  1. Marshall has solid stuff and I want to see him get back to what he was last year. Hoping it isn't a serious injury and some time on the DL and maybe a rehab assignment is just what the dr ordered.
  2. I hope his injury isn’t bad.
  3. I don't know why I had forgotten this - but you are right - it was a total stunner. I remember exactly where I was for that and oddly enough I also remember where I was when I heard Magic was retiring (because growing up a Bulls fan in socal - I had many debates with Laker fans at the time re: who was better (and at that point still in MJ's career - MJ wasn't the clear cut winner).
  4. Good call on tonya Harding. That was huge. I also might be biased - but that first dream team was something else (might be because I was a kid at that time - but man was that sweet). Not too 3 - but still that first time seeing all those superstars on one team destroying the rest of the world…yeah that was something else.
  5. I would have Jenner down on my list - just not a big deal to me - but I would put Jordan retiring in his prime to go play baseball very high on my list. Magic is very much #1 for me. The Oakland A's / San Francisco world series with the earthquake is also up there.
  6. I don't think Escobar was as good of a prospect as Burger was - so not sure that It is comparable, however, if you said in hindsight would I make that trade again - ABSOLUTELY NOT. In general - I think the Sox are a team that probably shouldn't buy a lot of rentals given how they manage their organization. They are a team that actually needs to sell its existing players a bit early to keep cupboards full vs. not because if they push all-in, they are really robbing from the future more extensively than other orgs (especially on rentals).
  7. I tend to think like you - if he is healthy - he's going to have a good MLB career. I don't like trading a guy like that for a rental the caliber of Escobar.
  8. Got to imagine he feels pretty good now that fans are back and vaccines are working. I’ve long said - Sox kept some ammo in reserve due to COVID and they are going to be positioned to push more chips in from a financial perspective (whether at deadline or in offseason).
  9. Honestly - I wouldn’t put it past kw to at least make a call down that path. Don’t think Angels bite - but it’s kw.
  10. Who knew it would be Jake not Yermin who ends up being the story of Chicago by the time we get to the summer. I am a big believer in Burgers ability to hit and his mental fortitude to get to this point is super cool. I also think Yermin should be able to hit better than he is - so can't figure out how he got himself so mentally messed up.
  11. I thought it was absolutely stellar.
  12. The benefit of picking way later because team is good!
  13. Alright - back on track. Lets enjoy the offday and start streaking!
  14. I don't want to jinx it - but Frazier has to have one of the ugliest swing set-ups I've ever seen from a guy hitting >.320.
  15. Cause you see the long-term - including fact that if you take away that one bad start its even better. His stuff is good and he's developed a changeup that looks extremely promising.
  16. Thsi - Cease had a bad error - but outside of that has looked pretty darn good. So a bunch of sky of falling crybabies who are even worse because they are on a 5 game losing streak.
  17. You nailed it - the two of them together sound like 2 people just playing with house money and having a blast. Guys that really appreciate how lucky and blessed they are to do what they do and they genuinely seem to just have dynamic chemistry.
  18. Yeah - the overall energy in the booth is awesome. I have a feeling he'll be the guy that replaces stone whenever Stone is done.
  19. I overreacted and thought it was going to be 4-0, not quite barreled.
  20. I didn't realize how good they were - he is like the Stone Pony of hitting.
  21. Frank is awesome - never thought I would say that but I have to make a 2nd post. Hearing him deliver real insights and views is refreshing. And than Tim did exactly what Frank was saying after that 1st pitch where he pulled open.
