    Let's enjoy memories of the Red Sox of the past 20 years! What were your favorites (team/player/moment/etc)?

    There's been so many great ones posted here. I was a member here starting in 2002 when I was 15. I was active in the chat here and posted all the time, but my interest in the Sox (though not baseball in general) faded in my 20s and into my early 30s. Part of it was seeing the dismantling of the...

    Absolutely heartbreaking.

    Tim Wakefield has passed away from brain cancer at 57 (10/1 update)

    As a North Carolina basketball fan, maybe Rashad McCants? But while he did win a title, I don't think what he accomplished for Carolina was on the same level as what Schilling did for the Sox.

    It sucks that we're even having to talk about Schilling right now.

    Tim Wakefield has passed away from brain cancer at 57 (10/1 update)

    Schilling said at the beginning of the podcast that he wasn't sure whether Wakefield wanted it out there, but he believes in the power of prayer, so he shared it in the hopes people would pray for him. I obviously agree with the others - if it wasn't meant for public consumption he needed to...

    Just saw this on Twitter. Absolutely brutal news.

    What does Red Sox starting pitching look like in 2024?

    Yeah, I'm not sure if he'll last as a pitcher for the duration of the contract. But, if he were to suffer another injury (another elbow tear, possible shoulder injury) that drastically impacted his ability to pitch, I wouldn't be surprised if he could play an above average RF. While at that...

    What does Red Sox starting pitching look like in 2024?

    Yeah, the Ohtani rumours are really exciting, but I just don't see it happening, and not because of Yoshida. Like others, I've watched a ton of Ohtani, and every time I see him pitch in anything but nice temperatures he looks miserable. I can't imagine him being excited by the prospect of April...

    If Ohtani will come, Yoshida cannot be why he cannot.

    I try to use Pedro at every opportunity. Today, I was most proud of my 0.04% HOU/TEX answer.

    Yankees must win for Red Sox to get passion again!

    Came here to post this myself. While I remain a huge baseball fan, just not of the Sox in particular, the 2004 Red Sox remain my favourite team ever, and in my opinion are the greatest team in baseball history. I will always celebrate October 27th.

    Whose Departure From the Sox Devastated You Most?

    That's true. But if you're evaluating whether it was the right decision to let him leave, and you're using a SSS like starts against one particular team, I think it's fair to evaluate what he did against that team afterwards, no? And ERAs of 3.46 and 3.80 against the best offense in the league...

    Whose Departure From the Sox Devastated You Most?

    And a 1.80 ERA in 2005 in 2 starts (15 IP) and 7 shutout innings against the Yankees in 2006.

    Whose Departure From the Sox Devastated You Most?

    ERA+ is league and park adjusted and he led the NL in WHIP.

    Whose Departure From the Sox Devastated You Most?

    I don't think it's fair to say that it was the right move to let Pedro go. His first year with the Mets was absolutely dominant. Not to his peak levels, but he had a 146 ERA+ over 217 IP with a WHIP of 0.95. In 2006 he was dominating again until he hurt his hip slipping in the tunnel in Florida...

    Man City banned from Champions League for next two seasons (EDIT:LOL JK)

    Bayern's been doing really well under Hansi Flick, but I do wonder if Pep will end up back at Bayern. Sane was already rumoured to be on his way there after this season too.
