So Cora is going to leave Wink in until after the Rox take the lead, isn't he?
And people still defend Cora's performance.

I know this is in the “get off my lawn” bucket but I hate it when something bad happens, and the camera pans to a Red Sox player who is happily yammering away with a player on the other team
For me, it is the constant feeling that there's a dance party going on in the stands regardless of the score or whatever may be happening in the actual game. I will concede to being old.

How can you ever call a core member of that team “lucky”?
He was the guy who had the slogan “Don’t let us win”. He was not a significant part of the journey other than The Walk. He has parlayed this into a great post play career. Right place at the right time.

this is blasphemy in my book

i get that he was and is a bit of a clown but he was a huge part of that clubhouse and had a very good year for not a ton of money. The walk alone is reason enough to give him a pass for living off the moment

I’m 47 and remember all the bad stuff vividly. Those 04 guys are forever special in my book

Winckowski was missing spots by the size of a beach ball. For all we know they called the high heat lol
Pretty sure it was three straight sliders, and the last one had a "hit me here" sign on it approaching the plate.

This is utter and complete bullshit.

150 games, 18 HR, .847 OPS, OPS+ of 117.


.959 OPS in SEP/OCT
1.027 OPS w/RISP
1.038 OPS vs. the MFY


Get the fuck out of here.

I was at the game when Terrance Long robbed Manny of a walk off homer in similar fashion. Fenway went from a full roar to dead silent in an instant.

Did the rain knock that down a little? That contact (106mph, 22 degrees) should have gone farther, I think.
