Sox Therapy: Sox Therapy Looks at the Hall of Fame BallotWith the recent announcement of the official 2019 Hall of Fame ballot I am reminded of just how devalued I personally find the Hall of Fame and related discussions. All too often it comes down to people shouting past each other about WAR calculations or what “Fame” means in the context of the Hall and that is not even getting into the varying viewpoints on PEDs and other questionable behaviors. At this point it is more fun for me to see the names popping up on the list and remembering some of ... Read More...Hall of Merit: Most Meritorious Player: 2018 BallotHere are the specific rules for this election: Candidate Eligibility: Any North American professional baseball player is eligible for the Most Meritorious Player (MMP) award including players on independent teams. Voters should consider the player’s on-field contribution to Major League Baseball (MLB) team(s) in that season only. If part of the season was spent outside MLB, that value may be considered as well. However, the player’s on-field contribution should be judged in relation to the ...

Apologies for the delay but I am on a bit of a vacation in Florida but sadly the weather here is awful, only 72 degrees and clear skies. I can’t imagine anywhere else in the US is having worse weather. Anyhoot…I think there is not a lot to talk about for the Red Sox for the coming winter months. Unlike last year when there was a lot to do ...

Hall of Merit: Mock 2019 Today’s Game Hall of Fame BallotCandidates Harold Baines See full descriptions here Vote for zero to four candidates Voting will end Friday 11/16/2017 at 1pm EST Sox Therapy: The Greatest Red Sox Team…EVER!!!!With all due respect to the speech by Curtis Montague Schilling (R-RI) after the 2004 World Series title this truly is the greatest Red Sox team ever. They laid waste to the American League during the regular season winning a team record 108 games, then blitzed the 100 win second place Yankees in four games, ran through the defending World Series champion 103 win Astros in five games then put the smack down on the two time National League champion Dodgers in five to close it out. And the ... Read More...Hall of Merit: Most Meritorious Player: 1948 BallotFor 1948 each voter should rank the top 10 players from all leagues combined. Balloting is scheduled to close at 4pm EDT on 7 November 2018. Anyone can vote, even if you do not normally participate in Hall of Merit discussions. If you have never participated in an MMP election, just post a preliminary ballot in the discussion thread by 6 Nov 2018. For detailed rules see one of our previous ballots. Sox Therapy: Let’s Get World Serious!So here we go. The rematch 102 years in the making as the Dodgers look to get revenge for the pain inflicted by Babe Ruth (imagine waiting a century to overcome some kind of pain inflicted by Babe Ruth, losers). This should be a humdinger of a series with the two best teams in their respective leagues in my opinion doing battle. There are plenty of questions worth considering; 1. Will Mookie Betts play second base? This is going to get a fair amount of attention but I suspect it is not ... Read More...Page 3 of 157 pages < 1 2 3 4 5 > Last › | Features Archive | Site Archive
