For the life of me I cannot understand why many folks here are not Brock Holt supporters (and no intent to throw shade on you, Moon, this just seemed like a good segueway into raising this topic). As you will see I seldom post here, being overwhelmed by the baseball knowledge present here... but I lurk nearly every day during the season, looking to gain knowledge. Brock has become maybe my favorite Red Sox at this time; he’s played nearly every position except pitcher and catcher, has a batting average at or near the top on this team, and is a wonderful clubhouse and community presence... why would you want to let such a player go?

Perhaps my memory is flawed, but I definitely recall posters like Slasher9 and Moonslav with a Red Sox board prior to this one.

I don’t post here like almost never (obviously!) but I have been following this board for many years, back when it was associated with the Boston Globe. As proof of that, I clearly remember a character who went by the name of Smiley Beni. I just want to comment that over the years you are my favorite poster, but your login pic may have something to do with that:). I really should participate more, but the depth of baseball knowledge here can be downright intimidating... visiting this board is a morning ritual for me, and it is folks like you and many, many others that makes it very entertaining, and informative. Keep up the great work, gang! Mike

Update: Just sold the Sunday ticket via SeatGeek.

Any Cleveland area Sox fans here? I’ve got tickets for the Friday and Sunday game, just one seat; my daughter was going to join my wife and I for this trip (we live in Rochester, NY) but it looks like she won’t make it due to some late commitments. There’s still a slight chance she might make the Friday game, but Sunday is definitely out. Friday night tickets are upper left field bleacher seats, Sunday is much better, first baseline. I paid $50/seat for the Friday tickets when I bought them earlier in the year, $150/seat for the Sunday tickets. Will let them go for 1/2 price. If interested, please email me: ohgunrunner@yahoo.com. Go Sawx! Mike

On the plus side, Spanks are losing to the Orioles 4-2, top of the 8th.

Hey, remember that Oriole game a few weeks back when we were getting our ass kicked and we pounded them? There’s still hope (although with Pom on the mound it’s a long shot).
