    Just because everyone needs another good time waster, I present Batter Up!

    The site has just added a pitcher version of the game. Same style profile clip as the batter game, shown from the CF camera view (which is handy to know so you can tell which hand they throw with). Today is the second day it's been up but there is an archive to go back and play yesterday's...

    May: Red Sox discussion, observations and trend tracking...AKA It's not all about the Benjamins

    That is usually the case. Pythagorean W-L is generally pretty close because of it. League-wide, the average pyth wins per team is usually 81...exactly .500, same as actual wins.

    Wave of mutilation: The latest injuries

    The bolded is a big reason why we see guys, particularly pitchers, removed or scratched from games for seemingly minor dings and ailments. They may not prevent the player from performing effectively but they might make adjustments, even subconsciously, to protect the injury or avoid/minimize...

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

    I've been out all day and started reading the thread before I even checked today's scores. Seeing that this thread was bumped and the post that did it, I just assumed that the impetus was that the Sox pen blew the game today and bumper though Schreiber was the missing link. Oh the irony that...

    The rest only comes with the bases empty

    5/4 Grissom needs a day off

    Did Angel just screw up in favor of the Sox? Even NESN though Cedanne went.

    5/4 Grissom needs a day off

    Usain Bolt wasn't legging that one out. Terrible decision to go.

    Yikes. The whole play in front of him and he keeps going?

    5/4 Grissom needs a day off

    That's only his second HR allowed. (7th appearance)

    Hard to argue with that. #freezackshort?

    5/4 Grissom needs a day off

    Cooper bailed out Hamilton there. What the hell was he rushing for?

    5/4 Grissom needs a day off

    Technically yes. He hasn't been seen in over a week. I imagine we'll see him today at some point.

    5/4 Grissom needs a day off

    You mean, aside from being a LHH? I imagine Cora's trying to figure out how to use the guy.

    Bally Sports RSNs "reportedly preparing to file bankruptcy"

    The trouble is that MLB's interest is on Diamond's side. The better the deal is with Comcast, the better position Diamond is in to pay MLB more money (now or in the future). Waiving the black-outs in order to put the games on MLB.tv (free or not) hurts Diamond's leverage with Comcast. They...
