    Just a thought. Has any team in recent memory won 100+ games and had so many question marks concerning their BP going into the PO's like this SOX team?
  2. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Hate Kelly if you want, but he still has the best arm in this SOX BP. I would have him on the PO roster. Who knows? Maybe he'll get hot at the right time. What's more worrisome than Kelly is Sale. I thought he might throw a couple of innings today. The last time he was exposed on the mound Sale's FB was 91. The excuse was mechanical problems. Well, that will be answered Friday and, hopefully, he's back to 97.

    I have an amplifier that I use to play music. When I'm done I hit a switch that puts the amp in the stand-by mode. In stand-by no music can be heard until I switch it back to on. Next Friday Cora will hit the SOX switch to on. Let's all hope that the SOX perform similarly to my amplifier.
  4. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    The biggest difference between these two line-ups is that the Yankems' line-up doesn't disappear after the 4th batter.
  5. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Believe whatever gets you thru the day.
  6. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Nope, just a valid observation. Of course, your posts have always been positive concerning the SOX this year. Hypocrite.
  7. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    If anyone here is really confident the SOX will make it thru the 1st round, please send me whatever you're smoking.

    For a minute there I thought POM had finally found himself, but as soon as that thought crossed my mind, bing, bang, boom. He's still lost.
  9. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    The good thing about my predictions is that I'm usually wrong.
  10. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Why don't you post your predictions and stop being so thin-skinned?
  11. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    I like having Sale on this team, but I'm not sure he can be defined as the ACE of the staff because, as I've mentioned previously, he's only at his effective best 5 months out of a 6 month season. I guess we'll have to observe if he is effective in the PO's.
  12. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    I don't think it's too early to post my predictions for the upcoming AL playoffs, so here they are: WC winner: Yankems ALDS winners: Yankems and Astros ALCS winner: Astros Great regular season by the SOX, in fact, one of the best examples of overachieving I've seen in a very long time. Definition of overachieving: When a team's won/lost record doesn't equate to the actual talent of the overall team. This exact same team could just as easily won 88-90 games this year.
  13. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    I'd love to see Mookie finish the season with at least a .350 BA. That's Wiliamsesque.
  14. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    The SOX won/lost record and their BP are a perfect example of an oxymoron.
  15. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Pearce showing off on that pop fly.
  16. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Lately, LAZ has made a strong point of making the PO roster and isn't lately what we're looking for.
  17. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Maybe a mid ranked prospect, preferably a relief pitcher.
  18. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    The only result in the post season that I would label an upset would be if a NL team won the WS.
  19. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Seeing that Travis doesn't have a future with the SOX, I wonder if the O's would have any interest in him?
  20. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    There's really no excuse that JBJ isn't a better bunter.
  21. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    That Apple watch promo is to commercials what the O's are to baseball.
  22. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    If Sale's history, as again proven this season, is that he is at his effective best 5 months out of a six month season, perhaps he should start pitching in May instead of April.
  23. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    If this start by Sale was intended to be a confidence builder for him or us fans going into the PO's, it failed miserably.
  24. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    OB mentioned that the last team to win 50 or more at home and on the road was the 2004 Cards. I seem to remember that year.
  25. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    I couldn't agree more. I don't get it and it pisses me off.
