    2004 WS Celebration

    The Pokey Reese two HR game against KC - one inside the park, one over the Monster. Only 2 HR game in his career. “Pokey would’ve had it.”

    2004 WS Celebration

    Celebrating the 20th 2004 WS without the presence of Curt Schilling is understandable, albeit unfortunate. But the gehrig38 legacy associated with the actual WS and this board is nothing short of amazing and something that should always be remembered and acknowledged. He came to Boston with the...

    Art Martone has died

    I found out about SOSH via the Projo “Off the Wall” bulletin board back in the 90’s. Art and I worked together on making Red Sox digital baseball cards for Projo for the 2004 and 2005 Opening Day paper. May God bless you and keep you Art.

    Papelbon Done for the Season

    Note to Papelbon, C.J. Nitkowski, and other keepers of the "Unwritten Rules of Baseball":  How about remembering the most important rule of baseball, written or unwritten?:    Don't Suck.    Enough about "playing the game the right way".  Jesus Christ, there are 300 million fucking people who...

    Who's Your choice for Sox Top of the Rotation Ace?

    And the Boston Red Sox would have a major league ready, cost-controlled dirt cheap potential All Star 2B/CF.

    Phillies will look to trade Cole Hamels, Red Sox interested

    But eventually, either Vazquez or Swihart will likely be "coughed up" to somebody. At that point, the one not designated the next Jason Varitek will be the next Scott Hattieburg. And the yield may be much less than Cole Hamels.

    The Offense

    Even more uncertainty with 800+ OPS everyday OFs like Craig, Victorino, and Nava a year or two removed. If they are healthy, who would be surprised if they rake? How many teams can put out a lineup w/3 800+ OPS everyday OFs? And we don't even plan to start ANY of them. Wow.

    Who's Your choice for Sox Top of the Rotation Ace?

    I believe that finding an Opening Day 2B of the caliber of Betts - a guy that can step into a 96 win team at MLB minimum salary - is very valuable to the Nats. The Nats may well win it all in 2015, but I believe their projected salary growth as currently constituted is unsustainable after next...

    Lester to Cubs: Rent Garments Thread

    Jon Lester is a total package, complete pitcher: command, makeup, on and on. Yet within that $155M resume are some pretty significant gaps. He sucked from September 2011 through June 2013: that's a long time and a lot of bad starts. Certainly, with the return of Farrell he re-established his...

    Failing Lester, who are your prime targets?

    Not sure exactly how to structure, but I would like to end up with Chris Sale and either Jordan Zimmerman or Rick Porcello. Instead of spending $160M on Lester and Cespedes, I use it to cover both Sale and a renegotiated deal with a #2 pitcher. Maybe White Sox take Mookie, Owens, what have...

    Lester: Stop Believing What You Read on Twitter.

    I believe John Henry now knows whether he will sign Lester. The team can proceed into the Winter meetings with that information and execute Plan A or Plan B, without having to disclose their strategy.

    Failing Lester, who are your prime targets?

    Having finished in last place, 25 games out of 1st place, evidence shows pretty clearly the FO is thinking GFIN: re-signing their 40 year old closer, signing a nose tackle to play 3B for $17M/year, signing a former all star for $19M-$22M/year who can no longer play his position and have to play...

    The premature re-signing Lester thread

    The Red Sox and Jon Lester appear to be negotiating in good faith, allowing market forces and competition to play out. As far as I can tell, the team is not yet at the point where they have told Lester they are at their limit. I will hold off on any criticism until we see what happens after...

    Schilling Diagnosed with Cancer

    May God bless you and keep you in these trying times. I lost the love of my life to pancreatic cancer, but never my faith. Kick the living shit out of this monster like a bear kicking a shark...wait, was it a shark or a bear? Good times in P&G....
