    Lonborg suffered a severe leg injury while skiing after the '67 season. He was never the same after that.
  2. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Lonborg in '67 had a pretty good 'mean' streak. Pedro, also.
  3. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    True; it was meant to create interest for more teams, but the motivating factor, like always, was generating more money.

    One last note about HIGH NOON. John Wayne was offered the lead role, but turned it down because he felt the movie was an allegory against 'blacklisting.' Wayne was an active supporter of 'blacklisting.' Btw, a very good film about 'blacklisting' in the early '50's is TRUMBO starring Bryan Cranston.

    The unique thing about HIGH NOON was that it was filmed to have the feel of 'real time.' The movie itself was 85 minutes long and the continuous action of the movie, based on the clock, was about 100 minutes long.

    My bad. You nailed it. You represent your avatar well. Btw, "deserves has nothing to do with it" actually makes my point about the SOX even better. Thanks for the correction.
  7. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    The ending of Red River ruined it for me.
  8. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Great list. I would also add Pale Rider and Shane which are pretty much the same movie.
  9. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Gives you a good excuse to watch that great movie again.
  10. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    In real life, the only team in the AL East that deserves to be in the PO's is the Rays.
  11. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    In the movie UNFORGIVEN, Gene Hackman said right before Clint Eastwood shot him "I don't deserve this." Clint responded "sometimes you get what you don't deserve."

    Good points you've made. Unfortunately I have no answers, other than my standard one. There are too many teams and not enough talent to fill them. This is also true in the other 3 major pro sports.
  13. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    I think this series answers that question.
  14. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    The SOX are supposed to hit. Everything else is a crap shoot.
  15. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Considering mediocre starting pitching, below average defense, Covid, bad baserunning, and now a piss poor BP, my question is "how the hell are the SOX still in the hunt." Submit all answers to Ripley's believe it or not.
  16. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Well, I did accuse Judge of 'neighing' on 1st base yesterday.
  17. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    There really isn't a strike zone anymore. The MLB chUMPIRES have made certain of that.
  18. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    VAZ caught the foul tip and dropped it transferring it to his right hand. Fat ass West blew it and Coma Cora sat in the dugout with his finger up his arse.
  19. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    That was just best case scenario.
  20. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    So instead of 162 games the SOX will play 163 games.
  21. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Don't you live under a bridge? Are you stealing someone's cable?
  22. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Like I said, the SOX have as much right in the PO's as I have playing the violin at Carnegie Hall.
  23. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Cora didn't even respond. Does he actually watch the game?
  24. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    That foul tip was caught and can't be challenged. FU Joe West.
  25. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Calling this little league is being too kind.
