They were playing Detroit so for Palka this is like playing in AAA.

The Sox investing in an experienced manager that has winning seasons is about as realistic as the Muchado signing. It will never happen under this ownership.

Basically a bust then. It's not like this organization is ever short of 1B/DH.

It's a stupid idea denying athletes to compete. It's like NFL teams having players sit out week 16 and then they get hurt in the playoffs. It's that mythical trying to plan around injury.

One organization figured that out.

History has a lot to say about that. It's one part they don't take very serious. Did they bother to interview when they asked Ventura to do it?

That's how most series are won by career years. Dynasties just don't exist in baseball except for division titles and playoff births.

My biggest fear with Castillo having good days at DH that they'll keep him.

Not to me. The ability to stay on the field is important.

So how did Collins do behind the plate?

There's still some Milb games going on.

The Sox offered him more money than the Cubs. I think players out of Japan are a high risk.

LOL! You must be thinking of another team.

I do believe they still have some talent in their farm system.

That's the Sox MO. It's happened before when they are in the post season hunt. Charlotte choked on playing the last place team in their division . It's an organization thing.

Saw the video. Freak accident.

I'll have the Fall League happenin down the street.

There's a photo somewhere of the mitt Ed Herman used to catch Wilbur Wood. It's was quite the size.

Maybe it's bad mechanics. It seems like every hard throwing pitcher is treated like glass these days. Throwing hard and learning how to pitch seem distant. Mark B. never had a fastball that could blow by hitters but he knew how to get people out. It's nice to see a 98mph fastball on a radar gun but if there is nothing on it there are plenty of ML hitters who make it leave just as quick. You can get away with it on the minors but in the big leagues you are facing guys who make enough money to have their bats custom made.

I have this fear our eyes are less tolerant than the organization's. Some of those guys will be back in AAA only to haunt us again.

The NL WC standings are starting to look like a traffic jam.

The only thing missing is those sox unis Sale refused to wear.

Who would ever have a discussion on the mound with Yolmer up.

So why did they take Cease out? He hurt?
