Fine, then please answer this. If a player is over swinging as hard as usual and throwing the baseball as hard as usual, please describe why you diagnose this player having an 'injured' shoulder(s)?
-
When the supposedly best hitter on the team is hitting like shite, I believe it affects the whole team.
-
Do you have a license to practice medicine?

There were other 'spooky' things involved in that 2004 championship. It shoudn't surprise anyone that Stephen King was involved in that 2004 season, but that's a story for a different time.
-
Speaking of 'spooky,' I remember seeing a photo taken of Kapler and Damon standing next to each other in the OF right after the Cards made the final out of the 2004 WS. The photo was taken from the back and their uniform numbers read 1918. Btw, Renteria made that final out for the Cards and his uniform number was, of course, 3.

Btw, losing the WS in '67 wasn't the worst thing that happened that season. The worst thing was the beaning of Tony Conigliaro by Jack Hamilton in August. It fractured his left cheekbone, dislocated his jaw and did severe damage to his left retina. He was 23 years old. At that point in Tony's career he was the youngest player in AL history to reach 100 HR's and had the perfect swing for Fenway Park. In the 1965 season he became the youngest player(21) in AL history to lead the AL in HR's(32). That was a real tragedy.

Gentlemen Jim Lonborg was no gentle man on the mound. He was almost as nasty as Gibson in '67. Unfortunately, he damaged his leg while skiing after the season was over and he was never the same as a pitcher.
-
Personally, I like Masa as a hitter, but I feel the SOX will trade him after the season, and will probably have to eat some of his contract. I feel this will happen whether O'Neill is signed or not.
-
I see that the projected value of Tyler 'Hans Solo' O'Neill is listed at 18 mil/yr. I'm pretty sure he's looking for a 90mil/5year deal from somebody. He's 30 years old. I don't believe the SOX FO is dumb enough to do that. Do you think the SOX should offer him 52mil/3years? His defensive stats were among the lowest of all outfielders, but I'm guessing the majority of his time will be as a DH, if the SOX sign him. My thought is I really don't care if they sign him or not. Anyway, what are your thoughts?

Ernie 'Let's Play Three' Banks.
-
I think it's safe to say that Teddy Ballgame was the greatest player to never have been on a WS winner. I think it's also safe to say that Tom Yawkey was the main reason for that.
-
In between 1918 and 2004 the SOX lost 4 World Series. All 4 went 7 games.
-
I found this interesting. The SOX have won a total of 9 championships. From 1903 -1918 they've won 5. From 2004-2018 they've won 4. Hopefully, this doesn't mean that the next championship won't be until at least 2103. This pattern is a little worrisome. I seriously doubt I have another 79 years left. Stay tuned.
-
Here's the deal, kids. To have a whisker of a chance to make the PO's the SOX have to win tomorrow and then sweep the 3 game series against the Twinkies at Fenway. But, at the same time, there's still the Tigers and Seattle, who both at this time have a better record than the SOX. So yes, mathematically there is still a slight chance.
-
I'm guessing striking out 3 batters on 9 pitches has happened more often in baseball history than 3 outs on 3 pitches.
-
The pitcher can have a lot of say in striking out 3 batters on 9 pitches. In the case of 3 outs on 3 pitches, the pitcher really has no say.
-
But seriously, the SOX would have to end the season 2-8 to finish with 78 wins. As impotent as their offense has been lately, I doubt they will go 2-8. I'm guessing more like 3-7 or 4-6. Either way the SOX will still finish under .500, which is where most of us predicted before the season started.. So really, no surprise.
-
C'mon, MOON. Let's get 78 this season and then hope for 79 next season.
-
Just checked. 3 outs on 3 pitches is also called immaculate.
-
It's amazing Judge hasn't damaged both his shoulders and back from carrying his team. But then Judge is built like a horse.
-
He definitely didn't hurt it by carrying his team.
-
SOX MVP by a lot.
-
A timely hit and it's no surprise it's by Duran.
-
I would change the word 'hitters' to 'batters.'
-
I disagree. The SOX have to win 3 more games.
