    Let's Talk About Bello

    Think I've finally gotten the Bloom Plan figured out re: pitching: Step 1: develop homegrown pitchers who can't pitch effectively during the daytime Step 2: sign these pitchers to below market deals because of that weakness Step 3: vampire apocalypse, no more day games Step 4: PROFIT More...

    Dopes appreciation thread. Or 9/19 game thread. Or both

    Spoiling things for Texas would definitely give me a certain fondness for the 23 Sox. A very sick, fleeting fondness. But a fondness nonetheless.

    The Red Sox have fired Chaim Bloom

    Shivving someone with True Stuff is usually the best way to do it. And the Sox ownership are some of the best at shivving people on their way out.

    9/15 Play Spoiler in Toronto

    I find the "Cora to GM" chatter genuinely baffling. Makes me wonder whether I've accidentally slipped into a parallel dimension in the last 24 hours. It's bananas talk.

    Then you'd be heading for the serious strife.

    9/14 - The Post Bloom Era Begins

    .500 in the post-Bloom era. Makes you think.

    9/14 - The Post Bloom Era Begins

    Does Ref have some plate appearance incentives or something? I can't remember, but maybe Cora's trying to get him some extra cheddar.

    9/14 - The Post Bloom Era Begins

    Yeah, he knows he's gone because he's about to become our new president of baseball operations according to some folks on the board.

    The Red Sox have fired Chaim Bloom

    If you're of the mind - which I am - that Sale's continued contract and place on the roster has stymied the club's ability to put together a solid rotation then his ability to take out Sox PBO's is essentially unrivaled.

    9/14 - The Post Bloom Era Begins

    A new era begins. Hey, the Yankees can't stuff us last place no matter what today. I guess maybe Bloom was right all along, I was too much of a pessimist this season.

    9/14 -Win please?

    Your poems have been wonderful this season. And, perhaps unfortunately for the home town team, more enjoyable than the games on the field of late. Maybe next season you can try limericks?

    9/14 -Win please?

    It's been a wretched slide, but this is still the red Sox and they're still playing the Yankees. If it's a battle for the cellar, better them than us down there. After all, unlike the yankees we have some fresh souls that I think we'd rather hang onto: Or, to put it another way (and borrowing...

    Bloom, Cora -- Do they stay or do they go?

    Yeah, this is exactly where I am. I mean, who knows what lurks in the hearts of men and so forth, but everything we understand about the Sox approach when hiring Bloom strongly suggests they'd give him at least one more year to see "the plan" start to bear more fruit. It would take a pretty big...

    9/12 Game 2 yolo

    For some ungodly reason I flipped back over to this game after having a blast watching the USMNT. It's a sickness.
