— Our Blogs and Nothing But Our Blogs Hall of Merit: Most Meritorious Player: 1947 BallotFor 1947 each voter should rank the top 10 players from all leagues combined. Balloting is scheduled to close at 4pm EDT on 3 October 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 2 Oct 2018. For detailed rules see one of our previous ballots. Sox Therapy: Decisions DecisionsOK, the Sox have clinched the American League East for the third consecutive year and at some point soon will secure home field throughout their playoff run. I think I can now safely consider the roster without any jinxes (except injury. This whole piece assumes health which…oh man I’m going to worry about this for two weeks). Anyway, I am operating under a 14 position player/11 pitcher set up. (and yes I just literally knocked on my wooden desk); INFIELD: Mitch Moreland, Ian Kinsler, ... Read More...Sox Therapy: IT’S OVERThe Sox made it three straight AL East division titles today with a wild win and can now focus on going deeper into the playoffs than they have managed the last two seasons. For what I hope will be some mild amusement attached are one fan’s journey through an amazing and soon to be record setting season. Sorry I couldn’t put the pictures in here but you should hopefully be able to see them. The photos in order are; Bobby Dalbec Sox Therapy: 6,036 DaysAs far as I can tell, this blog was started on March 11, 2002. Today is day 6,036 in our long quest to take over the site, the baseball community, the internet, and the universe. We’ve made some progress, but we still have a ways to go. Hall of Merit: Most Meritorious Player: 1947 DiscussionBaseball finally begins to integrate. The Yankees beat Brooklyn in the World Series. The NY Cubans beat the Cleveland Buckeyes soundly in the Negro World Series. Vote for 10.

Sox Therapy: 11 Days LaterA year ago vi wrote about “The Gauntlet,” a tough stretch of the schedule that really established the Sox on their divisional chase. This year’s version was these past 11 days where the Sox faced first place Cleveland, a feisty White Sox team, first place Atlanta and first place Houston while the Yankees had a West Coast trip to deal with. It was a bit grueling but the Sox did enough going 8-5 against this tough competition. They now lead by 8 1/2 games with 18 to play and are firmly ...

Gonfalon Cubs: The Final Push24 games to go. Cubs still have 8 games left on this 23 straight day stretch, but only 2 more real road trips - DC this weekend and and Phoenix in a couple of weeks; the only other road games are today in Milwaukee and 3 at The Cell. A 3 game lead is far from comfortable, especially after the way the last 2 games played out, but a win today and leaving with a 4 game lead with 23 left is still quite the enviable position. The Cubs went 18-10 in September, and are 10-4 in their last 14, but ... Read More...Moses Taylor, aka Hambone Fakenameington

The Sox have a challenging schedule with a seven game road trip against the White Sox and Braves then three at home against Houston. While this is going on the Yankees will be playing four in Detroit then a challenge of their own with three in Oakland and three in Seattle. If one team can assert itself during this stretch (or one team ... Read More...Page 5 of 157 pages ‹ First < 3 4 5 6 7 > Last › | Features Archive | Site Archive
