My high school economics teacher "tried" to teach us about the stock market, sort of. That's it though. No stuff besides rote memorization.

With starters only going five max, lot of bullpen usage coming.

I believe the pipeline Biden closed on his first week of office should be flowing again. I don't understand why the USA has to be concerned about climate change every minute of every day when other BIG countries don't give a flip. Lets produce some oil so we don't have to pay 70 dollars for a fill-up. So sad/disgusting for me to fork over so much cash for fuel in my Camry (cut the outrage that I drive a foreign car even tho it's made in Kentucky). I have a problem with electric cars. a.) allegedly they are EXPENSIVE to purchase. b.) Driving 250 miles to 500 miles is exhausting enuf for those of us who don't like to drive. You can't tell me there will EVER be enuf recharging stations in our lifetimes to avoid 1-2 hour waits to recharge. What about the folks who commute into cities and have 40 minute drives each way. The first time you need a recharge will be too many when u are trying to get to or from work. Call me a climate change hater if u must but I don't see the USA making much of a difference when other countries don't give a flip bout climate change (Putin? Cmon; China? One big LOL). Why us? Why now? What we do is nullified by their actions. I think it's important to keep prices down. Peace out. GO SOX. And please have mercy on my wallet.

You got to use a different store brand name in these type posts bout Greg. I have a thing against Applebee's. I never go there and don't like 'em. Also don't like Cracker Barrell and Waffle House. Friends got sick in them. Not a big Olive Garden fan either and wouldn't be caught in a Red Lobster. Don't like those kind of chains tho I will go in an Old Chicago.

I pray the shortages don't empty the shelves. I'm not that resourceful in terms of standing in long lines for food and/or surviving after being spoiled so many years.

Watch a Three Stooges episode with Curley in it and you should laugh.

Our education in high school and college consisted of memorizing everything imaginable so you could pass or ace tests and forget everything a few week after the memorization. There was little "learning," just figure out rote memorization was the best way to an A. ... I'm not talking about math (algebra, geometry, physics, etc.) classes however. Those for us dummies was somehow getting a passing grade despite having no mathematical ability and just taking the bare minimum math/science classes as required by a liberal arts type major. ... We never had teachers address stuff that would have been nice to know like how to invest, how to buy a house, how to fix a car, how to cook, some of the things u've mentioned.

This war continues to sadden me. I am thinking Putin will eventually grow impatient and do something incomprehensible that could lead to the end of life as we know it. Let there be peace on earth ... somehow.

Over 4 bucks here. Sad, unacceptable, ridiculous, disgusting. I heard Biden on TV saying we should expect food shortages. What the hell is going on? Fire everybody. I don't care who takes over but get rid of these high prices and shortages!

Maybe next offseason the Sox do a thorough evaluation of the injuries and decide whether it's a.) just bad luck. b.) unavoidable. c.) avoidable. d.) the fault of our training staff and team doctors or e) just bad luck part two. I think Sox should at least examine WTF regarding injuries. Do a thorough analysis in the day of analytics baby!

Maybe ptatc can get me to stop being a broken record as he is a medical guru IMO. But all these Sox injuries grow very tiresome as a fan. Also Timmy's suspension is unfortunate. I think we win if he's in there on Opening Day. A few more hits mighta mattered. Ah, I'm venting. Sorry. 0-1.

Oh my, I left the game after the half inning of Vaughn's blast figuring we were 1-0. My gosh, the Sox lost? Yikes.

Injuries, injuries, injuries ... modern baseball. Huge contracts should be a thing of the past. Anybody can and will go down at any time. Sorry for the abject negativity, but I'm frustrated.

I love Vaughn. He looks good at the plate. Sox up, 4-3.

Tony is a great manager IMO. The reason Sox are flailing still is INJURIES. Something's wrong there. Way too many. Also our pitching staff still blows, though most in baseball do also. Nuttin wrong with Tony. (I do think Sox have a WS roster, but it's far from special).

I like Collins. Hope he makes it in the bigs.

Don't have time to read it all. So tell me, will I like Cueto? Is he good? Will he replace Dallas? How is Keuchel doing anyway in ST. Been too busy to follow.

Poor Yermin. Do the Cubs have a DH? Trade him there for some pitching.

I didn't know Yermin was still with the Sox. There's absolutely no chance he can make the big league team right?

If Eloy gets hurt again in LF that would be a fireable offense IMO. Unless Eloy has really worked on his defense, which is possible, it's unacceptable for a GM to trot him out there daily where he can get hurt. Just my thoughts.

I wonder if Tony is embracing the pitch by committee status of baseball today. Just let all guys go three innings max. I sense the Sox staff has some bodies but some very questionable starters. Certainly not a deep staff. Has Keuchel retired? I can't see them trotting him out there much considering he didn't make the postseason roster. Hate to be negative but I'm thinking our staff sorta stinks unless the Sox just do the three inning max thing. I know Sox have added a few bodies to add to the mix, but need some studs IMO.

I worship Jose obviously in a non religious way. But ... this may prove he could be 39, 40 rather than his listed age. Tru or not?? I do love Jose A as my haters on this board realize.

Ken Berry wore a turtleneck under his jersey; all defense not much bat. ... Ward had a great batting stance kids imitated. Lefty hitter; blew into his hands. Had some power for a little guy in a day and age pitching dominated. Pete Ward was a southside fave at 3B

Vaughn turns 24 in April. Cmon. The guy deserves to be in the big leagues. Sheets turns 26 in April. Is this solely an age thing? Sox have some good players. Time to assess which ones will be stars and make a trade or two involving those the Sox don't project as high.
