I wouldn't actually bet the under. This is more about my expectations. If expecting them to win 90 games makes you feel like a bigger Sox fan than someone who expects 80 wins, I'm happy for you.

Expectations so low you can trip on them! Even our front office is injured! Increasing shareholder value since 1981! We're not the Cubs!

I'll take the under. Always the under. You can't lose on the emotion. Then it's either being right or pleasantly surprised. Take the over and be wrong and disappointed or right and happy.

By the way, the clinical term for the surgery is an addadicktome

Excellent point jerksticks

How often to we trust the people we work with to not screw up? Makes you stop and think.

This thread is longer than . . . Yeah too easy

Is that a mini Vienna sausage in your pocket or are happy to see me?

Kraft wants Brady to sign a one day contract to retire as a Patriot. Stupid or cool?

If true, he really should be in a Sox uniform.

Yesterday my wife and I were in the dentist office when we both received news that we were closed on Wednesday as well. We both gave a little yell "yes!" It's causing a little jam up in my golf schedule. Normally this time of year I have two to three tournaments a week. Now I have four days out for a few of them. My sub will be busy earning her "cruise ship" money.

Fifty years ago I would have been standing, rocking with nervous energy in front of the TV, as Ray Raynor read off the list of school closings. Then rushing to get outside with my friends. Today it was glance at a text on my phone, roll over, and sleep a couple more hours. Either way, winter bliss.

We have a couple home improvement projects that we will finally finish. One with our "stick and bricks" and one in our "mini casa" travel trailer.

. . . your new hire is indicted a week after you sign him. I'm certain we can write a book on things that go wrong on the days, weeks, and months after signing. . . . his agent insisted on no back to back games for three months.

Because this team is a dumpster fire, just enjoy the game, embrace the career role players, and enjoy the experience. Nothing beats a summer's evening at the ball park.

Every bartender is a Tony impersonator.

Gotcha. It was too early for me to pick up subtlety. Lol

I'm trying to figure out how this could ever wind up at the Supreme Court. Are you suggesting he had a Constitutional right to abuse someone?

Isn't that what I said? You don't have to be charged, and that reflects real life? Oops, I just reread my post.

Free swingers who were hitting singles on balls out of the strike zone. But no more than two in an inning or else they would have actually scored some runs.

I'm not certain why being found guilty or even charged is the standard in some people's minds. Plenty of people everyday lose their jobs and aren't charged with a crime. Now with the nature of baseball contracts at some point a few lawyers may have to get together and decide on remuneration.

Did we forget the 4th forfeit in MLB history?

How much more?

The video of him telling his parents is a real tear jerker. Listening to his voice crack . . . Wow.

It's almost Valentine's Day. On your to do list: Reservations? Gifts?
