Great game last night. When the Royals didn't score with bases loaded/no out, I thought they were done. Royals have the 2005 Sox thing going. They're 5-0 in the postseason so far, and they just find a way to get it done. Incredible how close they were to being eliminated in the Wildcard Game. Also, on time of game...3:15 to play 6 innings last night. I mean, come on...MLB doesn't care.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Oct 9, 2014 -> 09:34 PM) When does free agency begin and when are the winter meetings this year? Free agency-generally filing was the first 10 days after the World Series, and then have it. That may have changed, and it's quicker. Winter Meetings are in San Diego - Dec 8-11

Montas starting tonight

Game 1 looking wet in Baltimore. Would be interesting if they had to play 5 days in row.

So how's that Beckham PTNBL coming along? I need to know which low-level lefty they're getting.

Rained out today.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Oct 8, 2014 -> 10:30 AM) Anybody calling for Ventura to be fired is barking up the wrong tree. Next year is going to matter a hell of a lot more. Hopefully the roster will show up to Glendale with a lot higher expectations. If the team under performs next year, then it may be time to change things. But let's face it- Ventura is in the Reinsdorf Circle of Trust, and he generally doesn't pay for two managers.

If the Royals and Cardinals play each other, they both had the least amount of HRs in their leagues, and combined for 200 homers. 2014.

Any chance the Sox will try to get ahead of the arbitration opt-out this winter and try to re-negotiate a longer deal?

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 8, 2014 -> 08:43 AM) The Flash premiere was excellent. Damnit, I don't need more shows to watch! That's why I'm dumping Mulaney already. If it turns out to get better, I'll go back and catch up.

At this point, I think I'm rooting for the Royals to beat the Cardinals in the World Series. There was too much baseball randomness for the Giants to win their two championships. I'd rather not see the even-year thing continue. But no matter what, I want the AL team to win it all.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 6, 2014 -> 11:35 AM) The promos for it looked pretty awful. Very true. I was hoping for the best, but I'm done with it already.

Oh yeah....

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Oct 6, 2014 -> 10:30 AM) I hope this series goes 7 I'm rooting for the Royals, but yeah, 6 or 7 games would be great.

Mulaney was fairly terrible. Disappointing.

Orioles-Royals. Never been happier to see two sweeps in the DS... if KC wins.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 4, 2014 -> 09:10 PM) Wtf channel is Cardinals Dodgers? I am not liking this widespread channel distribution of these games. FoxSports 1 and 2, tbs, espn. Damnit all MLB Network has this game and another one. http://m.mlb.com/postseason-schedule

Williams pulling Zimmerman was just CYA managing. Terrible.

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Oct 4, 2014 -> 10:50 AM) Brace yourself for a KC - STL World Series Don Denkinger should throw out the first pitch. I'm enjoying the Royals play. Speed kills, and their bullpen is what you need.

Going down with the ship on those sac bunts, huh?

Serious gas from Finnegan. Maybe he shoulda been in there in the 6th.

QUOTE (LDF @ Sep 30, 2014 -> 10:26 PM) I was never a fan of shields. so in all honesty I really can't gage on not wanting him on the sox. is it age? salary? yrs? To me, he's a right handed Buehrle. Lots of innings, which is great. He makes his starts. But going into his age 33 season, who knows how long that can last. I don't see a fit with the Sox if he's looking to break the bank.

I wouldn't give him 4 years at his age. I'd rather have Bassitt hold a spot until Rodon is ready. Sox need to think bullpen a lot more than starting pitching.
