We beat you guys so many times, it's hard to keep track. lol.
Good pitching beats good hitting every time. Wanna buy a pitcher?
And retired without a ring. In fact he made the last out against the Yanks in the '78 playoff game. lmao.
Some interesting quotes.........
''We're eager to generate additional revenue,'' acknowledged Lucchino. ''We're not embarrassed to pursue various avenues to increase revenues. But we're being careful about defacing or changing the ambiance of Fenway.''
Sure. Great. But let's not stop with seats atop the Wall. Without defacing or changing the ambiance of the joint, there's still more we can do to suck additional dollars out of the sacred house of hardball:
Put luxury boxes on the Citgo sign. It's only a little farther away than the new seats on top of the Wall. ''Sit on Citgo'' kind of has a nice ring to it.
Sell seats in the observation deck of the Prudential Tower. It's a great view from way beyond right field and we could make a killing on the binocular concession.
Put a couple of new seats in the Red Sox dugout next to Grady Little. These would go for big bucks. Think how much fans would pay to gripe to Grady for nine innings.
Sell seats in the press box. The Globe/Times can make this happen, and for some fans ragging on the writers would be more fun than sitting next to Grady. A Globe columnist dunk tank no doubt would also be a big hit. For a fee, of course.
It's only a matter of time before the Sox install a hot tub alongside Pesky's Pole. The Arizona Diamondbacks have had success renting out their hot tub during games and fans in Fenway's tank could dive for home runs balls that splash into the water. It'll be a Fenway version of McCovey Cove, rented for $5,000 per game.
Sell tickets to a blimp section. Higher even than the Pru, blimps could carry a few well-heeled fans and we could put ads on the blimps. It's a two-for-one.
Why not allow high-rolling fans to purchase the right to sing the national anthem or throw out the first ball? It would make for the ultimate bar mitzvah or wedding gift - sort of like ''American Idol'' at Fenway.
Just how long has it been since the Sox won?

Where's my hanky? Talk about pathetic.
If you notice his left foot is practically touching the infield grass, meaning he is running out of the basepath. But I guess rules don't matter.
The sportswriters pick the MVP based on the contribution the player makes to his team during the series. Obviously they felt and rightly so that Richardson made a better contribution to the Yankees getting into the 7th game than Maz.
Sorry you lose.

The series went 7 games! .......
Richardson BA , OBP, ans SL
.367 .387 .667
Mazerowski
.320 .320 .640
Get over it. The sports writers picked the right guy.
Richardson batted 47 points higher.
You don't argue with a player who has the most Cy Young awards. Unless of course you're the Red Sox GM! Then you let him go to Toronto!
So I guess you'll bust a blood vessel when Rocket goes into the HoF as a Yankee! Make sure the Rescue squad is on hand that day!
Lets not talk about owners. The Red Sox have a few skeletons in their closet.
LOL, Speaking of losers! You reference 2 in one post!
Red Sox fans pass the whine down from generation to generation.
memory like an elephant!
That was a good year for Whine, 1918!
I think Soxie needs a glass of whine!
No but we may retire Zimmer's number. LOL. Wonder if he goes into the HoF as a Yankee just to stick it to ya!
The streak lives on that's why! Even that joke Pete (I never bet on baseball) Rose couldn't do it.
You're like a woman! Get over it already. The Yankees have 15 more years to screw the Red Sox before the jinx is over. Resign your self to that!
So it's okay to freeze Ted and try and bring him back as the reincarnation of Babe Ruth!
Now that is sick! But I guess you'll do anything to try and win.
They did lie! There is only one Evil Empire. And they are in control of the White House.
BTW the Sox's did a heck of a job in 1977!
They said they would try to win.

I think we should start a CBLH board.....
Haven't the Red Sox lied to you year after year......
You would think you would learn lesson. No wonder you have high BP.
I don't think so!
Don't they accept local certs?
So does Duke! I think irrational stupidity has finally gripped the market.
We start a rumor that the war is over and oil is $20 a barrel. Then go long to 1400.
Do the casinos take certs in exchange for chips? TIA
Buy HD. They sell duct tape.
Another apparent case. The only way to cure this disease is to divest yourself of your POS holdings and move on.
She's got zooitis. It comes from reading the RB PCBM board.
So much for that theory!
Geesh, you're not supposed to fall in love with stocks.
for better or for worse
Now i thought that was cute.

Or HD.
