  1. I read that the SOX offered Bogey 220 million for 9 years earlier this season.
  2. Another damn fine job by Pivetta. Definitely has to be the frontrunner for AL Pitcher of the Month.
  3. Btw, the SOX FO offered Bogey 24 million per year for 9 years. On what planet is that considered a disgusting offer?
  4. Yup; he and JBJ always bust it running to 1st.
  5. 7-8-9-1-2 adds up to 5 dingers.
  6. I wonder when the last time the 7-8-9 batters hit HR's in the same game for the SOX?
  7. Renteria made the last out for the Cards in that final game of the '04 WS, and he was wearing #3 on his jersey.
  8. Zimmerman definitely hasn't gotten over the last inning.
  9. DEVERS DEliVERS! With JD being an on-base machine, maybe Devers and JD should switch places in the line-up.
  10. After giving up HR's to Dalbec and Cordero in the same inning, Zimmerman was immediately put on suicide watch by the O's manager.
  11. I'm beginning to adjust to JD being a slap hitter and not a HR hitter. I hope he wins the BA title this season.
  12. Hopefully, the SOX will show more spirit than they did last night. C'mon, SOX, don't force me to discuss my aluminum siding history again.
  13. It's about time someone mentioned JH in this discussion. He hired Bloom for a reason. I'm guessing the reason was he wants the SOX to operate the same way Tampa did. Develop SOX players in the minors and then get rid of them when they become too expensive and every once in a while sign a free agent. JH is tired of getting burned with long term and expensive contracts. Btw, he did buy the SOX 4 championship teams over the last 18 years.
  14. To paraphrase Strother Martin, " What we got here is a .500 ball club."
  15. As far as who I would pick as the best all-around athlete I've ever seen. It would have to be Bo Jackson and Jim Brown would be second.
  16. Jim Brown hated Franco Harris, especially after Harris passed him in rushing yards. Brown told the press that Harris was a gutless runner, who ran out of bounds instead of fighting for more yardage. Exactly the opposite of how Jim Brown played the game. In his career Brown averaged over 100 yards per game rushing and was, by far, the best running back in the history of the game.
  17. The booth was yapping about Story's athleticism, which reminded me that Jim Brown came to Syracuse University via a lacrosse scholarship. He was so dominant at lacrosse that some lacrosse rules were changed because of his skills.
  18. Dalbec's body language at the plate illustrates to the chUMP that he will not argue any call. Dalbec: Was that a strike? chUMP: Yup Dalbec: Gosh.
  19. Franchy has a very small 'hot spot' at the plate, and I blame the opposing pitcher for not finding it.
  20. We SOX fans are about a 10 game winning streak away from being able to call the O's lousy.
  21. I get the feeling that if Story was even moved to the OF, he'd be good there also. Similar to Kike, but w/o the pop-ups.
  22. I believe I read somewhere that pop-up doubles can only be driven in by another pop-up double.
  23. Looks like Devers also took this second game off.
