  1. Any chance Brantley would take a 1 year deal?
  2. Did anyone ask David Ross of his opinion of Jose Abreu's performance at Wrigley this past season?
  3. It is a long forgotten fact that the "elite spin rate" was a sexual move popularized in the porn industry by John Holmes in the 1970's.
  4. I look forward to missing every single one of Boog's broadcasts.
  5. TA Moncada Eloy Abreu Bummer
  6. I won't be greedy....I'm fine with 3 World Series championships this decade. Maybe 4. Happy New Year Sox Fans!!!
  7. Dawn Wells who played Maryann on Gilligan's Island has died at the age of 82. RIP Dawn!! I believe Tina Louise, who played Ginger, is the only cast member still alive. Tina is 86.
  8. He's a very good pitcher who I would love to have on the Sox, especially on a short contract. Playoff, Pennant and World Series odds go way up in our favor with Bauer in the rotation. None of the arguments that he is a bad dude will sway my opinion. I have always thought he was the obvious play for the Sox this offseason to put a strangle hold on the AL Central.
  9. That was one of those plays that I feel honored to have watched "live" and not as a highlight...I was speechless when I saw it...like Wise's catch in the perfect game....and Robert's unbelievable grab in the 9th inning this past season...Mercy!! Indeed!!!
  10. Ah yes, for the man of steal...I see what you did there!!
  11. If Bauer does indeed sign a 1 or 2 year deal and the Sox do not even try to pursue him, I will be pissed....and then quickly move on so I can get pissed about who they didn't sign for the bullpen, etc.
  12. They brought back Eaton and hired La Russa....I'm not sure they are concerned about team chemistry all that much.
  13. Even more than the homers, I seem to remember Lillibridge going on an unbelievable stretch of outstanding catches in the outfield in the later innings to save a couple of games.
  14. Just looked it up and can't believe Brent has been out of the league for 7 years!! I feel old

    Crap!! I thought I was named a starter due to my witty and insightful posts...now I find out it is based solely on my # of posts?!?! Next they'll tell me I really don't have a hall of fame reputation
  20. & put him in LF so Eloy can DH
  21. And thank you for sharing Small Town Titans on your list....that Grinch version Rocks!!!
  22. Since you like Vince Guaraldi (as do I)...If you have not heard "An Oscar Peterson Christmas" by the terrific Jazz Pianist and his quartet from 1995, give it a listen sometime...it is one of my absolute favorites. My holiday season is not complete without his tremendous version of "Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas" (track #10)
  23. Wow, that is some good stuff that I had not heard before. Thanks Vulture.
  24. Needed something new while running Xmas errands today...this was perfect...thanks Chili!!
