I'm ok getting smoked and having a reason for big ceremonies.Am I wrong or do we always get smoked after big ceremonies?
Yeah the problem isn’t shitty range or lack of athleticism. It’s flat out not making the plays that need to be made every time.The errors today are plays that a major leaguer needs to be able to make.
Bring itOkay, cool. That would be the nice start of a miracle comeback which would be unbelievably appropriate today.
I was hoping someone would post that! Still makes me laugh.This is the first one I remember, but it was post 2004

Hey, there's only one way to find out...A lot of the game thread mojo from the 2004 era would not be allowed two decades later, for various reasons.
And, you know, only scoring 1 run in each of the last two losses (I’m assuming a scoreless 9th here).Defense has been so damn bad after looking really good for two series. Multiple games thrown away by failing to make the routine play.
Yeah, that too. But I have more faith in the offense settling in than the defense. It was a huge issue last year and it’s looking like one again.And, you know, only scoring 1 run in each of the last two losses (I’m assuming a scoreless 9th here).
I don't think so. More likely stretching him out to save the rest of the pen.They stretching out Winck to start?
Five innings’ worth of pitches thrown in two innings is the new market inefficiency.They stretching out Winck to start?
LOL - I certainly wasn't fishing for any of that stuff.A lot of the game thread mojo from the 2004 era would not be allowed two decades later, for various reasons.
It would be a fitting tribute to Wake's 2004 ALCS game 3 outing if the Sox can go on to win the next 4 (or 8) games.Letting Winckowski go 65+ pitches to save the bullpen that didn't pitch yesterday seems like a really good way to end up down another relief pitcher.
I mean, it's a move made with the rest of the series coming up, right? Not to mention that they're not off again til the 22nd. Might as well not burn more guys in a game that they're not competing in.Letting Winckowski go 65+ pitches to save the bullpen that didn't pitch yesterday seems like a really good way to end up down another relief pitcher.
Sure, I understand that there are reasons for it. Just already traumatized by injuries this season.I mean, it's a move made with the rest of the series coming up, right? Not to mention that they're not off again til the 22nd. Might as well not burn more guys in a game that they're not competing in.
