    Challenge: The Gift that Keeps On Giving. . .

    The Punto trade seemed ripe with possibility: July 2000: Hanley Ramirez (1 year ML cup of coffee, -0.1 WAR) signs as an international FA. Traded November 2005 to Florida (with Anibal Sanchez & 2 others) for: Josh Beckett (7 years, 22.3 WAR). Traded August 2012 to Dodgers (with Nick Punto & 2...

    Challenge: The Gift that Keeps On Giving. . .

    Here's one that spans the entirety of the Duquette era: June 1994: Mike Jacobs & Marc Lewis drafted by Boston in DD's first draft. (1 MiL year each). July 1995: Jacobs & Lewis traded to Atlanta for Mike Stanton (1 year, 1.9 WAR). July 1996: Stanton traded to Texas (with PTBNL Dwayne Hosey) for...

    Derrick White, On-Off wizard

    I mostly remember this, but I didn't remember Aldridge, nor do I remember who responded to him with this, which made it even better: "What makes you think Lamar Odom has what it takes to make it in the competitive world of shoe sales?"

    Same. 8/9 today.

    Immaculate Grid: Show Off Your Useless Baseball Depth Knowledge!

    Great pull for the upper left, but I'm shocked your lower left only has 3%. He's I avoided him, along with because I figured they were too obvious. I had typed in for that square but I wasn't 100% that he had 20 wins that year, so I went safer. 193 total score.

    Immaculate Grid: Show Off Your Useless Baseball Depth Knowledge!

    is definitely my candidate for the next "forgot he was a Red Sox" thread. 9/9 today, RS=50. They also rolled out a hockey grid for the first time - today was all the original six teams.

    Immaculate Grid: Show Off Your Useless Baseball Depth Knowledge!

    9/9 and 23 RS, by far my best. Highlights: - was more than half my score - Really surprised how rare all my all-star picks were - was a 0.01% pick in the upper left - maybe the lowest possible player score? (That isn't a guess or a cheat, he just happens to be one of those that played for a...

    Immaculate Grid: Show Off Your Useless Baseball Depth Knowledge!

    face pretty much matches my face during his appearances. I got my second 9/9 in a row after never having one before. 104 score. Having so many AL east teams helped. Surprised that was as low as he was, but I guess there are just so many options to pick from for that one. Too many.

    Immaculate Grid: Show Off Your Useless Baseball Depth Knowledge!

    First ever 9/9 for me. And I'm not sure I'll ever beat this 34. Was able to use a lot of "played for everyone" go-tos today. . This is clearly the grid of someone who played a lot of fantasy baseball from 1995-2005.

    I didn't read the fine print and today went right for Fisk as RotY/White Sox. Didn't realize that awards/stats combos need to match the correct uniform for the year they won the award. Makes sense.

    Derrick White, On-Off wizard

    Shoulda said "most recent". Or ordered the list differently I guess. But yeah.

    Derrick White, On-Off wizard

    If you had asked me to name all the buzzer beaters when trailing & facing elimination, I'd have come right out with MJ and then Kawhi's four-bouncer against the 6ers. But that was to break a tie. I had the final score right in my head, but misremembered it as a 3 rather than a long 2. So that...

    When to get excited?

    I'm excited right now. I was excited the moment the clock hit zeros on game 3. That was a miserable game. You know what else was a miserable game? 19-8. The fourth quarter of game 3 was Wakefield pitching four innings to rest the bullpen. I felt numb watching each of those game threes. But I...

    Warner Bros. Discovery tells teams it is leaving RSN business

    I'd be happy to be proven wrong but among everything I've considered, DirecTV is the only single service with both NESN and NBC Boston - and I'm even in market. I moved to DTV when YouTube dropped NESN (the stream quality itself has also been a lot better). I still would love a cheaper option.

    Should the 5-inning rule for starting pitchers to earn the win be altered?

    EDIT: Should have checked the rulebook first, I totally misread the "brief and ineffective" clause. :confused: I'd originally said that if the starter goes fewer than five, the first reliever gets the win if the team never relinquishes the lead and the first reliever is not "ineffective in a...

    The Michael McCorkle "Mac" Jones Thread

    True about the regular season (of course), but Joe Flacco in 2008 started all 16 regular season games and 3 postseason. Mac matched Sanchize (15 & 3) and Russell Wilson (16 & 2) for second, as far as I can tell.

    2021 NBA Playoffs Gamethread

    Haven't cared for him since the 70 point game against the C's in '17. That game was a blowout entering the 4th that ended up a 10-point win with Booker against five human victory cigars, ballhogging his way into the history books. I thought I'd be over that by now but it's stuck with me for some...

    Is something up with Phillips Valdez's slider release point?

    ToeKneeArmAss discovered Byrd's pitch tipping. It wasn't covered up by the Sox, to the contrary they fixed it based on this revelation and credited SoSH and TKAA. I remember NESN comically trying to explain the username in a PG manner during a pregame show.
