  1. Holt just keeps on keeping on. Love the guy.
  2. I'm hoping someday Beni will be able to elevate a ball to RF.
  3. I have no hope we'll get anything offensively from Bogey, but we definitely need some offense from Betts and JD.
  4. When Smoltz said that Verlander should have 3 CY's, a tent formed in Joe Buck's pants.
  5. No matter what happens tonight, I won't blame Price. It's unfortunate our 'ACE' pitcher is not capable of pitching a full season. I don't see that ever changing. His history proves it.
  6. Note to Betts and Bogie: Hey, fellas, please don't lose your gloves.
  7. It's quite possible that the Super Bowl teams will be the Rams and Pats.
  8. Sometimes one gets so emotionally involved in a game like last night that one doesn't notice the elephant in the room. Why did Cora go to Kimbrel with a 5 run lead? I don't believe anyone questioned it last night because of all the excitement. Actually, I was enlightened about this by the panel on MLB network. Was that a blunder by Cora equal to leaving E-rod in too long? I know the SOX winning excused the E-rod mistake, but tonight I highly doubt Kimbrel will be available. Oh well, hopefully he won't be needed tonight, but did anyone else think bringing in Kimbrel with the big lead strange? Brasier was still an option in the 9th.
  9. Machado has left over 30 baserunners on base. Why would one want to wake him up? Manny doesn't accept failure well; he's an immature idiot. He'll get his eventually.
  10. Yup, when he's not throwing at 97, there is definitely something wrong.
  11. In the other sports, like football, basketball and hockey, there's others who set up blocks and screens to help the player succeed. In baseball, the hitter or fielder is strictly on his own and if he fails, there is no place to hide.
  12. And, hopefully, they'll both be back next season.
  13. Baseball is called a team game, but I disagree. It's an individual game played on a team.
  14. The SOX are now 15-3 in WS play since 2004.
  15. How about a shout out to Mitch! I owe him an apology for all the negative things I've said about him recently.
  16. Someone mentioned that if Roberts loses this series, he will be fired. I tend to agree. One can argue whether or not he's a good manager, but he definitely is a class act.
  17. I'm not sure he's burnt out. Like I posted earlier, he seems to be less intense when it's not an actual save. He was pretty much like that during the regular season.
  18. Giving up, imho, is turning off the TV when the game was 4-0. I doubt any of the posters here did that.
  19. Kimbrel is a legit closer; he's just not the closer he used to be. In his defense, most closers don't last as long as Kimbrel has. I doubt he'll be back next year, but he was a big factor during the regular season.
  20. Should have swept these *******s.
  21. Could have swept these *******s.
  22. More than likely after this WS some other fans will be watching Kimbrel next season.
