    lol

    unfortunately, we'll never know. IMHO, JH should have sucked it up, signed Mookie, and dealt with the budget for a few years. after all, what's $40-50M to a multi-billionaire, right?
  3. Duran Is The Man
    totally agree.
  4. Duran Is The Man
    meanwhile, his previous GM is on his way to his second straight NLCS. i think JH is his own worst enemy sometimes.
  5. Duran Is The Man
    it was funny. Randy needs to lighten up a bit.
  6. Duran Is The Man
    isn't that what any good GM is supposed to do? i don't really see any of the players DD traded away as being someone we might have missed. i hope the next GM trades "suspects" for proven talent.
  7. Duran Is The Man
    one could also argue that had they played more games, they might have won more than 108 games.
  8. Duran Is The Man
    Rendon's contract almost makes Sale's look like a bargain.
  9. Duran Is The Man
    i know. i doubt we have anybody that has missed less than 11 games in a season the last 6 years.
  10. Duran Is The Man
    too bad we didn't get Semien instead of Story. just another swing and miss by Bloom.

    Rangers are the closest MLB team to me and i've been there dozens of times. guess i'll root for them. and screw the Rays. glad they're out. the only team i hate worse than the Skankees.

    he couldn't hit one if he tried.
  13. Duran Is The Man
    don't worry, when his career is over, i'm sure he'll have no trouble finding work as a human windmill.
  14. Duran Is The Man
    it's things like this that separate a bad team from a fair team, a fair team from a good team and a good team from a great team.
  15. Duran Is The Man
    thanks to two errors on the same play by Baltimore. amazingly, some people think defense doesn't matter.
  16. Duran Is The Man
    it all matters. i don't know why he's being so hard-headed about it. maybe we could get Bill Buckner to convince him.
  17. Duran Is The Man
    it has made sense for far too long yet hasn't happened. he's only been worst or second worst defensive 3B every year he's played but his first. and had he played a full year that year, he would have been the worst then too.
  18. Duran Is The Man
    ;)

    even with the Sox being out of it for quite some time, Cora has still yet to use Devers at 1B. this blows my mind that we can see this but he doesn't. at this point, what do they have to lose? it's ridiculous having such an aawful defense and even more ridiculous that he doesn't seem to care to do anything about it. i really like your Matt CHapman idea. and it makes a ton of sense so....it will never happen. i guess Cora is going to stick with guys that can't play defense for s*** (see Rodriguez, Kike) because he's a "players coach".
  20. Duran Is The Man
    those rest days were important. because if Cora hadn't given them all those "rest days" they would have finished even deeper in the AL East cellar.
  21. Duran Is The Man
    yeah....but doesn't every team play a "brutal" schedule? maybe all the Braves, Rays, Orioles, Dodgers and Rangers players are just conditioned better? no offense, but i think any coach/manager/player using this as an excuse is doing so to avoid saying that his players/team just aren't very good.
  22. Duran Is The Man
    That and trade Masa works for me.
  23. Duran Is The Man
    i feel the same way, but....if we get a #1 and a #2 SP and a big RH bat, i think there is a pretty decent chance next year. however, this would mean that JH is going to have to spend some money. which he may not want to do. if he doesn't or they don't fill the holes, it is going to be several more years hanging out in the cellar of the ALEast.
  24. Duran Is The Man
    sad but true.
  25. Duran Is The Man
    i sort of have a different take on Cora's cheating. when it comes to winning, i subscribe to the old theory that "if you're not cheating, then you're not trying". i want the Sox to use every advantage they can to win balls games. if it's cheating, that's fine. just don't get caught. LOL. with that said, i've been unhappy with Cora many times over the years. besides "resting" players two weeks into the season, one thing that particularly irks me is his unwillingness to challenge calls. i've seen numerous plays that would have been overturned that he never even bothered with. WTF? C'mon man, you have to use every tool available to win games and it's like he doesn't care. he consistently ranks near the bottom of all managers in challenges. He has just 18 this year. Kevin Cash leads with 54. i know there is a lot of Cora support on here and though i'm fine if he stays, i wouldn't be upset even a little if he was canned.
