And the Sox don't mind guys who come pre-injured.

There shouldn't be a Bears fan alive who wants to see the Bears win this game.

Like I said in that thread, unless a guy is bascially Bobby Jenks as a sure fire lockdown closer, that just doesn't make sense.

The interstates are spotty to bad. There were shutdowns a few times last night. It has quit snowing, but it is blowing pretty badly. Take your time.

There is a still a nice assortment of back end OFs for the Sox to pick from. We all knew it wasn't going to be a big spending winter anyway, so it isn't like the Sox being here is a big surprise.

I mean there is enough for Sox fans to be upset about, we don't need to invent things to get mad about.

But think of poor Steve Cohen and the other $314 million he still has to pay for.

That's not a fluff piece, that is fanfic.

They also have a lot of interesting pitching in their top 10 to 15.

I am sure this is trash like the rest of them, but you are damned right that the Sox should be looking for the moon from the Mets. Asking for top guys in blocked positions is actually a pretty smart strategy to try to get something done too.

You are the one who made the initial connection between the two things.

I know many don't, but I tune in for Jason and Walton. It is spectacular once or twice a year.

Man I loved Hawk, but once his sight went, it was time. He just became a caricature of himself.

I would LOVE the Sox to pair Jason with pretty much anyone else but Steve Stone. Having listened to Jason doing tons of other baseball, basketball, and football games I cannot think of a single instance where I thought they were worse than the Jason/Steve combo. They don't even have the charming oddity combo like a Ed and DJ used to. You need a guy who is wanting to enjoy himself during the broadcast and Steve just isn't that guy. I think the best tribute I can pay to Jason is that he is able to sound good with pretty much anyone he sits down with, which I can tell you from experience is NOT easy. I won't put him on my Mt Rushmore of all time favorites, but he is a very good one.

The MLB investigations aren't opinion, they are fact. Trevor Bauers suspension, and Daryl Boston's lack there of aren't opinion, they are fact. My opinion is I want neither around my team or anyone important to me.

You'd have to be talking about a pretty sure fire reliever to consider it.

Some times I wonder if people really understand how bad the typical MLB announcers are around this sport.

I really think they will have to do so, otherwise the pressure on the rest of the organization's personel and players getting hounded with questions around Bauer will be too much. Think of all of the other players getting the TLR questions when TLR disappeared, except times a 100. If you sign Bauer, you will have to get your ass kicked publicly and must have him and the organization be able to publicly justify this signing, which is exactly why I think no one will do it.
