    4/14 Galileo's Well-Handled Balls. . .

    Sub .500 baseball team trying their hardest to be what that 2024 reality says they are.

    Tom Brady is retired

    If you are referring to a comeback on the Raiders, sure. I mean the fit is there. The Raiders are a franchise that oozes a Jets' like vibe of relevancy desperation since making that move to Vegas. Bring him in, probably with the Aaron Rodgers' GM level say perk package, and like the Jets last...

    4/12 A-Holes In The Infield.....

    I'm starting to think I might have picked a shitty year to decide i wanted to pick back up an everyday interest in following baseball again.

    Red Sox, Ceddanne Rafaela agree to contract extension

    Not to state the obvious, but Triston Casas and Ceddanne Rafaela were/are 2 entirely different players with their own surrounding projection variables. I for one was a lot more confident/convinced then in Casas's bat eventually playing well at the MLB level then I currently am now with...

    Tom Brady is retired

    Tom is still probably just as a good a bet to give you a full 17 today as at least half the starting QB in the league imo. Heck I'll take him hands down over 3/4 of the current starters in the AFC east :) (on both heath and ability at that)

    Tom Brady is retired

    IDK, I think a hypothetical argument could be made where winning a title wouldn't actually be the most important variable driving that decision for him. Similar to the comparison example he gave in MJ with his latter comeback to the Wizards. In that respect it's also interesting the Raiders...

    Red Sox, Ceddanne Rafaela agree to contract extension

    This is pretty much where I was landing at with my earlier stated concern. At least while admittedly not being as obsessively dialed in to the current outside market rates as I used to be before recently finding a renewed everyday interest in the game again (which is still playing catchup). But...

    Red Sox, Ceddanne Rafaela agree to contract extension

    And if he's hitting a .600ops clip come July and we are all already groaning every time he comes to the plate it looks awful imo. That isn't what I asked though. I was curious to hear just how much more money people think we would have been looking at having to pay out had we waited. Because it...

    Red Sox, Ceddanne Rafaela agree to contract extension

    You keep circling back to some implied indication within that we absolutely had to lock Rafaela in here at the cheapest possible price tag now..or else?. Where to me that should be the less prioritized piece of the equation there for the Boston Red Sox then it seems to be. I'd like to believe...

    Red Sox, Ceddanne Rafaela agree to contract extension

    You say that as if there isn't any middle ground to be had there between paying the guy now and paying a guy latter. Like say....even waiting 3 more months to put an 8 year ring on it and only after seeing a more convincing sample of MLB success latter. On a guy who's better case scenario...

    April 9, home opener

    O"Neil is shaping up to be the kind of acquisition that can pretty much put a GM into the "good job " territory by itself.
