    A Dream of 2025, What is Going Right and Looks like the Sox can Build On

    This excludes players like Pivetta, O'Neill, Martin, and Jansen. The big thing that is fairly obvious is the rotation. Kutter has continued to improve and has looked like a legitimate top of the rotation pitcher with three top line pitches with FB, Sweeper/Slider, and Cutter with a solid...

    Red Sox Sponsors

    I am curious who is sponsoring the Red Sox and how big/long the contracts are: I know they just switched to SeatGeek as their official ticketing sponsor. MassMutual is the jersey sponsor for the next ten years since last year.

    2024-2025 Celtics Roster Discussion

    With April 1st (Jrue Holiday extension eligible) coming up and some interesting conversation on Jaden Springer's future, maybe we can talk about next year roster. I know decisions will be made based on the results this year. Signed: Tatum - Extension Eligible (Super Max) Brown Porzingis White...

    Former SoSH Greats in the media (Simmons and SeanBerry Megathread)

    Not much on Simmons who is currently trying to figure out how to make the 50+ point drumming Celtics gave the GSW about the Lakers. However former SoSH Great SeanBerry is currently looked in a basement for Barstool for 100 hours. I am not sure what the reason is.

    All NBA Teams so far

    Assuming Embiid, Butler, and Haliburton are going to miss 65 (Kristoff will miss as well) First Team Jokic Giannis Tatum SGA Luka Second Team Anthony Davis Brunson Kawhi (can't believe he played enough games) Durant Mitchell Third Team Harden Gobert Curry Chet Derozan

    Potential Bright Spots in Fenway Tire Fire

    Long term bright spots - Triston Casas and Kutter Crawford Triston Casas - Over the season especially in the second half, Triston became a top end hitter. Looking forward Triston looks like he can become a legitimate elite bat. He walks at a tremendous rate and has great contract skills...

    How much does winning and losing affect your fandom?

    I am legitimately curious where everyone on the board is now a days. My fandom has definitely changed over the last 20 years.

    The Fallacy of the Anthony/Mayer/Teel "Window"

    It keeps coming on the main board but there is no Mayer/Teel/Anthony "Window". I linked a fantastic article someone else put in another thread by Dan Secatore at Over The Monster. People need to realize this is not even the strongest the Red Sox farm system has been over the last 10 years...

    Celtics Rotation and Trade Needs Conversation

    Currently the Celtics have the best starting 5 in the NBA. Hauser and Al have solidified themselves into the rotation. Peyton has been struggling a bit with his shot but has not been terrible for the eighth man on the bench though the Celtics could definitely use an upgrade on first guard...

    Top NBA GMs in 2023

    If I was going to rank the top ten right now: 1) Booth Nuggets - inherited a good team and got them a title. Still top team in West 2) Stevens Celtics - inherited a good team and got them to the Finals. Top Team in the East 3) Elisburg Heat - Worked with Riley on a perennial contender that...

    Why is the NFL playing bad football now?

    Got to say, the NFL games I have been watching this season (outside the Pats who are just a bad team with a terrible QB) have been terrible. Like last night's MNF game was a really poorly played football game. It is so late in the season and the only team that looks like they have their shit...

    American Horror Story - 2023 Red Sox Lineup

    I am trying to get my head around this. Unless the Red Sox think LHH are the new market inefficiency, this lineup is terrible. I am not sure how they expect to score 700 runs. This is the worst line up since 2014. Using early 2023 ZIPs outside of Yoshida Masatoka Yoshida - L .300/.355/.455...

    How interested are you in the Red Sox at this point?

    I got into this discussion the other day with a non Red Sox fan I have known for a while. We were talking about how ridiculous the Bruins and Celtics are right now. He asked if I still followed the Red Sox and I told him I have not as much as I did as a kid. I watched maybe 10-20 games last...

    All 2000s Red Sox Team

    Studying for the CCNA Cloud

    Anyone know any good studying material or test dumps (usually against dumps but having to study dead technologies like Invicta is a waste of time)?

    Life w/o ERod - 6th SP and SP depth

    ERod has a swelling issue. Who replaces him? Right now I would go with Elias. I think he is a little better than Owens right now with a little bit more MLB experience. I think Owens gains more being in AAA plus he may still be a trading chip (more risk than reward bringing him up for a...

    Don't Look Now But The Red Sox Offense Has Woken Up

    .300/.358/.498 over the last 14 days .289/.340/.453 in all of June.   Huge part of this is Mookie, Swihart, and Xander stepping up in June.   Ortiz and Ramirez have also rebounded and Brock Holt has been in beast mode since become a fixture in the line up.   Outside the living corpses of Aza and...
