Unless the Red Sox sign JD Martinez, they’re going to finish a lot closer to 3rd place than they are going to catch the Yankees.

I mean, unless those starting pitchers all start 30+ games apiece to the tune of sub 3.5 ERAs.

I get a kick out of how Chris_L only shows up in this thread.

The Indianapolis Colts announced that they are adding slugger JD Martinez to their coaching staff. The press conference is scheduled for tomorrow.

I'm going to use this thread to announce my heavy skepticism about the 2018 Yankees. If you list out the full lineup + rotation and then have to individually bet over/under performance versus last year, the only ones I'd feel any level of confidence taking the over on are Bird, the Yankee version of Gray and maybe Tanaka with a health caveat. Everyone else ranges somewhere between "may have peaked" to "seems about right".

He did show up somewhere else, and I was like, "this mf'er has been around FOREVER and has a decent amount of posts, how have I never seen him." Then I looked at his post history and got a good laugh.

In heaven Ted Williams explains to John Glenn why the Red Sox and not the Cleveland Indians are the team to beat in the AL this year. John Glenn just sits there and takes it because when it comes to baseball - everyone is Ted Williams' bitch.

It's a pretty entertaining read, if you want to re-visit the old story.

Red Sox magic number is now 148 which also happens to be the Dunbar Number the theoretical cognitive limit to the number of people with whom one can maintain stable social relationships (I would like to have a "social relationship with benefits" with the above)

The proper number of Twitter characters is also the Magic Number for the red hot 17-2 Red Sox.

Lick my balls people who use 280 characters on Twitter. Nobody wants to read your novel.
