The Ginger Kid

not one single Yaz story this series. Or even a Tony C.

it was a suicide squeeze

I believe the stats, but I also believe that stranded leadoff doubles are one of the most frustrating things in baseball...that and a reliever who comes in and walks the first batter he faces.

...divide it all by number of HOF votes C.B. Bucknor can expect. Finally, add the number of Star Wars action figures in original packaging on the shelf of Greg775's bedroom.

Sox math... Take the number of blown balls and strikes by Mike Winters... Subtract Joe West's weight... Add Angel Hernandez's IQ...

I'd rather there be zero injuries; that said, if there is to be an outbreak, I'd rather it come before most of these guys are in the majors and expected to be contributing to championships.

Reminds me of another Carlos. Oh well. Next...

The good news is that the Sox have a ton of minor league talent ready to step in whenever someone goes down. Just like the yankees. And it's all homegrown, drafted and developed by some of the sharpest minds in the game today.

Lou Brown: If we win one tomorrow that's called a winning streak. It has happened before.

all i know is that this is a disaster for this rebuild

I don't know if this will make you feel any better but I honestly believe the Sox dodged a bullet not signing Manny. He's a very talented young guy but adding one great player to a team is not a recipe for success. If it were the Angels would be in the playoffs every year because they have the greatest player on the planet and still can't figure out how to win with the guy. Plus, Manny's kind of a douche. And no kid should have to root for a douche. He was going to pose instant problems with his attitude and saddle the Sox with an albatross of a contract. I'm more bummed about Basabe's injury than I am Manny joining the Padres.

So many fans have to listen to bland, generic play-by-play guys. We were lucky to have him for so long.

someone hold me
