    3/28/24 - Opening Day 2024 - Red Sox at Mariners

    Any chance the game threads won't immediately dissolve into a toxic brew of irrational anger this season? Hope springs anew!

    Red Sox to be 1st MLB featured on Netflix series

    Nobody at FSG thinks this is going to cover up for a bad team, come on. It’s just a Werner deal—Netflix was probably fishing around and he bit.

    Theo’s back????!!!!

    My guess (based on nothing) is this was part of the deal from the start and Breslow is thrilled. Edit: that doesn’t change the short term outlook for this team, but I‘m more optimistic about the longer term than I have been in a while.

    Offseason rumors

    I never want to see Bobby D at bat for the Red Sox again, is that too much to ask?

    Let's Lay Off That Throttle

    It appears that Chaim's inability to get deals done was the issue, not the approach. I'd prefer the Sox act like the Atlanta Braves and start developing and locking up their own guys vs. having to overpay in the free agent market. In the meantime they should act a little more appreciative of...

    Mayo is the New Coach

    I like it—get a forward thinking OC and GM in place and let’s go. Cap space and high picks with Gonzalez basically a 2nd # 1 returning, things could turn around quickly (at least as far as being a playoff contender).

    End of an Era: Bill Belichick and Patriots to part ways

    This forum can't help but self-flagellate and predict doom lately. It's OK everyone, we already paid our karmic debt in the 80s and 90s.

    End of an Era: Bill Belichick and Patriots to part ways

    This forum seems to think the Krafts are the Sullivans now I guess. There will be talented people running the football organization. That doesn't mean there's a Super Bowl coming soon but let's give the doom & gloom crap a rest.

    End of an Era: Bill Belichick and Patriots to part ways

    They have cap money, the 3rd pick in the draft (and the 2nd pick in the 2nd round) and somewhat decent core on the defense with Gonzalez returning. Things might actually get better!

    Thank you Bill Belichick

    "We're on to Cincinnati" is one of the greatest coaching moments in the history of the league.

    End of an Era: Bill Belichick and Patriots to part ways

    It seems like Vrabel, Arthur Smith, and Mayo as the DC with a younger GM is the obvious plan, doesn’t it?

    End of an Era: Bill Belichick and Patriots to part ways

    I think for those of us of a certain age—who grew up with only the Celtics ever finishing the job, this truly marks the end of an era. Boston was the center of the sports universe for a long, long time. Still, good things to look forward to.

    End of an Era: Bill Belichick and Patriots to part ways

    Glad to see they‘re not trying to hold him hostage for a 2nd rounder. He’s got 2 or 3 years left to go coach ATL or whoever, let him get to it, and turn the page for the Patriots.

    Will you be watching the NFL playoff game on Peacock?

    Agreed, I’m not going to reward them by signing up, even for a trial.

    BB open to relinquishing GM duties?

    This “they need to own it” stuff is silly. Of course the Krafts own it if Bill isn’t the coach next year…so what if there’s “mutual decision” language in the press release?

    Week 18: Last Ride Against the Gang(G)rene

    Brady’s last pass for the Patriots was a pick six…so fuck it, let’s give the Jets a 6-3 win in the snow as Bill’s final game for some balance.

    The Newest Vaughn

    I wonder if Grissom being sent back to AAA after his terrific 2022 cup of coffee resulted in trying to do too much in his limited ABs in 2023? Hopefully earning the 2B job and being told he’s up for good (on a team where he’s clearly the best option if he can provide ”acceptable” levels of D)...

    Chris Sale (plus $17mil) traded to Atlanta for Vaughn Grissom

    I like this move a ton, regardless of how Sale does this season or whether Grissom ends up being a starter here or part of a package. Bloom might still be GM if he’d done this last season.

    State Taxes Where They Play. And Canada

    Meaningless. Edit: I didn't mean to belittle your post, it is a nice exercise, but there's just no functional difference between $150 million or $175 million net worth...unless maybe you're Antoine Walker or something. Maybe at a certain level you can own a private jet vs. using NetJets.
