    Which team wins a Front Office / Coaching Baseball Tournament

    Might I suggest that an interesting twist would be to "put together the best roster (All-Star) of front office execs and uniformed coaches across MLB." Maybe that's a breakout thread? When we add "special assistant," that's just about anyone who retired and can get their team some publicity.

    2023 WS Game/Discussion Thread: 2021 100+ Game Loser Edition

    It certainly got misty up in here.

    2023 WS Game/Discussion Thread: 2021 100+ Game Loser Edition

    I wasn't quite sure of my rooting interest in this series (other than 7 games) but this story sealed my slight pull for Arizona. https://www.mlb.com/news/featured/world-series-nicole-hazen-mike-hazen-love-story

    Yeah, I got it. Pretty good.

    Let's enjoy memories of the Red Sox of the past 20 years! What were your favorites (team/player/moment/etc)?

    Thank you for starting this thread! I have to share two memories, the first was the Tokyo Dome Series in 2008, I got to meet a lot of SOSH and although I'm fairly shy by nature, I enjoyed watching our team win one and commiserate with some of you as we lost the second. I also got down to field...

    Tim Wakefield has passed away from brain cancer at 57 (10/1 update)

    I have no original thoughts to add to everyone's sadness over this news, I just want you all to know that I'm glad I'm in this community to commiserate with you at times like these.

    The Red Sox have fired Chaim Bloom

    I agree with this. I had a feeling this was coming, not necessarily because I thought Bloom wasn't doing a good job, but more because I thought HIS bosses would let him take the fall. I think Cora is too popular in the clubhouse to let go right now, but if he were to go, I would look at this as...

    The racist incident that shook baseball nine years before integration

    I read this earlier. Disturbing how willing to excuse the casual racism so many were in this article.

    I loved Xander, but I think we're good!

    8/25/23 - Los Angeles at Boston

    I don't think those of you in the U.S. get to see the in-between innings feed, but there was a "welcome back" tribute to our 2018 WS champions, tilt, and of course Mookie. Mookie was talking to the guy next to him in the dugout and it was a little unclear to me if the conversation was more "I...

    A’s have signed a binding agreement to purchase land for a future ballpark in Las Vegas.

    Oh, yes, I should have remembered the Braves. Did not know that the Browns were once the Brewers.

    A’s have signed a binding agreement to purchase land for a future ballpark in Las Vegas.

    This is heartbreaking. I first went to the Oakland Coliseum in 1979 and it was gorgeous pre-Mount Davis, much better than Candlestick back then. I have been post-Mount Davis as well and it's a dump, but the fans were still great (this was 2003.) Losing the Warriors, Raiders, and now the A's is a...

    4/15 Thank You for Sending Me an Angel

    My first two games at Fenway were against the Angels. The first in 1986 when a ninth-inning comeback started a long winning streak that led to the division crown.

    Those championship hats are pretty sharp. I want one next year.

    Philadelphia vs Houston - World Series thread

    Happy for Dusty. Thank you SOSH for a lot of laughs in a year in which our team was hard to watch. Dunno if I will get the MLB.tv package next year or not so I may not game thread much, we shall see.

    Philadelphia vs Houston - World Series thread

    I never understood why MLB didn't just move Milwaukee back to the AL when the leagues were unbalanced. Well, I get that the commish had an interest in keeping that Cubs rivalry alive, but it feels like that made the AL Central perpetually mediocre.

    Philadelphia vs Houston - World Series thread

    Had to go pick up my kid from rugby practice and listen to the Houston radio feed in the car. Ugh. They are NOT good.

    Philadelphia vs Houston - World Series thread

    I only get MLB.tv "zen of baseball" ads. They're nice and soothing but pretty damn repetitive.

    I'm assuming because if it was a swing Castellanos would need to know to run to first.

    I would say this lead feels insurmountable, but G1 makes it seem less so.
