Sox Therapy: Just Say NoWith the World Series in full swing the Boston Red Sox (who will not win their fifth title despite losing the fewest games in a single season in franchise history) are searching for a new manager. Reports from all manners of places have had them interviewing Pirates coach Don Kelly, Diamondbacks bench coach Luis Urueta (oh to hear Remy pronounce that), possibly Dodger coach George Lombard, Cub coach Will Venable and possibly others. Of course, all of these interviews come while the elephant ... Read More...Jose Needs an Absurd Ukulele Concert

Sox Therapy: The Perfect Post-Season - World SeriesWell, we reach the end of our series. I hope you’ve enjoyed it. With no baseball during the first four months of the season and then the Sox playing “baseball” for two months a little look back at some fun seemed like a good exercise. The timing of this ending is fitting as my youth baseball coaching for this year will also be ending this week. I guess it’s time to move on. A few random comments; - I only go back as far as 1986 here. No 1975. I was five years old so while I’ve seen the ... Read More...Jose Needs an Absurd Ukulele Concert

Related News: Sox Therapy: The Perfect Post-Season: ALCSAfter sweeping all five games of the perfect Division Series the Sox go out and sweep all seven games in our perfect ALCS as well. ALCS Game 1 - 2003 - Sox 5 at Yankees 2 - I’ll always believe the Sox were the better team in 2003. Entering this series I was sky high with confidence and game one did nothing to diminish that. Homers from Ortiz, Ramirez (as part of a four hit day) and Todd Walker ringing one off the foul pole chased Mike Mussina. Tim Wakefield dominated the Yanks not getting ...

Gonfalon Cubs: Cubs Postseason ThoughtsNo real surprises with the WC round roster - 3rd catcher so Caratini/Contreras can DH. A little surprised Underwood didn’t make the pen since he’s been better lately, but Ross only used him in mop up type situations for the most part. Any thoughts go here.

Related News: Sox Therapy: The Perfect Post-SeasonThe postseason begins and the Sox look to come out strong in the Division Series. One of the great things about the last 40 years of Boston Red Sox baseball is the number of memorable games that are available to us with a good outcome. One thing I realized is that the Sox have at least one win in every possible postseason game with the exception of game 7 of the World Series. ALDS Game 1 - 1998 - Sox 11 at Indians 3 - There are moments when you know you’ve picked the right job. My boss ... Read More...Jose Needs an Absurd Ukulele Concert

For these purposes I’m going with the 26 man roster that the 2020 season was supposed to feature. Obviously depending on what happens with the plague and the whole world coming to an end thing may change this but we gotta start somewhere. Starters in bold. Infield: Bobby Dalbec, Xander Bogaerts, Rafael Devers, Tzu-Wei Lin, Christian Arroyo, Michael Chavis ...Read More...Jose Needs an Absurd Ukulele Concert
