Great. AJ can go get some managerial experience in the minors or on a major league bench. f*** first time hires that leverage their relationship with the organization to weasel in here.

2 HRs and 1 Carried TA

Conspiracy time: Vaughn having more home runs in August than all of July shows that he's embracing his new leadership role.

Cause there must always be a franchise cornerstone at first base. If there isn't, this all goes to s%*#.

I'm sorry, what proof do you have other than the Phillies going on a scorcher and eventually to the World Series?

Ozzie is lazy and has coasted on his reputation since 2008.

Gonna fool around and finish .500

Undefeated in the brawl era.

Is Lane Ramsey vs. Aaron Judge the tallest matchup ever?

I guess this can go here since he's a Yankee and former Sox?

...seriously? The dude is employed by the team. It's not like he's Riordan making weird bodybuilder GIFs of Hahn.

Yeah with Dan Snyder finally gone out I'm struggling to think of one.

The way this season is going we're going to find out that Jake Burger was traded so the team could get in front of the story that he has to do a demonic blood ritual before every game to hit home runs and run fast.

Considering Lynn was brought in to be a vet presence, this fucker failed spectacularly. Middleton's cool. Dude's a middle reliever on a vet minimum and showed up mid-downfall. Lynn taught dudes that it's OK to scream at your coaches over cuts of steak? Note: This doesn't absolve anyone on the current roster of anything, but Lynn's s%*# eating grin at the end there is groan worthy.

While there's a decent chance that this is correct, I feel like we need another reporter to verify because @bmags is right that Riordan is indeed a moron.

I love that the first suggested hire (other than Ozzie) is a guy whose most notable coaching move to date is playing Tim Anderson out of position to help out a star studded lineup.

What about the 1986 season? Or was that just a disaster from a personnel standpoint?

Started it Landed a punch Talked s%*# after the game His agent posted a photo of him with boxing gloves on Progressive Field after the figh Like, that's basically the holy grail of "how to get your ass a hefty suspension."

Yes. Which makes me sad.

Saw this pointed out on Sox reddit: Did Ramirez think Roberto Perez was disrespecting the game in Rodon's (at that point) perfect game?

I'm not gonna lie, somehow nothing this group has done (yet) has topped the LaRoche saga. Edit: Group of players. How the front office survived that is beyond me.

FWIW: Obviously biased against Ramirez since he's on the other team in this fight, but also, a complete lack of remorse in starting a fucking fight. You know who didn't throw hands? Abreu when Karinchak nailed him in the head. He comforted him. For those that don't remember, that's when TLR thought Cleveland wanted to hit him with the bases loaded and old-man sprinted out of the dugout. Honestly, the boxing gloves photo (even if it's old - his agent still posted it) should probably be taken into account when they dole out the suspension and J-Ram should get one equal in length.

Also, Jose "Respect the Game" Ramirez before yesterday's game. Edit: Context - posted by his agent before the game. Not taken.

He's thrown three innings and made his debut on the 30th.
