    I didn't think he did words.

    Do You Want John Henry To Sell The Red Sox?

    Yeah, honestly, it's a stupid fucking question. The last twenty-odd years have been the single greatest time to be a Boston sports fan since fucking ever. A huge part of that is the four World Championships won by the Boston Red Sox under the current ownership. The previous regime contributed...

    Nobody is gonna give a shit about this inning tomorrow morning, let alone when they are making roster decisions.

    2024 Red Sox: Better, Worse, or About the Same?

    Before Giolito exploded, I was pretty solidly in the "better" camp. Now I'm skeptical. I think we're going to finish in the big muddle in the middle and I just hope it's at the top and we can maybe eke into a wild card. To me, this season is all about Bello, Casas, Rafaela, Duran, Anthony...

    If the RS sign Montgomery are you satisfied with the off-season?

    Yeah, that's a better phraseology.

    If the RS sign Montgomery are you satisfied with the off-season?

    Because I don't want to go into a post season series as underdogs in the matchups of the best pitchers.

    Heinz Ketchup is returning to Fenway

    If you're not using Heinz, what the fuck are you even doing with your life? Generations of your ancestors are offering keening laments from the afterlife now that you've gone so far astray.

    If the RS sign Montgomery are you satisfied with the off-season?

    How the hell are there 156 people who think this off season has gone better than I do? It's been a halfway decent off season. I like most of the moves. Depending on the details of a Montgomery contract, I'll probably like it. But we need a legitimate ace and Montgomery isn't it.

    Best time to visit?

    This thread convinced me to get cannoli at the grocery store. They are disappointing, as one would expect from grocery store cannoli.

    Best time to visit?

    If you go to the museum of science, they have--or at least had--an electrical exhibit which is very cool but extremely loud. If you're worried that your kids aren't going to be able to handle the loud, they aren't going to be able to handle the loud. It's just extremely loud. Also, very cool if...

    Sox trade John Schreiber to KC for minor league right-hander David Sandlin

    Side question: Is closer aroma the Axe Body Spray of baseball?

    2024 Red Sox Spring Training

    The 80s were a deeply weird time in ways I don't think we really understood at the time.

    Sox trade John Schreiber to KC for minor league right-hander David Sandlin

    I believe this is a radical understatement.

    Offseason rumors

    Reasonable question. The answer is the number of pitches thrown and the number of batters faced. Improved defense means fewer batters faced, fewer pitches thrown, and more of an ability to get the right pitcher for the situation. Replay last season, but eliminate the worst 5% (I pulled that...
