    After last night's game Winck was sent down to Wooville.
  2. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Btw, will this be Bello's breakout game? Stay tuned.

    J. Berrios vs B. Bello REF(RF) Dugo(LF) JD Devers Kike(2B) Cordero Dalbec(SS) McGuire Duran Injuries Galore (you may have remembered that character from the movie GOLDFINGER. He was Pussy Galore's brother.) This game should be televised on Comedy Central. As bad as this line-up is, JD may still be the weakest batter in it. No matter, this will not prevent me from posting GO SOX!

    Although Lonborg was referred to as 'Gentleman Jim,' he had a pretty good mean attitude on the mound. He was known to hit a few batters and he would have had no problem plunking an A-hole like Vlad, Jr.

    One last thing about MLB umpiring. As far as the Umpires' union having made any effort to improve the umpiring I've got two words, Angel Hernandez.

    Regarding Kevin's comments on Robo chUMPS. Robots have been replacing workers at jobs for years and most of those replaced workers were doing their jobs better than most of these chUMPS. Also, Kevin, if these chUMPS were doing a 'good job' like you said, then Robo Umps wouldn't be in the conversation.

    Get out your rally caps.

    At this point one has to believe that when Franchy does hit a dinger, it's a complete accident. It's sad in a way to have that much strength and not have the talent to take advantage of it.

    Your numbers make a strong argument for Pedro and I believe no pitcher in baseball history had a better season than Pedro had in 2000. In 2000 Pedro led the AL with an ERA under 2. Placing second was Clemens with an ERA over 3. I'm still going with Gibby as my number 1 with Pedro as a very close number 2.

    Big Papi just hit one over the SOX BP.
  11. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    I agree. Wacha has to be one of the priorities.
  12. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    The Cards had a better rested Gibson, who is the best RH pitcher I've ever seen. No disrespect to Pedro, but Bob was greater for a longer period of time. Hell, Gibson was one of the main reasons MLB lowered the pitching mound Btw, if I'm not mistaken, in Lonborg's 2 wins against the Cards in that '67 WS he gave up a total of 3 hits. He was amazing.
  13. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    He pitched after his accident, but he was never as good. I believe he was 25 in 1967.

    Good news for 2023: Wacha, the SOX best starter, should be back. Bad news for 2023: Wacha isn't going to be the guy who will be available every 5th day like a Pivetta.

    Years ago I liked the euphemism used to describe ineffective pitchers. They were referred to as 'innings eaters.' Wakefield during his last couple of years was called that a lot.
  16. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Only seasoned SOX fans would know who this is in reference to.
  17. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    I believe Franchy is still young enough to change sports. He has the build of a guy who might have a shot at football.
  18. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    I certainly hope that Sale doesn't decide to take up skiing in the off season.
  19. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    You can never have too much bad pitching. SOX motto for years.
  20. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Great hustle by Arroyo, but one should never slide into 1st, especially a fragile person.
  21. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Good call.
  22. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    The SOX have finished last since 2012 with large payrolls. 4 times I believe. One should be used to the embarrassment.
  23. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    I often wonder what does a pitching coach say to a guy who can't pitch?
  24. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    A nod is better than a Winck.
  25. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Good D by Devers.
