— Our Blogs and Nothing But Our Blogs Sox Therapy: Dave Dombrowski FiredI don’t have a lot to say on this at the late hour but the title kind of covers it and it deserves a thread. After four plus seasons, three division titles and 108 win season capped with a World Series title the Sox have let GM (I don’t care what his title was, that’s what he was) go. Eddie Romero (not that one) will take over for now. What the next step will be is obviously the big question. The first job of the next person will be to make Mookie Betts unspeakably rich. Beyond that the ... Read More...Jose Goes to Absurd Lengths for 50K

Sox Therapy: One Month to the PlayoffsWhy yes, with 28 games to go the defending World Series Champion Boston Red Sox are still playing baseball games and in fact they are playing baseball games that matter! The magic number to win a fourth consecutive AL East title is just 43! OK OK, I’m willing to concede that their division chances have probably dipped a shade below 50% (though a sweep against the Yankees next weekend and just make up another 11 1/2 games…) but the Wild Card is still doable. The 5 1/2 game deficit, while ... Read More...Jose Goes to Absurd Lengths for 50K

Related News: Hall of Merit: Most Meritorious Player: 1919 BallotFor 1919 each voter should rank the top 10 players from all leagues combined. Balloting is scheduled to close at 4pm EDT on 4 September 2019. 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 3 September 2019. Sox Therapy: A Little More AcceptableLet’s start with the obvious, the Boston Red Sox are almost certainly not making not making the playoffs in 2019. The hole is too deep and despite playing well since getting squashed in the Bronx they’ve gone 8-4 (with a suspended game looming) including a nice series win in Cleveland. With that said a team that looked in disarray two weeks ago suddenly is at least providing some encouragement. Chad Finn of the Boston Globe dropped a comparison to 2002 earlier this week. That is the ... Read More...Jose Goes to Absurd Lengths for 50K

Hall of Merit: Most Meritorious Player: 1919 DiscussionPlayers returned from the war. Sunday baseball starts in New York. Ray Caldwell gets hit by lightning and finishes the game anyway. The Giants and Phillies played a 51 minute 9 inning game. The White Sox threw the World Series to the Reds losing 5 games to 3 in a best of 9 contest. The Atlantic City Bacharach Giants defeated Hilldale 5 games to 4 in the “Colored Championship of the East”. The Detroit Stars and Chicago American Giants were the best teams in the West.

Sox Therapy: UnacceptableWell the good news is they aren’t dead yet but at this point pretending the 2019 Boston Red Sox are going to mount any kind of defense of their 2018 World Series title is a fool’s errand to say the least. The simple reality is the pitching has been a complete disaster and frankly it’s a bit of a shocker. From top to bottom they have underperformed and I can’t help but feel like this falls heavily on the shoulders of Alex Cora and management in general (both above and below him) for ...
