriously injured or killed, MLB would allow aluminum bats.
  10. The fact of the matter is that the vast majority of fans who buy tickets to the games or watch at home enjoy high scoring games more than well-pitched games. The juiced ball is about money and not about the integrity of the game. In professional sports money will always trump integrity. Also, this juiced ball has made a mockery of previous HR Derby's, but the paying fans love it so, more than likely, nothing will change.
  11. It appears that during the HR Derby the announcers have been told by someone not to use the word 'juiced' in reference to the baseballs. These balls are more juiced than Barry Bonds ever was. Well, perhaps, equally juiced.
  12. Verlander, who leads all pitchers in the AL in HR's allowed (26) told writers that the ball is definitely juiced. Manfred agrees the ball is different, but claims it was not a directive from the league. I know this isn't related to the OP, but I thought you might be interested.
  13. Moon, if you don't know, we're all in trouble.
  14. Game thread critic. Every forum needs one.
  15. 4 days w/o baseball will probably be good for all of us.
  16. I wonder how much more exciting GODFATHER 3 would have been if the SOX BP was in that movie.
  17. Mine said "get back to me in an hour."
  18. My name, Jose Jimenez. Reporter: "What do you do for a living." Jose: "I a relief picher. One time I threw pitch 98 mph." Reporter: "That's really good, Jose." Jose: " No, Thee batter hit ball out of park at 110 mph."
  19. I agree. That's a tough habit to break.
  20. Remember when ROLAIDS sponsored relief pitching? With all the bad BP's in baseball, including the SOX, DEPENDS should be the new sponsor.
  21. Bra Man should wear a sign "Do not strike a match within 50 feet."
