It's probably understood in any of the Sox options. That said, a bit shitty karma is definitely due to come Machado's way. It would be fitting to see it come on this grand stage vs The Sox.Where's the "Fuck Machado" option?
Sox in 6
Infamy? What terrible things are you predicting they do?Sox in 6, ditto comment in opposing thread, a brawl in game 2, Price and Pearce earn infamy.
Red Sox forever, team forever, historical status, etc. Nothing terrible at all.Infamy? What terrible things are you predicting they do?
Sox in sixth, as I have said elsewhere, just because.
I'm not sure you know what infamy means.Red Sox forever, team forever, historical status, etc. Nothing terrible at all.
You keep using that word, but I do not think it means what you think it means.I'm not sure you know what infamy means.
Then you don't mean "infamy."Red Sox forever, team forever, historical status, etc. Nothing terrible at all.
Inconceivable!You keep using that word, but I do not think it means what you think it means.
Click on it, it will show you.Ok, I want to know who picked LA. Why do you hate nice things?
Click on it, it will show you.
AL over NL every year 2004 through 2017. NL over AL this year.Sox in 6. Don't they have some great record against National League teams in recent years? I think the AL is the superior league. Anyone know which league has won more interleague games in the last year or two? .
Isn’t the combat zone now the government district?Sox in 6, Fenway gets another clincher.
After the loss, Machado is found passed out in a gutter in the Combat Zone with a dead hooker and a pound of blow.
Is there really any difference between hookers & politicians? Although, I'd probably trust most hookers vs. ANY politician.Isn’t the combat zone now the government district?
Fixed that for you.Sox in 6, ditto comment in opposing thread, a brawl in game 2, Price and Pearce earninfamy.
You're thinking of Scollay Square, not the Combat Zone.Isn’t the combat zone now the government district?
I'm Papo The Snow Tiger and I support this message.It's probably understood in any of the Sox options. That said, a bit shitty karma is definitely due to come Machado's way. It would be fitting to see it come on this grand stage vs The Sox.
Oh yeah, but wasn’t Scollay Square like one border of the combat zone?You're thinking of Scollay Square, not the Combat Zone.
Well, we’re a bunch of individuals who are almost all Red Sox fans, as you say. It’s not like we all got together as a group and unanimously concluded that the Dodgers only have an 8 in 200ish shot of winning.So only 8 out of 200ish respondants so far are picking LA to win this. Meanwhile, I think most official odds I've seen are more like 60/40 on this one...
Granted this is a Red Sox message board, but still seems like a bit of overconfidence.
Nope. Scollay Square was where Government Center is now. When Scollay Square was bulldozed in the days of urban renewal, the adult entertainment district reformed in Chinatown and became known as the Combat Zone.Oh yeah, but wasn’t Scollay Square like one border of the combat zone?
If the Dodgers score one (1) run top of the 1st in Game 1, check the game thread for over-reaction and panicSo only 8 out of 200ish respondants so far are picking LA to win this. Meanwhile, I think most official odds I've seen are more like 60/40 on this one...

OK, been gone from Boston for quite a few years now.Nope. Scollay Square was where Government Center is now. When Scollay Square was bulldozed in the days of urban renewal, the adult entertainment district reformed in Chinatown and became known as the Combat Zone.
My Navy vet dad used to say all that was left of Scollay Square were his tattoos.
Unless you've even older than I thought, you haven't been gone longer than Scolley Sq became Government Center (the very early 60s) or since the Combat Zone was lower Downtown Crossing (the mid/late 60s, and basically killed off by the 90s).OK, been gone from Boston for quite a few years now.

It's even possible, in principle, that if you asked each of us to name the probability of the Sox winning, and averaged the results, you'd get an answer less than 60%. I doubt that would actually happen, but the answer would almost certainly be much closer to 60% than 96%.Math! How does it work?
You realize the difference between the numbers here and us also understanding that LA has a decent shot right?
Like, if I was the only vote and picked the Sox so the results said 100% Red Sox, that doesn't mean I think LA has a 0% chance...
Every Dodger fan I know, and I am surrounded by the in SoCal, has picked the Dodgers to win easily. Consider your sources.So only 8 out of 200ish respondants so far are picking LA to win this. Meanwhile, I think most official odds I've seen are more like 60/40 on this one...

Is that true? We're all working from the same information. If the weather forecast said there was a 20% chance of rain today and you asked 100 people who knew that forecast if they thought it was going to rain, almost everyone would say it was not. But it wouldn't be surprising if it did.It's even possible, in principle, that if you asked each of us to name the probability of the Sox winning, and averaged the results, you'd get an answer less than 60%.
