This is fun!!!!

I believe I am in the minority in thinking that Dave Roberts is not a very good manager. I am hoping that his sometimes inexplicable in game decisions will cost the Dodgers the series....but I doubt it.

When you suck at player evaluation that is inevitable

Sox fan 1st....Nationality 2nd One big Sox Fan Family

I just saw a drove past a guy walking with his wife around the neighborhood and he was sporting a pretty newish looking Brewers sweatshirt. I guess he might be an actual Milwaukee fan but my guess is he is just a good, old fashioned troll.

Glad to see the South Side Irish are being represented in Port Charlotte

I deliberately avoided the news yesterday. but I was not upset when my better half said to me this morning "so the Cubs season is over, huh?" "Is it? Oh that is too bad." She replied "you can be a mean little man sometimes."

......and your question is answered 2 days later in the 1st inning.

I am sure that Wilson will be a great trade chip at next season's trade deadline....3rd time is the charm.

It is a little known fact that the NL uses aluminum bats...they look and sound like wood but don't let them fool you.

Sure must have been fun being a fan of the Blue Jays this weekend, huh?

I want this to happen for the good of the Soxtalk community....it would be an epic thread.

I concur, but I really dislike Aroldis Chapman and Red Sox fans in general so it is close call for me...so Go Mariners!!!

I have a feeling that if the Cubbies win today, they will beat the Brewers in the next series. I doubt they could get past the Phillies or Dodgers though.

Best Christmas episode ever!!!

I am going to look on the bright side....I was worried the Sox were gonna trade Schultz and Smith after they showed MLB what they can do....but now it looks like they will be bad enough that the Sox will keep them. Progress, not perfection.

Looking for a Josh Beckett-like run?

I see that pitching is leading the way early in the playoffs

This is getting worser and worser

He absolutely dominated in that playoff game in Oakland......damn that feels like 15 years ago.

Physician Heal Thyself....

I also missed that one. I figured Booser was just an awful free agent who had been bouncing around the Mexican league. We gave up a young arm for him?? That 's pretty bad.

I understand that veterans can be helpful to younger players....apparently David Wells was a good mentor for Mark Buehrle for example. They still lost 102 games so I think veteran presence in this scenario is way overrated.

From an entertainment standpoint, I understand your argument. Tauchman is an easy guy to root for.

I am going to disagree with you there a bit....on a 102 loss team, veterans who you do not or cannot flip at the deadline are not really that helpful. I really do not buy that veteran presence bullshit for the most part. Play the yungins.
