    I'm back baby! The 2023-24 EFL Championship

    I lived in England in the mid 1970s when my dad worked there. We were Ipswich Town supporters as they were the closest First Division (as it was then) team to us. This coincided with a great run the team had under Bobby Robson - won the FA Cup in 1978 (went to Wembley for the final), very...

    Red Sox acquire Zack Short

    I'm talking about him being a bad hitter and apparently just an okay fielder. Whatever smarts or leadership or whatever else he brings to the table aren't going to make up for those two things. Sorry if you thought this was a personal attack - it wasn't meant to be.

    Red Sox sign Dominic Smith

    Between Smith and Short, it sure seems like "bottom of the barrel" day. Is Wil Myers unavailable?

    Red Sox acquire Zack Short

    I don't know anything about this guy other than looking at his raw stats, but this strikes me as something people say about scrappy white guys who are not actually talented enough to play at a major league level. "Yeah, he's not a great fielder and he can't hit at all, but he makes up for it...

    April 24. 2024 Beat the Heat

    I feel like the first sentence of this post was probably written last year too. We kept thinking these guys would pull their heads out of their asses long enough to beat a clearly inferior team that was lucky to even make the playoffs and then they didn't.

    Bello to IL with lat tightness

    Crawford and Houck and pray for... What rhymes with Houck?

    Cleveland 4/23, Houck Yeah, It's Tanner Time

    Not sure that it mattered, but that looked like a really terrible throw by Refsnyder.

    Which Current MLBers Will Be In the Hall of Fame?

    I don't know how anybody who saw Nomar's career arch can think that Soto is a no doubt Hall of Famer at this point. Yeah, he'll probably make it, but all it takes is one fluke injury. Regarding pitchers - It seems like the standards for starters has been ridiculously high. Jim Kaat should...

    Feats of Mookie - 2024 Angst & Awe

    I thought the whole premise was that he moved the best player in baseball history in order to finance No No Nanette.

    Wave of mutilation: The latest injuries

    Which is better to have in this new era of pitcher injuries, the guys you crossed out who suffer catastrophic Tommy John injuries and miss an entire season once every 3-4 years or a guy like Whitlock who, through various smaller injuries, misses 10 starts every season? Not saying this to be...

    4/17 vs Guardians

    Under 2 hours? That's incredible.

    4/17 vs Guardians

    How the hell do you miss the bag? It's just amazing the dunderheaded plays this team makes night after night.

    Feats of Mookie - 2024 Angst & Awe

    Hah, people love to say "Flags fly forever" but I guess in Frazee's case, that's not true. I wonder how many fans realize the Sox won a World Series while he owned the team?

    4/16 - vs Cleveland - in which Dalbec finally gets a hit

    Casas challenging Steve "Psycho" Lyons, circa 1985. Edit - Doh, beaten to the punch by @Hyde Park Factor!

    The Fenway Park Experience

    I went to a White Sox game in Chicago on the night of OJ's white Bronco chase in 1994. The guy I went with, a White Sox season ticket holder, had never caught a foul ball in his life until, the night before, he caught two fouls balls in the same Robin Ventura at bat.

    Neither does our middle infield.

    Must... resist... urge to... post joke about... getting... whiplash... from watching those baseballs... rocket... out of the park.... Urrgggh!

    Wave of mutilation: The latest injuries

    At least this maybe explains his bad start at the plate.

    The Juice Expires (OJ Dead at 76)

    Growing up as a Dolphins fan in upstate NY, I was constantly taunted by my elementary school classmates with "Miami's got the oranges but Buffalo's got the juice!" I remember the Dolphins generally winning those games though.
