    16 Days in January—Determining Trade Deadline Activity

    Gee, I thought they were/are tanking?? 65 year (yes I met Sam Jones several times, RIP) fan here and the only other time I was this embarrassed was the Rowe/Wicks era They aren't going anywhere. They can't shoot, they have NO bench and they just don't seem to play well together. They have to...

    Your top "forgot he was a Red Sox"

    Has anyone mentioned the two sport player, Gene Conley? I vaguely remember he was a character. Has anyone got a good story?

    Your top "forgot he was a Red Sox"

    I had good tix bought way in advance. I wanted to take the trolley from Brookline but each car that came by was full and didn't stop. Finally walked to the park. Yes, it was hyped.

    Celtics Plan, Summer 2021

    I think I know the answer to this because it's never been discussed but......does the NBA have to option to trade a player and pay part of his salary like MLB a la David Price?

    Daniel Theis to Chicago for Mo Wagner

    Yes, yes and yes. Great post. I was at that game. I moved to SoCal after 30 yrs in Boston. Probably one of a couple dozen Cs fans there and I really felt I was in danger. Those were the days.

    Rosenthal: Sale extension 5 years, $145 million

    Read my original post! You are so far off track. Geez I can't talk to people who are so far away from the subject. Also, I said $80M going forward, that means Sale, Price and Evoldi. Porcello is as far wrong as saying Derek Lowe to my original. post. All you want to do stir things up with out...

    Rosenthal: Sale extension 5 years, $145 million

    The "unlucky pitcher" was a question for discussion. What could possibly be wrong with that? Read my original post. It was harmless until everyone wanted to play with semantics and nitpick.

    Rosenthal: Sale extension 5 years, $145 million

    Nobody asked for proof. Nobody. All I got is names of players that had nothing to do with what I said. I get a little put off when people come up with stuff totally off base. Remember, I was floating the idea of whether Sale was an unlucky pitcher, it only went off the tracks when posters...

    Rosenthal: Sale extension 5 years, $145 million

    I believe this is the thread which was my original post on whether Sale is "unlucky" and was the extension good or bad? I didn't stray, everyone else did so they could jump in with stupid answers like Papelbon, Lyle and Matsuzaka. My criteria is not stupid. The Sox have a poor record of...

    Rosenthal: Sale extension 5 years, $145 million

    In what universe is Matsuzaka a player that came from our farm system. How did Sparky Lyle ever help the Sox? Papelbon considered a starter? The replies are NOT all true.

    Rosenthal: Sale extension 5 years, $145 million

    It was a question for discussion. I was throwing it out there for discussion because I am worried about the fact he is part of the $80M threesome. I didn't look for "blowback" like people saying Sparky Lyle and Matsuzaka were players the Sox developed and went on to help the Sox.

    Rosenthal: Sale extension 5 years, $145 million

    I guess I forgot about our farm system in Japan that produced Matsuzaka. RE: edit, a couple of posts back I said our system produces position players galore. Yes, our development system is doing something right. BTW, before everyone played semantics and nitpicked to derail the thread, my...

    Rosenthal: Sale extension 5 years, $145 million

    Let's just call it like it is, we can't develop starting pitching. I'm not gripping, not whining, it is what it is. It's just a curse or whatever. Position players galore, starting pitching, mea. Can you imagine what Tampa would do with the Sox resources?? But maybe that excess would make you...

    Rosenthal: Sale extension 5 years, $145 million

    Please read the post before writing. I said starting pitching. I said pitched well for the Red Sox. Wood who? Tudor pitched well for another team/\. Ojeda, really?? Pap is not a starter. Stanley was a lousy starter but a good reliever. Lyle was a reliever and played for the Yankees but we did...

    OK, 6, now I feel a lot better about our ability to produce starting pitchers

    Rosenthal: Sale extension 5 years, $145 million

    I've played sports for 60 years and there is no question there are athletes that just seem to have a knack of winning and others seem to have a knack for not winning. In basketball, the loose ball always seemed to end up in the same hands. In tennis, some always get the let cords, others never...

    Rosenthal: Sale extension 5 years, $145 million

    Is Chris Sale David Price 2.0? 30M a year for a 20M guy that struggles to win big games. Sale is great but since he has been here either they don't score for him or the BP blows it for him. Some guys just win, some guys just can't win no matter how good they are. It's sports.

    I know, apples-oranges BUT, Farrell pinch running Wright comes to mind as equally stupid

    They gave Sandoval 5 years without weighing him.

    2018-19 Offseason Thread

    Radatz was a man pitching to boys. When he was on, batters looked like John Kruk did when he batted against Randy Johnson in the all star game.
