    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...

    With the history of baseball names, I'm sure you could make an All-Phallus team.

    Your top "forgot he was a Red Sox"

    I remember us frantically looking at his brother's social media account of him sitting at a table about to sign with the Sox.

    Luke Prokop Comes Out

    No, I said this one was fine. Just that in general I'm usually wary of this kind of thing because it's like "Well, what kind of culture did you allow where your organization is lagging a decade behind all other industries in the country in people feeling safe to come out?" despite them saying...

    Luke Prokop Comes Out

    I always think heteronormative institutions making statements like that is a little... I dunno, performative and often lacking substance? But that's as good a statement as you can make. Good on the NHL.

    Red Sox acquire Adam Ottavino and RHP prospect Frank German from Yankees for PTBNL

    The B-word is common enough lexicon that you don't recoil at hearing it mostly but it can get really old. Just not need to use it, I think. To be honest, the ending to Ace Ventura can give me a panic attack.

    Bullpen '21

    "A walk right here's just as good as a homerun" - Tim McCarver, ALCS Game 6, 2004 Hideki Matsui up with the bases empty, Yankees trailing by 2 in the 9th. He meant they needed two base runners to tie but like, double plays exist

    I believe the intent is to end the gentleman's agreement.
