  1. Bra Man. Could be used as another Marvel Comics movie character.
  2. Home run on an 0-2 pitch. Bra Man, you're killing me.
  3. Nothing definite yet, but he will retire as a BRUIN.
  4. Well at least he didn't K. He's currently 5th in the AL in strike outs. 180 million doesn't buy much anymore.
  5. I don't know which player exudes more confidence. Bra Man on the mound or Dalbec at the plate.
  6. Law of averages tells me Story is going yard.
  7. I do know that the name Quasimodo rings a bell.
  8. Btw, Mr Mojo Risin' is an anagram of Jim Morrison's name.
  9. Robby Krieger was The Doors' secret weapon. He's an excellent guitarist and wrote most of their 'hits' including Light My Fire.
  10. The Doors released 7 studio albums during Jim's time with them and, imho, they are all classics.
  11. Devers' RBI are being held down because the SOX don't have a decent lead-off batter.
  12. I believe I'll play something by THE DOORS. Yup, the LA WOMAN cd.
  13. A. Davis (0-1) vs M.Perez (1-2) Looks like we got us a BP game. I'm not expecting 6 innings from Davis. And, hopefully, the Rangers won't get 6 innings from former SOX alumnus Perez. Go SOX!
  14. The SOX great LH, Mel Parnell, otoh, had very little problem pitching at Fenway.
  15. Speaking of pitching in regards to SOX and Yankems, Whitey Ford had a career record at Fenway of 7-6 with an ERA of 6.16. So for a large part of his career Whitey, under Stengel's watch, wasn't allowed to pitch at Fenway.
  16. Yup, and he was soon followed by the Yankems' Ryne Duran, he of the bottle neck glasses, which many of his contemporaries believed were nothing but a psychological prop. He always threw his last warm-up pitch up against the netting behind home plate.More psychology.
  17. Btw, during an interview after he retired Mickey Mantle was asked who was the toughest pitcher he faced during his career. Mantle quickly answered Dick Radatz. "I knew he was going to throw me a fastball and I still couldn't hit it."
  18. The Rangers' announcers were discussing Dick Radatz regarding his holding the record for most strikeouts in a season by a relief pitcher. It was in 1964 and he struck out 181 batters while pitching 157 innings. Hell, nowadays, most of these pampered starters don't pitch 157 innings.
  19. Thank goodness the SOX aren't looking for starting help; at least right now anyway.
