    4/16 - vs Cleveland - in which Dalbec finally gets a hit

    George Will's Baseball Quiz - Spring 2024

    25/41 Misunderstood the question about having 3 Hall of Famers on consecutive world series teams or I'd have 26. Really enjoyed this!

    Shohei Ohtani’s attorneys accuse interpreter of ‘massive theft’ tied to alleged gambling

    It's well known that he inserted himself into the lineup even though better match ups were available when he was chasing Ty Cobb and the all time hits record. Hell, he needed roughly 2,600 more at bats to get around 60 more hits. Add in the gambling and I'm not sure that the bolded is really...

    Shohei Ohtani’s attorneys accuse interpreter of ‘massive theft’ tied to alleged gambling

    Reminds me of the old joke where the mobsters are shaking down a deaf guy to reveal where he hid the money and his sign language translator doesn't reveal the location when it is given to him, but instead says to the mobsters, "He says you can f*ck off"

    2004 WS Celebration

    If Wakefield had passed in a different year and the Red Sox were to honor him in a year other than 2024 (say, opening day 2023 if he had passed in 2022), there wouldn't be any discussion of that or of the 20th anniversary events. Neither would be seen as a gimmick by itself, so the idea that...

    2004 WS Celebration

    I think it does include Schilling and they're planning to let him lay in whatever bed he's made. I'd be willing to bet that the response from the fans will be mixed. "Sorry, dude, we wanted you here...don't know what got into the fans..."

    Is It Over Now? Chiefs/Niners SB Thread

    Why do they have the sign language interpreters if they don't show them?

    Carl Mays and the "Rape" of the Red Sox

    It doesn't appear that Chapman was Jewish, so Mays wasn't a true Yankee in that sense

    The Dugie Down Bronx: Red Sox trade Alex Verdugo to Yankees

    Also, part of what Cora said that day (paraphrasing) "he wasn't at all ready to play" Did Dugie show up hungover or otherwise compromised or was Cora exaggerating? (Apologies if this was covered already)

    So....who is the new GM/head of baseball ops?

    I'm in the camp that says Ms. Ferreira is being authentic in what she said. Reminds me of an interview I once saw with Tom Poston where he said (paraphrasing) "I'm not a leading man, so playing second banana to Bob Newhart on a hit show is a pretty sweet gig." Some folks are just satisfied...

    September MLB news

    I agree with there being a fine for heaving his helmet into the stands. I just think Angel Hernandez should be the one to pay it.

    When Will There Be Ball/Strike Video or Robot Review in MLB?

    I think it's fair to say that MLB wouldn't be entertaining any solutions to this if it weren't for the graphics. Also, I wouldn't mind if they rolled this out this season with just one umpire, to work out the kinks in real time. Angel Hernandez comes to mind.

    Its Czechoslovakia. He'll zip in and zip out. He probably even has a car waiting...

    Just how good was Nomar Garciaparra?

    I seem to recall some speculation/conjecture at the time that the Achilles injury may have occurred while he was playing soccer, which was prohibited by the terms of his contract. A quick Google search didn't help....anyone else remember hearing this?
