  1. Does this also mean Benintendi isn't going to the HOF this year?

    Oh, boo hoo hoo.

  2. How many ROY votes will Babe Benintendi receive? I'll bet it isn't zero!

  3. I penned a solemn tribute to our favorite team of destiny.

    (With apologies to Gordon Lightfoot, and "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald")

    “The Wreck of the Boston Red Sox”

    The legend lives on
    From the Bambino on down
    Of the team that folds like a patsy
    The Fens it said
    Always throws up its dead
    When the winds of November come early

    The Sox were the pride
    Of the MLB side
    With a team that was certain to win it
    A roster so sweet
    That they let the boys cheat
    And said scarcely a word ag’in it

    They had Sale on the mound
    And Price who would pound
    Any old man who dared to offend him
    And Porcello who
    You knew would come through
    And too many others to mention

    The outfield was young
    Their praises were sung
    Above all the Babe Benintendi
    They did a cute dance
    And around they would prance
    When the team it won so bigly

    They were handed the East
    Which was the least
    MLB could do for their story
    Then they’d run through the Stros
    And the bows and arrows
    And go straight to the Series and glory

    But Nuni’s knee gave
    Then their main Sale caved
    And the Olde Towne Team was hurtin’
    Then Pomeranz fell
    And Kimbrel went to hell
    And another big choke it was lurkin’

    Does any man know
    Where the love of God goes
    When the hits turn the innings to hours?
    Altuve went yard
    And Springer hit hard
    And Beltran finished with power

    They Sox they were smote
    It was all that she wrote
    And they tossed their poor skipper over
    And all that remains
    Are the faces and the names
    Of their fans now sullen and sober

    The Tribe and the Cubs
    Have both have had their flubs
    And even the Yankees have blown some
    But nobody chokes
    Like those Boston folks
    The all-time major-league krum-bum

    In a musty old park
    In the Boston dark
    They mourn their Sox as ever
    The church bell chimed
    And it rang twenty-five times
    For each man on the greatest team ever

    The legend lives on
    From the Bambino on down
    Of the team that folds like a patsy
    The Fens it said
    Always throws up its dead
    When the winds of November come early

  4. LBJ, he'll still get in this year. It just won't be unanimous.
