    Red Sox Rumors - Just Kidding

    Sorry, but I can't help but find some humor in Dave Robert's post-season steals being reduced to the parenthetical. I'm sure it wasn't your intent to minimize (or maybe it was tongue-in-cheek), and also not germane to your point. Just struck me kinda funny, given the historical relevance...

    After Babe Ruth ... who?

    Went with Boggs. I'm one of those for whom it stings less when there's a team in between. Like, it's not directly the Red Sox fault. So I could live with the Clemens thing. I was young for the Tiant deal, and I don't recall him being especially good in NY (even though that's not exactly right...

    Let's Talk About MLBTV

    Yes, good reminder, I think the accounts generally renew on or about March 1. Whether it sends a message or not, I also opted out. I'm not into exchanging funds right now given the situation. Presumably there will be some kind of discount offered based on whatever happens. If you pay full price...

    Pick Your All-Red Sox World Series Roster

    As a variation on this very fun exercise, what if you take "closer" as a position, and can only have one of Foulke, Paps, Koji, or Kimbrel, so middle relievers get some consideration? Perhaps that opens the door to, for example, Timlin, Joe Kelly, even Wakefield, who would presumably be used in...

    Jerry Remy Has Passed Away

    So awful. Tough as he was, I figured he'd be back in the booth next year. Condolences to his family, friends, and fans. Thanks, Jerry, for the on-field contributions, and the fun times during the broadcasts. I loved all the shenanigans, and his New England sense of humor. The laughter was...

    Soup Goes to Nam

    I have thought the same thing: Soup should write a book. You can't help but want to hear more of his story if you read Bill Lee's The Wrong Stuff (which I think is where the Lee quotes above come from). Actually, The Wrong Stuff should be reprinted, it's a terrific read. (Like practically...

    Chronic Inability to Throw Strikes

    It seems to me like it's a chronic inability to put batters away. I don't know how to quickly find lots of stats on this, but I feel Sox pitchers get ahead, say 0-2, and then take forever to finish a PA. I get that you don't always want to throw a strike in certain counts, but batters are...

    Who is the first Red Sox First Baseman you can remember?

    Yeah, I didn't mean to refer to Rico as a career 3B...just shows what a late part of his career I (vaguely) remember.

    Who is the first Red Sox First Baseman you can remember?

    This thread doesn't seem to be going away, so I'll add. It really has been a fun off-season diversion. My answer was "George Scott" (2nd time around), but my memory has failed me a bit. I was eight in '75, so I remember hearing of the Sox making a run, and then learning about post-season games...

    Whatever happened to the 10th Player Award? Submit nominations

    I'd like to add another vote for Leon. I like Shaw as a second. And thanks for the thread...it reminded me that I saw Hobson receive his award before my first game at Fenway, 9/11/77, I believe (a win vs Tigers, grand slam by Rice).
