    Who was that Yankem pitcher who kept throwing at Youk's head? I'm too lazy to look it up.
  2. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Back in the days before long-term contracts, when most players were on one-year contracts, baseball was a much meaner and brutal game. Not a whole lot of fraternizing with the opposition. I still never understood throwing at the batter who happened to be batting after the guy who hit the dinger.
  3. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Yeah, but then the bases are loaded.
  4. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    True, but leaning in to get hit by pitch is completely bush. Something that A-roid used to do a lot.
  5. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    That was old school. Sal Maglie and Drysdale made a living with those 'close shaves.'
  6. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Richards has a little mean streak in him.
  7. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Gibson would have already thrown one around his head area.
  8. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    It's ironic that about 6 years ago Richards was one of the best pitchers in the game until he severely injured his leg covering 1st base here at Fenway.
  9. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Richards has nasty stuff and as his confidence rises after each start, his stuff will be even nastier.

    Manaea mania comes to an end.
  11. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Man O Manaea; that's gonna leave a deep scratch on his ERA.

    My take on the SOX at this point is that the offense will come around(too many proven hitters), the starting pitching has been, for the most part, good(imho, better than expected) although I'd like to see more 6 innings starts. The defense is good enough. The major concern from my perspective is the BP. Getting from the 6th inning to Barnes has been tough, however I believe that more 6 inning starts would improve the BP. IOW, with 124 games remaining I still see this team as PO competitive.
  13. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    When he's not pitching.
  14. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    It's still too early to see any patterns yet, but your point is well taken.
  15. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    After the more than a year of what we've had to deal with, SOX baseball not being life or death has never been more accurate.
  16. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    If MLB's biggest concern is shortening the time of the games, well, lately, the SOX offense has done its share in achieving that.
  17. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Are you saying you won't be deceived again if the SOX go on another long winning streak? I have admitted that I will get fooled again.
  18. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    I know we're in trouble when MAX starts quoting me.
  19. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    I'm waiting for him to start frisking the batters before they go to the plate.
  20. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    The only thing I could count on was that the SOX always score a lot of runs when E-Rod starts. I just hope that tradition continues, although it's getting late early.
  21. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    I blame that 9 game winning streak for being deceived. But I will get fooled again.
  22. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    10 people love E-Rod's change-up. E-Rod and the A's line-up.
  23. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Any late word on Sale's progress?
  24. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Tommy was exciting. And I guarantee you no one called him Tom.
  25. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    I can only imagine how he was treated by Yawkey.
