  1. But still another bat was needed before the season started, and before everything has played out. Brez thought that bat was Bregman’s.
  2. To start I was responding on MVP’s post this time. I get your point hypothetically, but you couldn’t have counted on the Con Man having a career year so far either. Remember the Con Man was supposed to be an addition to Bregman, which thankfully Brez botched, but when that happened another bat was still needed. Yes if Story, and Duran produced along with little pinky Anthony most likely the W-L would be better, and even better than that if another big bat had been added.
  3. Going back to my old Navy days. SWEEPERS SWEEPERS man your brooms.
  4. And I’ll say again. Fantasy Island.
  5. Also it’s quite a difference between the hotbed for baseball in Boston, and whatever Florida is.
  6. Story Land has been opened, and closed for repairs, and maintenance pretty much since he’s been here, so it’s been iffy when he’d be open, and when he’d be closed.
  7. Still on the Sean Murphy kick. Murphy has ASCIH of coming to Boston. Bad contract, bad player, and bad fit, so to sum it all up just bad all the way around. Come on man!
  8. Lots of fans still go to Fenway just for the experience, and more, and more visiting teams fans are going to Fenway also.
  9. I agree mostly. A win is a win, and counts just as much, but yes the Red Sox have been winning against some pretty weak sisters, and yes the Yankees have been a pretty weak sister for quite a few games now. I don’t think it’s been who’s playing the best, but who’s not playing the worst. The Yankees played some bad ball in the field as did the Angles. The Red Sox played bad when they lost those two games in Colorado. I know the White Sox had a winning record, but they are still a bad team. Having said all that I think this is the weakest I’ve seen the league in years, and someone is going to the WS who might not be that good at all, so in that way it’s so different this year, and as KG once said Anything’s possible.
  10. I agree. 6 games under 500 looks a lot better than 14 games under 500, but it’s still 6 games under 500 in a very weak watered down league. I’ve said all along that 500 is the magic number, and even then is a very low bar, but get to 500, and then see how things look. It’s still illusion/delusion at this point.
  11. #1 you would have been selling high as I advocated after 2024 instead of selling low now. Alonso is a lot better power bat that the Red Sox need more. Once again it’s not that complicated you’re trying to make it out to be.
  12. Another episode of MOOn saying I’m not defending, or apologizing for bresLOW staring some of the same favorites like sucks, bitched, and botched. LMAO the whole time. 😜
  13. You said it best in a lot fewer words that the average fan doesn’t get into the scrutiny of all the moves, or the cost to do so., and yes it’s the W-L record is what matters most, and if some spent time away from here, and went to other venues they would know that.
  14. I think Bregman was overrated by some, because of the hot start he got off to last year.
  15. Huh? It wouldn’t have been that complicated that you’re trying to make it out to be, nor should it be.
  16. Exactly! Any two of Alonso/Con Man/Schwarber would have been a better combination. Not landing another hitter, and then pivoting to a pitcher was not a good backup plan to me.
