    Positional Switches - good or bad?

    I never understood your username, I thought it was some joke I didn't get, because I had no idea he actually spent any time there. Wow

    Red Sox hook Crochet for Kyle Teel, Braden Montgomery, Chase Meidroth and Wikelman Gonzalez

    I'm glad to know the number. I can get started on crocheting a #35 "jersey" to wear in April! I was hopeful about Teel being an important major leaguer for the Sox, but it sure is exciting to have a legitimate ace to root for now.

    Boston’s taxing pursuit of Juan Soto is over. (Mets)

    I feel oddly Zen about this. If he picks the Red Sox that is incredible for all the reasons we've spent months rehashing. If he picks the Yankees then we already know he alone doesn't suddenly guarantee them winning a title, so it's not as devastating as some previous signings had felt at the...

    Kristian Beliefs: The Hero with a Thousand Faces

    I suspect that, even if they have an ideal plan for his position, his versatility will be so appealing that he'll end up as a kind of everyday super sub. I don't think many would be disappointed with a Ben Zobristesque role for him.

    Mark Bellhorn: Hero or zero?

    I had that shirt. I'm pretty sure they were selling it outside Fenway even before the 04 playoffs. Bellhorn was also the only member of the 04 Sox who was born in Boston. There's a reason we names the color Salmon after their pink insides and not their shiny scales.

    Duran homophobic slur fallout thread; suspended 2 games

    EVEN IF it was a word he meant as a generic insult, It's not about the word itself specifically hurting in isolation. I mean, it does, but that's not really what the whole thing is about. It's about how it sets an precedent of it being okay to treat this group of people as lesser. When I hear...

    Duran homophobic slur fallout thread; suspended 2 games

    I'm not surprised by Duran. This sort of thing never doesn't sting, but it there's a level of desensitization I have because I'm so used to it in certain social circles. There's no way he hasn't said it before, if he said it so easily. That's the more upsetting thing. Does anyone remember the...

    The latest injuries: a permanent wave?

    He was born in a Springfield hospital but grew up in Holyoke until he moved to Arizona. He's my nephew's second cousin, which means nothing but is kind of cool.

    When Is It Okay To Worry About Triston Casas: An Attempt at the Reverse Jinx

    I find it really funny that he has a tweet from when he was 16 stilled pinned, and that it is such a "16-year-old's tweet" tweet.

    2024 Red Sox HOF Class: Dustin Pedroia, Jonathan Papelbon, Trot Nixon

    If one of the metrics for Red Sox Hall of Fame entry were "number of T-shirts spotted on Jersey Street with this players name on it" I would be okay with it. It's just a good vibes thing, and I think there is nothing wrong with that. Some things should just be about fun. Thinking about Trot...

    2024 Red Sox HOF Class: Dustin Pedroia, Jonathan Papelbon, Trot Nixon

    I think team-level Hall of Fames should be fine with commemorating "players that succeeded and were just really, really popular". Fame is, after all, how big a part of the zeitgeist someone is. If you spent any time around a teenage girl in Massachusetts circa-2001, you'd know how big a part of...

    Goodbye Gruden and ongoing Snyder investigation discussion

    Racism is a system, not a personal opinion, and I wish we (like our society, not we on this board) could move past debating whether or not Gruden is actively intending to make racial statements and deal with the fact that it doesn't matter, it's still racist even if he doesn't know why. So tired...
