I enjoy everything you post Harold. I I think you are being facetious, I'm not really old But I do feel crusty

You should probably take a shower.

The only way of getting a stepped-up basis is if the property is inherited. So who died?

yea but they have to pay inheritance tax on anything above, what, $13 mill?  And that tax rate is a lot higher than the long term capital gains rate.

Tomorrows game is a national game on FOX. How dope would it be if the announcers are Pierzynski and Benetti and they just s%*# on the franchise for 3 hours. 

Even dozen now. Every time we think it can't get any worse it does.

Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right, here I am...stuck in the middle with you.

If swept, 27-81 (.250) at the 2/3 mark of the season.

Bonus points for a great song!

At least Thorpe has many more years to improve.

Salvy Perez ending Kyle Hendricks’ career was just sad to watch.

Pulling Robert in a 10-0 game with 3 days until the TDL is the smartest thing that the Sox have done in nearly two decades. 

Was there a reason why he was pulled?  Or did Pedro just decide to rest him.

Team is just collecting checks on the 15th and the 30th.

Probably because it was 10-0 3 days before the TDL

19 runs scored during this 12 game losing streak (and counting) ?

If they don’t hit the shutout record, I’m still curious if they have set a record for most shutouts and one-run games.

Forget about trades....extend Peralta tonight....4 1/3 innings of 2 hit ball has to be the highlight of the 2024 bullpen.

Luis is 100 percent disinterested and it’s showing in the play.  I would not be surprised if he was moved to a contender and all the sudden looked like a MVP candidate again.

100%.  He will be a star the moment he has something to play for.  I get that pisses some people off, but it’s hard to stay motived when you play for Pedro Grifol and will likely be competing for the all time worst record.

All I was doing was commenting on how to get a stepped-up basis without paying income tax on the increase. Someone has to check out. What you say is correct but I never said it wasn’t.

This Sox team has to be one of the worst MLB teams in history, if not the worst.  With one of the worse managers ever in Grifol and owner in JR.  It is a total embarrassment and disrespect for the fans.  At least fire the manager, do something to change direction.

Both Twisters and Deadpool ten times more entertaining. 

We have our own version... the worst bullpen in baseball a shock to absolutely no one who follows this team closely. 

Absolutely insane that the supremely talented Ethan Katz couldn't assemble a functional bullpen from the team that "can only develop pitching"

Did you see this bullpen?  There was no assembling anything except a turd there.
