— Our Blogs and Nothing But Our Blogs Sox Therapy: Dead LineAs of this moment Boston is in last place, and not playing well. They are also, with a solidly mediocre 50-50 record, 3.5 games out of a playoff spot. They are Schrödinger’s Baseball Team. They are simultaneously dead and alive. The trade deadline is 6 PM on Tuesday 8/2. Between now and then they need to choose which side of the line they’re on, and act accordingly.

Let’s take a few minutes to consider the case for them by position. *I was trying to come up with an evergreen statement on the vote status. This might have gone too far. I could be talking about Brayan Bello, or Walt Dropo, for all you can tell. Hall of Merit: Most Meritorious Player: 1900 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.

The quality of competition was not particularly frightening but I am old enough to be able to recite chapter and verse on how west coast road trips have turned Red Sox’ seasons sour. Sitting at 24-27 the Sox had righted the ship but were still climbing out of their early season hole. Fast forward to this morning and the Sox are 32-29 having laid waste to the left coasters in fairly ... Read More...Jose is Absurdly Correct but not Helpful

Related News: Sox Therapy: Righting The ShipAfter a nightmare of April and a pretty bad start to May the Sox righted the ship and finished the month (plus a day) with a 15-14 record. This is not exactly gangbusters but works out to an 84-78 pace which is fairly consistent with most expectations for the Sox. Of course the April issue puts them in a hole but after that dreadful month the overall record of 24-27 is still disappointing. A few quick notes; - The Sox have a 28-23 Pythagorean Record which would have them 5th in the AL. In ... Read More...Jose is Absurdly Correct but not Helpful

They have gone 5-3 over the last week and change and they have done so while playing five of those games against last season’s World Series combatants. After what can best be called a nightmare start the Sox are pulling it together. The offense has gotten hot scoring 46 runs in the 8 games and save for one memorable inning Tuesday night the pitching has been very good as well. The call ...
