  1. NL West is also pretty good, so far.
  2. My bad, it s/b 5/25 C.Morton 2-2 4.60ERA vs G.Richards 4-2 3.72ERA Braves lead the ML in HR's. SOX lead the ML in runs. Should be fun. GO SOX!
  3. I think Verdugo will continue to improve. Neither of us knows what his ceiling will be.
  4. Dalbec definitely didn't take advantage of that mistake. That pitch was screaming to be launched.
  5. Hey, Max, if Cora tells you to drink the punch, please don't.
  6. I get it, Max. In your mind Cora can do no wrong. He does appear god-like to many SOX fans.
  7. I guess we'll never find out. I am assuming that Devers will be rested Tuesday after Monday's day off.
  8. Speaking of the SOX offense; I'll be watching ARMY OF THE DEAD on Netflix right after this game.
  9. This and more underhand tossed questions will be asked after the game. Congrats to Cordero; that was one pissed-off squirrel.
  10. Cordero just hit the hardest HR this year. 118mph. Speaking of 'blind squirrels.'
  11. Is there a reading comprehension problem here? Giving a team the best chance of winning doesn't mean they're gonna win every game. Geez.
  12. And one can't assume how well or how bad a pitcher will be before the game starts. Have you not ever heard of the 'blind squirrel rule?'
  13. I didn't assume anything. In fact I did say that as well as Wheeler is pitching it may not have made a difference. My main point was that Cora did not give his team the best chance of winning, and that should be the manager's main job.
  14. The SOX have 4 very good hitters. One (Dugo) is out on a day-to day. Knowing this, Cora the Coddler, decided to rest two of the three remaining. Based on how well Wheeler is pitching, it may not have made a difference. However, the line-up Cora put together doesn't define the motto "giving my team the best chance to win." I know the players love Cora because he pampers them so well, but being a fan and not a well compensated player, I do not love Cora. And I realize Cora will lose sleep over my not loving him.
  15. With the 2 days off this week, perhaps Cora can realign the starting staff. E-rod has qualified as a #5. He should also miss his next start.
  16. Good news: The SOX have won this 3 game series. Bad news: The SOX won't face as weak a line-up for a long time.
  17. Thank goodness he's not coaching the BRUINS. He'd be giving Rask and Bergeron a day of rest tonight.GO BRUINS!
  18. Usually when a pitcher has a good to great W/L record, his other pitching stats follow decently in line also. E-rod has been the exception to this rule most of his career.
  19. That would make him a 4-Wheeler with the distinct possibility of becoming an 8-Wheeler.
  20. I hadn't realized that VAZ is now a liability on this team. Of course, if over-rated E-rod stinks up the place, posters here can blame Vaz.
  21. E-rod better be pretty good today. The SOX getting him 5 or more runs today may be asking too much.
  22. Cora wants to be sure they're well-rested for the WS. There's coddling and then there's Cora coddling.
  23. Tampa can't be original about anything. They even had to copy the SOX in winning 9 straight. Plus their ballpark is a disgrace, even by Florida standards.
