Great run by MOON on the opening game threads. Ya dun good, ol' buddy.
-
Btw, contraction would also be beneficial to the other 3 major team sports.
-
W/O Latino ballplayers, MLB would really be hurting.
-
Exactly, but as you and I both know that will never happen. Another elephant in the MLB room is the sparsity of African Americans who are interested in MLB.
-
It seems like Lowrie has been around since the 90's.
-
What's really a shame is that with all the terrible teams already in MLB, the powers that be are still talking about expansion. If it's a choice between money or quality, money wins every time.
-
If the SOX are gonna keep JBJ, he should only be used as a defensive replacement in later innings. If Cora hasn't figured out that JBJ can't hit at this point, then Cora's not the genius I thought he was.
-
That figures. The Oakland Awfuls are only in the league to fill up the schedule.
-
JBJ may be one of a very few outfielders who has hung around so long because of his glove. It happens more often with SS's, 2nd basemen, and catchers, but not so much with OF's.
-
Mad Max, but you may have a point.
-
The SOX have their 2 best pitchers lined up for tomorrow and Wednesday. Should be interesting.
-
SOX LF's: Williams Yaz Rice Manny Not too shabby.
-
But with all the distractions that go with the guy named Manny, no one worked harder at his craft I lost track of how many times Manny's grandmother died.
-
Here's another Manny being Manny. Manny left Cleveland to sign with the SOX for a lot more money. So Manny has a conversation with both Bogey and Devers telling them that they should stay in Boston even if they have to take less money. IOW, Manny pulls a 'do what I say, and not a do as I do.' Ya gotta love Manny.
-
When Manny was in the NESN booth the other day, he made a statement that if a player hadn't played for Boston or NY, he hadn't really played major league baseball. That may have been a little exaggerated, but I knew where he was coming from.
-
No, just the fact that sometimes one has to tip one's cap to the opposing pitcher.
-
Thank goodness that MLB allows teams to make trades. Can you imagine what the SOX would look like if they could only use pitchers from their farm?
-
He might have been nervous. Coming up from the farm and pitching for the SOX is a whole lot different than pitching for Kansas City, for example.
-
How come when Pivetta or Wacha dominate a team with their pitching, we never post how bad the opposing offense is? That's a question for the ages.
-
He eventually did turn terrible, so forget I posted the above.
-
I hope Mr Seabold didn't unpack.
-
Yankems losing to A's in the Bronx.
-
They just beat Bieber; he's pretty good.
-
Knowing the large number of crap teams there are in MLB, we're fortunate that the SOX aren't one of them.
-
Although I would love to see the SOX not lose any more games the rest of the season, I seriously doubt that will happen. Just be happy knowing that they will be in the PO's where anything can happen.
