    Your top "forgot he was a Red Sox"

    Which reminds me of my favorite trivia bit from SoSH over the last few years: The following MLB Managers were all on the 2008 Red Sox roster: Cash, Cora, Kotsay, Ross as players plus Brad Mills and John Farrell from the coaches offices. 2009 adds Baldelli to the list as well.

    Your top "forgot he was a Red Sox"

    I remember some of the "should you root for the perfect game" stuff on sportscenter or Baseball tonight at the time. But this was so close to the high water mark for the rivalry that I think it was completely reasonable if not even expected for the Sox fans to cheer for a hit that would...

    Your top "forgot he was a Red Sox"

    I was in college in 1999 with a Yankee fan roomate and I will forever remember the phantom tag and the combination of outrage and bleak acceptance of the Yankee's continuing to be our nemesis. The closest revenge I got before graduation was watching Mussina's perfecto get broken up in the 9th...

    Tilt: Game Over

    I mean I figured he was at least worth a look with the WooSox, AAA for sure.

    The Uniform

    Most of this thread: I don't hate the alt jerseys but they should not be worn more than the "regular" ones - or else they aren't alternates.

    Extreme Makeover: The Jarren Duran Edition

    I mean he's still in contact with the base, so I'd imagine he's impossible to tag out at that point.

    2023 Starting Rotation

    From my seats behind the Sox dugout, Pivetta looked like he had no command on any of his breaking stuff and his fastball was just getting murdered once the Braves realized they could sit on it. The hanger that Olson hit to the moon not withstanding, none of the breaking stuff was in the zone.

    5/9: Red Sox v Braves Round 1

    The crowd is probably 40% Sox fans tonight. Even with the Braves as good as they are. I’ve seen jerseys for everyone from Xander to Verdugo

    5/9: Red Sox v Braves Round 1

    Checking in from just to the OF side of the Sox dugout. Tarp currently on the field. Light sprinkles. Rain chance is 50% per my app but 100% chance of a Sox victory. Chisel that in stone.

    5/9: Red Sox v Braves Round 1

    I came to post in the game thread that I'd be in the house today and every sox game I've been to has a HR for a Sox player. But there was no game thread. So let's get it together SoSH. How else am I supposed to entertain myself at work today? I've not had a game thread in probably 10+ years...

    When Is It Okay To Worry About Triston Casas: An Attempt at the Reverse Jinx

    Everyone got burned with a bad strike zone last night - makes it hard to make good swing decisions: (Looking at the chart it sure feels like it was worse than this in real time) [
