    2004 WS Celebration

    In Game Five of the ALCS, watching the clip of Wakefield, Schilling, and Lowe walking to the bullpen in extra inning to a standing ovation by the Fenway fans gave me goosebumps. I'm not sure if I've ever seen a team and the fans successfully spur each other as much as in that series...

    Do You Want John Henry To Sell The Red Sox?

    I went with No. FSG tried something with Bloom. I didn't work out. They're trying something with Breslow, let's see how that pans out. So far, it seems like an emphasis on cheap, and hopefully, quality pitching which would be something that this organization has been sorely lacking. Also...

    The Frailty of the Modern Pitcher

    Yeah. That and your worst pitchers are potentially on the mound for the same amount of innings as your best hurlers. Everyone would like to have quality in their bullpen from top to bottom, but there are reasons some pitchers only come in when the game is out of hand. Thanks.

    Dak Prescott in trouble

    My initial post was changed since I wimped out and didn't want to catch a lot of flak. I can live with this.

    The Frailty of the Modern Pitcher

    Any idea why? It seems that it would make the transition to high school ball more difficult.

    The Frailty of the Modern Pitcher

    Snipping this just for technical reasons, but... this is a great post. It also plays to the thought that I have had in that while pitchers throw fastballs harder, they still need to disguise the off-speed stuff so that the pitcher looks pretty much the same way while throwing a curve ball as he...

    Macksonville: Mac Traded to Jaguars

    I'm glad that they pulled the trigger on this. As long as he was here, there would have been a temptation to rejuvenate his career. Having traded him, I wish him the best of luck in Jacksonville. I'm very skeptical that he is an NFL starting quarterback so he's the Jags problem now.

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

    If you use the end of last year's roster for comparison to this year's roster, it's somewhat improved. If you use the roster that broke Spring Training last year as the comparison, it's light years ahead simply because the Sox had warm bodies in he middle of the infield up until Kike was traded...

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

    About the same. The loss of Giolito doesn't really move the needle for me since i wasn't that optimistic that he would have contributed much more than providing tape measure shots to the opposition. The younger players should improve. If not, it's going to be a LOOOOOOONNNNNGGGG season...

    Rethinking Barstool?

    When you weighed him, did he have 35 pounds of mutton in his pockets?

    Rethinking Barstool?

    I'm watching it with the sound off. It's like being at the zoo.

    Stacy Wakefield has passed away from cancer

    May God Bless the Wakefield Family during this time, although in times like these I am at a total loss as to what His Plan is.
