South Side Fireworks Man

I had season tickets for the Blitz in '83. George Allen was their coach and owner. When they announced that they were swapping franchises with Arizona, I got pissed and canceled my season tickets and basically stopped caring about the USFL.

Didn't the Chicago Blitz and the Arizona Wranglers do that in 1984?

I was with Harry & Jimmy on that one.

Roland Hemond was a classy guy and a great GM. May he rest in peace and may God comfort his family with peace that surpasses all understanding.

The Sox would have to get there first.

I'll bet you're right.

I hope Frank is hired as hitting coach.

They need to go big at 2B, RF, a couple of Starting Pitchers, a Catcher, and rebuild the bullpen. They won't. Edit: And they need a Manager.

After watching the way the Sox played throughout the regular season, I didn't expect the Sox to get past the first round of the playoffs. This is who the 2021 Sox are.

Dusty rubbing Tony's nose in it now.

Sure, but the Sox won't.

Sounds about right.

My biggest fear when he sustained that injury was that it might rob him of his elite speed. He was really something to watch run. Hopefully the offseason will allow him to regain 100% of his former speed.

They didn't run hard for most of the second half of the regular season. Can't expect them to suddenly be legging out close plays now.

It's now or never.
