  1. You could have done that all year long, and guess what? The record would still be what it is today, which is a few games over 500, which is nothing to brag about unless you have lowered the bar so much that anything 500, or above looks like an improvement, and a success.
  2. Personally I don’t care if he ever speaks to the media, but to question why Raffy needs to be THAT guy now, which really isn’t all of a sudden is, because now he is the face of the franchise. Bogey was that guy, but he’s gone, and now like it, or not Raffy is that guy. That’s his choice on whether he talks to the media, or not, but to only do it when he, or the team is going good is not a good look. He has sulked at 3B before when the rest of the IF was meeting on the mound, which wasn’t a good look either.
  3. Could see this coming when it happened, and Bloom was so proud of this move.
  4. Wow how things have changed.
  5. Oh no! Say it ain’t so that Masa Yoshida must go. Chaim Bloom wasn’t kidding when he said we need Yoshida bad, so let’s shut down the bidding. Boras is still laughing over this one.
  6. Na you’ll just get the same old story from Cora on how the team just has to do better that he has on playback for the last three years now.
  7. Casas hasn’t been doing much with bat lately anyway no matter what side of the rubber they throw from?
  8. Manny was paid plenty of money, and he was never expected to play chummy with the media, but there were plenty of other guys around to do that unlike now with Raffy, or unlike when Bogey was here who did the talking. Poor Raffy, but right now he’s the face of the franchise whether that face is spitting out seeds, chawing tobacco, or whether he’s hitting HR, or striking out with the bases loaded.
  9. 1967 was a fight for the ages with the Twins, and Red Sox at Fenway for the final weekend of the season fighting for 1 spot to play in the WS along with Detroit, and the Pale Sox. 1 spot with 4 teams fighting going right down to the last out with the Red Sox winning out. Toddlers sounds right with the way both a going. Both had better teams in 1967.
  10. As it turned out yes, but one game against the juggernaut White Sox is still meh to me. Just like the zRed Sox winning 2-3. Meh.
  11. Bought, and PAID for by the Boston Red Sox, but not played for. It couldn’t have gone much worse for Boston, and much better for Atlanta.
  12. Devers for Ever some days, and Never Devers other days, and that’s what he will always be as long as he’s in Boston.
  13. Another Sale Day yesterday with Chris Cy Young Sale pitching 6 strong innings, and allowing 2 hits with 7 K’s, and not allowing a run lowering his league leading ERA to 2.38, and leads the league with 213 K’s. He didn’t notch his league leading 17th win as the Braves couldn’t hold a 1-0 lead. All in all not bad for a 35 year old who is pitching like a 25 year old. Can you believe it? Atlanta can.
  14. Bobby D DFA’d.
  15. 6 days ago you said ND could finish in the top 2, or 3 this year. There was nothing to suggest then they were going to be a good team this year, and there is nothing to suggest now they are a good team. From top 2, or 3 this year to now a total bummer is quite the flip flop.🤭🙈
  16. Or then again move down with a loss. Not surprised at all that ND lost.
  17. This could be the season that Notre Dame finishes in the top 2, or 3? Wrong, wrong, and wrong again.🤭🙈
  18. Well a moon you did it again, which you have an uncanny ability to do time, and time again counting on a win before it happens, and then putting the old jinx on someone, and watching them lose. It’s not a gift, but a curse. I said a few days ago that this wasn’t one of Notre Dame’s better teams, and that was proven today, and I’m pretty sure this won’t be the last loss either. Notre Dame is not that good.🙈🤭
  19. Good post as usual Max. JH must hate paying out millions every year to players that aren’t playing for the Red Sox especially a CY Young Winner, or not playing at all, because of a s*** happens injury.
  20. That’s what I’ve been saying for the last two years when others on here keep bringing up JH past spending habits that this is not the same JH anymore.
  21. I don’t know why it’s often pondered on here on where the Red Sox are in regards to the salary cap like that is how much money the Red Sox are going to spend up to. Did JH say that’s what he’s willing to do?
  22. If the report was true that Texas offered to trade for Sale, and take on his whole contract, and Atlanta was interested in Sale last year too, and neither happened I don’t know what would lead anyone to believe Bloom would have done it this year.
  23. Not so sure about this. Dugy, and Bloom had a meeting out on the field after a game last year before he was fired, and the report was Dugy didn’t appear to happy with what Bloom was telling him.
