We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.
What This Means for You:
- If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
- If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
- Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.
In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server

Baseball needs to take a hard look at the Cap and modify it.
The NHL is a much more fair system.
Allows more parody when looking at the top 10 teams in each conference.
It forces teams to roster players at league minimum and spend their money wisely.

We are not supposed to discuss politics here, but I am not one for regulation, and Capitalism sure beats the alternatives. Anyway, I hope FSG does not get the Celtics. I anticipate it will be someone else, but FSG is possible as there is astoundingly no conflict of interest rule as thy have in the NFL.

In a weird way, I think Abreu is going to be one of the biggest indicators of success this year.
If he can provide something like:
.275 - 25 - 85 w/ a .770+ OPS
This has the chance to be a very potent lineup.
That would make my day if we sign Breggy today, we need his bat.
Let Campbell overwhelm us at Spring Training and force another move.
Still need a reliever.

Decent list but have not seen them connected to any of them. i fear they are satisfied with their bullpen.
MLB needs a hard cap like NHL, none of this luxury tax garbage.
I have zero issues with the Dodgers. None. Any big market fanbase shouldn't either. It's exactly who we want the Red Sox to be. John Henry used to act like the Dodgers. He used to care about winning. Players want to play for a top organization who cares about winning. If you want to swing players to your team start winning. More often than not the Dodgers DON'T win the WS. They have two in this long run they have been on.

Never in my life did I think CC Sabathia was going to the HoF.

I'm not necessarily opposed to Sabathia but why is he in if Luis Tiant and David Cone aren't?

CC Sabathia: 1st ballot HOFer
Johan Santana: Didn't even make it to a 2nd ballot
Make it make sense

Schilling beats CC Sabathia in every measurable outside of wins (because he spent his prime with the moribund Phillies) and CC's one Cy Young (Schill finished 2nd three times, blocked by peak Randy Johnson twice and Johan Santana once, while CC won in 07 despite Beckett and Lackey having better numbers).
Other than that, what makes CC first ballot and Schill on the outside looking in (other than being a turd sandwich of a human).

Statistically, Shilling should be in but his post career shenanigans cost him. Numbers can be there but if you piss off the voters, you aren't getting in.
CC shouldn't be first ballot and I'm not sure he should even be in and especially not before Louis Tiant (RIP).
Yes, I believe so and as much as he deserves to get ragged on, I don't think it was him who left Ichiro off the ballot.
2026 is a trash class so Beltran should get in and the Sox need to really push for Tiant to be in the HOF especially now with CC in.

CC is not a hall of fame player. Very good but not HOF. Don't torch me because I loved Luis Tiant but he isn't a HOF player either. Both were very good with some highlight years but not highlight careers. Also, first ballot for CC is just an icing joke on top of the cake.
Also, you put CC in but the likes of Tiant, Tommy John and Dennis Martinez are on the outside looking in...the HOF is a sham just like the Rock & Roll HOF.
