  1. No game thread. Another good reason to sell, sell, and sell.
  2. I put up a list of things I don't believe were Bloom's fault. Please point out in my list what you believe is Bloom's fault.
  3. I'll agree to the firing of Bloom as long as Cora is also fired.
  4. I refuse to argue with you. No satisfaction can be gained by confronting a moron.
  5. Your reading comprehension stinks, but I blame that on the failure of our public school system.
  6. There's absolutely no reason at this point not to bring Casas to Boston ASAP.
  7. Still paying salaries to players not on the SOX who were acquired by other GM's.
  8. Unlike most GM's Bloom isn't perfect. Here's some things I can't blame Bloom for: Kike failing as a lead-off batter. Bogey being unproductive. JD being unproductive. Dalbec's promise of being productive this season, but wasn't. The trade for JBJ. I still believe Cora was the main factor in wanting JBJ back.(JBJ's amount of undeserved playing time i think supports my belief) The plethora of injuries, especially to the pitching staff. And being limited on what he could spend.
  9. Sell on, seller, sell on.
  10. The SOX still have a great shot of being only the 3rd team in MLB history to have no wins by a starter for a complete month. So there's two meaningful games being played this weekend.
  11. Bill Veeck used a midget to PH named Eddie Gaedel. Veeck told Eddie that if he swung at a pitch, he would shoot him. Cora should apply that threat to most of this line-up.
  12. MAZZ: "Ugly 9th inning." The 9th wasn't the only one.
  13. I can't prove this but I know it's true. The SOX lead MLB in swinging at pitches outside the strike zone. I was going to say 'balls,' but that might be confusing.
  14. Not living in Boston is Mazz more critical of the SOX when he's not in the booth? He's definitely not the apologist Wakefield is.
  15. Thank goodness Plaw can hit. Er, what's that? Sorry, nevermind.
  16. You'll have to ask faux genius Cora. Asking anyone else would be pure speculation.
  17. I don't believe VAZ is going anywhere.
  18. You got worms in your yard needed killing? Please call JD's worm killing service at 457-1309. Free estimates.
  19. Batters practicing swinging bunts must be similar to catchers practicing catching foul tips.
  20. Btw, Bill appeared in what I consider the funniest episode ever of CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM. The episode was titled MR SOFTEE. A true classic.
  21. Bill never used this excuse, but one of his teammates mentioned that Stanley had a habit of not covering 1st base in a timely fashion. The teammate felt that Buckner took his eye off the ball to check if Stanley was going to cover 1st. But, yes, Bill was definitely a class act.
  22. I picked Dempster because he knew he wasn't helping the club, so instead of staying for the 3rd year of his contract, he retired. Doubt we'll see that happen too often.
