TA Moncada Eloy Abreu Bummer

I won't be greedy....I'm fine with 3 World Series championships this decade. Maybe 4. Happy New Year Sox Fans!!!

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.

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.

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!!!

Ah yes, for the man of steal...I see what you did there!!

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.

They brought back Eaton and hired La Russa....I'm not sure they are concerned about team chemistry all that much.

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.

Just looked it up and can't believe Brent has been out of the league for 7 years!! I feel old

I annually enjoy the following older holiday films: A Christmas Carol with Alastair Sim The Great Rupert,aka A Christmas Wish starring Jimmy Durante The Lemon Drop Kid We're No Angels starring Humphrey Bogart It Happened on 5th Avenue Miracle on 34th Street Holiday Inn Going My Way The Bishops Wife Beyond Tomorrow

I don't understand why Theo didn't want to stick around?

Thanks Cali...cooking some risotto for the family and enjoying a fabulous St. Bernabus Apt 12 this Xmas Eve...all the best to you and all on Soxtalk for a wonderful Christmas and a healthy and happy New Year!! CHEERS everyone!!!

2021 cannot come soon enough. Merry Christmas everyone. It is always great to hear from other Sox fanatics!!

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

& put him in LF so Eloy can DH

And thank you for sharing Small Town Titans on your list....that Grinch version Rocks!!!

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)

Wow, that is some good stuff that I had not heard before. Thanks Vulture.

Needed something new while running Xmas errands today...this was perfect...thanks Chili!!

Can't go wrong with him or Nat King Cole!!

All nice suggestions, thank you Brian...No problem testing my eclectic taste as the current discs I have on shuffle are The Ventures, Leslie Odom Jr, Charlie Brown, Bette Midler and The New Christy Minstrels....Kacey and Chance will fit in nicely

Thanks, Tex...That is tremendous!!

Confirmed....it is so Rick Hahn to post this at Midnight and hope Noone notices....you're a slick one, Rick.

Just listened to his Carol of the Bells...I'm sold...thanks!!
