    Jarren Duran: Today We Like Him

    If that is indeed his reasoning, he has seemingly shifted disciplinary responsibility first to the players and now the fans. Cora’s player-friendly style has certainly reaped benefits at times with earlier rosters and seasons. But this is showcasing a worrisome weakness in that approach and...

    Dombrowski Press Conference

    FWIW he briefly referenced Pedroia when asked on the radio broadcast tonight about up the middle defense. Said he is still "a fine player" and has just been unfortunately injured this season, etc. he repeated his press conference name checks of the kids, including the JBJ-Betts--Castillo...

    Hanley ,The Monster, and LF: It's a "work in progress"

    I may be chastised for posting a slightly drunken and clearly reactionary post after tonight's game. But goddamnit, this is one instance when there is such a justifiable and overwhelming reaction by not just the fans but relatively thoughtful media that it is borderline obstinate not to move...

    Protecting the Shields -- The Nick Cafardo Thread

    He has simply become irrelevant. I don't even follow him on Twitter anymore.

His not even ever mentioning the Royals as a team vying for Cueto was particularly...

    During my nine day visit with the Biaviians aboard the great mothership, I managed to, uh, get some Polaroid shots of the, uhhh, ships uhhhh, in broad daylight. These are are smart bugs, five feet tall. However, when you learn the potential magnitude of their power coupled with the deductive...
