    2018 Red Sox World Champions Parade thread

    Not sure where to ask this... but I can no longer find "the Alex Cora hoodie" (the grey one with "WS" on the front) anywhere to buy online. All the WS gear now says World Series Champions (a good problem to have, no doubt). Any suggestions?

    Lineup in NL Park for WS

    Mookie Betts at second base? Alex Cora: “I don’t know man, he already played second during the regular season. There’s always a chance, I guess."

    BOS bullpen 2018

    What happens - hypothetically - if Cora just brings Kimbrel out in the 8th one game, and lets Barnes close one out? What’s the worst that can happen? Kimbrel’s last 6 appearances: 6.1 IP, 6 ER, 7 H, 5 BB, 2 HR, 8 K

    BOS bullpen 2018

    Might as well move Pomeranz now. Easier to "pitch out of it" if it's only an inning at a time.

    Red Sox acquire Ian Kinsler

    .859 OPS since May 28 for Ty Buttrey and Williams Jerez? Hell yeah.

    Eovaldi to Red Sox, per Rosenthal

    Nice get. Who knows when E-Rod or Wright comes back.

    Sale to start ASG

    As long as he gets thru two innings efficiently & still is on track to make his start on Sunday... all fine by me. Congrats to Sale; he definitely deserves it.

    2018 All-Star Game Rosters

    Trout, Betts, and Judge... one is not like the other.

    Vazquez to DL with broken pinkie, out 6-8 weeks

    Well, Swihart never had the consistent reps... Call me crazy, but I think he’s gonna mash.

    JoKe

    He’s not very good against the Astros, apparently.

    JBJ: Elite Defender With Some Pop

    Before Hanley? Yes. Now... he’s a super defensive sub and starts once every 3-4 games until injury/streaks necessitates otherwise. But I still think he can get on one of his notorious streaks and prove me/everyone else wrong.

    Hanley DFA'd (5/25 Update)

    One more reason tonight - in the 1st damn inning - that he shouldn’t be batting 3rd, much less being undeserving of those 497+ PAs. Once Pedey comes back, Hanley should be batting 6th (if not outright benched in favor of Moreland) until he ends this current slump.

    JBJ: Elite Defender With Some Pop

    Alex Speier on last night's game: "Bradley (2-3) has swung at 3 four-seam fastballs tonight, putting all in play with an exit velo of 95-100 mph. After the Baltimore series, this qualifies as a significant step forward for him." If he somehow turns it around - or at least gets on one of his...

    Red Sox sign David Price

    If you would've told me in June that the Sox could get David Price without giving up Mookie, Xander, Eddie, Blake, or any other prospect, nor do they have to even give up a draft pick... You don't hesitate for a nanosecond. Money be damned. They just got significantly better, with minimal...

    Arsenal 2013-2014: Insufferable & Unsuccessful -- And Worse than Chelsea

      This.   Wigan beat a damn good Citeh club playing at home, and they're still the current holders of the trophy.  Can't take anything for granted at this point.  The 2011 League Cup Final comes to mind.

    Arsenal 2013-2014: Insufferable & Unsuccessful -- And Worse than Chelsea

    A draw vs a good Everton side doesn't mean the sky is falling.   Arsenal is still in a stronger position after 15 Premier League games than any team since 2005.
