    SoSH Playoff Predictions 2025

    Same here. I remain convinced that I would be 3-4 if I was betting actual money.

    Is this a playoff team?

    I assume the team is not a finished product, so 81 would be in the range if no further improvements were made. The bullpen as it is today could sink this team as there are a lot of hopes and prayers being counted on. Overall I would say it’s too soon to tell, and that is just a snapshot of how I...

    Is this a playoff team?

    As of right now I’d say they are an 81-86 win team so I went the Jim Mora route. Too many unknowns to be more optimistic than that.

    I guess they could still give the Commanders the Saturday night game at Detroit,

    NFL Wild Card Weekend Game Thread

    Agreed. Giving the one seed a Saturday game also gives them eight days off before the championship game. I feel like the league tries to do that when possible.

    NFL Wild Card Weekend Game Thread

    My guess is if the Packers win, they will play at Detroit on Saturday night. If the winner of the Monday night game goes to Detroit, it will be the late game on Sunday.

    Week 18 NFL Game Thread

    Having the marquee game of the weekend at 4:25 on Sunday seems right. 8pm I meant.

    What is the point of professional sports?

    Fenway Sports Group doesn’t believe in bridge years, or rebuilding with Liverpool because relegation would be catastrophic. The fact that American sports fans willingly accept and root for tanking and other methods of attempting to lose often is widely mocked in the rest of the world. Draft...

    Red Sox sign Walker Buehler

    Buehler is the highest upside FA that doesn’t require a long term contract to a pitcher over 30. I would have hoped for a second year, but this is still a nice stocking stuffer!

    How old are you?

    This thread is depressing. Now I wish I was old enough to have gone to Ebbets Field and also young enough to have been an early teenager in 2004. I probably would have gone all Doris Kearns Goodwin on you guys if I had seen the Brooklyn Dodgers at home, so it probably all worked out for the best.

    How old are you?

    I watched Carlton Fisk walk it off with the sound down because I was supposed to be asleep. I got busted about 30 seconds later.

    Your catchall JOHN HENRY AND THE SOX ARE SOOOO CHEAP!!! thread

    Yes, the only reason to be concerned about the intentions of the ownership group is something that happened 10 years ago. Not anything that has happened since then.

    Your catchall JOHN HENRY AND THE SOX ARE SOOOO CHEAP!!! thread

    Lester wanted to stay and would have taken a team friendly deal. And it was a different era with a version of FSG with looser wallets in charge. My point isn’t to beat the past like the dead horse it is. My concern is the 2024 version of Fenway Sports Group.

    Your catchall JOHN HENRY AND THE SOX ARE SOOOO CHEAP!!! thread

    I don’t want to post this in the Crochet thread and piss in the holiday punch bowl, but why would anyone expect the Red Sox to extend Crochet? I expect the Lester low ball, followed by an angered Crochet following so many other players that wanted to be here out the door. Happy holidays. :)

    Grade the Crochet Trade

    I gave the Crochet trade a 9, but that number will crash if he walks as a free agent. I’m still scarred from how Jon Lester ended up leaving, so I will be paranoid until the press conference announcing the long term extension.

    Much like Newman, the Sox are not “Ready to deliver”– The 2025 Offseason News (& rumors?) Thread

    The assumption that the Red Sox have more revenue and are willing to spend it? BTW, you might have the best user name on SoSH. I always wanted to mention that.

    Much like Newman, the Sox are not “Ready to deliver”– The 2025 Offseason News (& rumors?) Thread

    Like everyone else here, I have no idea what Sam Kennedy’s credentials are to do anything more than mindless public relations. I was being sarcastic with the RedBird snark, thanks for putting some meat on the bones here.

    Max Fried signs with MFY

    I miss the 6:05 April and May starts. It’s so freaking cold at Fenway that a steaming hot cup of chowder is cold before it’s finished.
