His passion shines through in this collection of commentary highlights on the Red Sox.
Nothing like Fenway on a warm summer's night, and no sports moment will ever rival the breaking of the Curse of the Bambino in 2004 and the unbounded joy that night of generations of New Englanders finally beating their pin-striped nemisis in the post-season.
Were neutrals pulling for the team that has never been to a World Series? The wait continues for the Mariners (the only team never to get to play in the Fall Classic).
"Can you believe it..." Joe's hung up his microphone now :(
"Baseball breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall all alone. You count on it, rely on it to buffer the passage of time, to keep the memory of sunshine and high skies alive, and then just when the days are all twilight, when you need it most, it stops."
Does the loan window also close tomorrow? Given a number of players have slipped out of the match-day squad, will they move out on loan? e.g. Bennie, Adamson
Edwards would clearly be an upgrade on Mbengue, but might not be required if JCS returns and Norrington Davies and Jimmy cover centre back if there are injuries.
Mbengue looks like one of those flawed but flamboyant players that are often beloved at Loftus Road.
If Mbengue is considered ahead of Cook, and we signed Ronnie, then Cook would struggle to make the match day squad.
GK position now seems to be about more than just making saves (or coming for crosses), it's playing the offensive quarterback role. It's been mentioned how playing the ball first-time makes all the difference in terms of moving the ball past the opposition - it looks like Walsh's touch needs work as not only does he need to take a multiple to control the ball, but his touch is often imperfect and the ball is not moved quickly or accurately enough. Furthermore, like an errant artillery, when going long his range seems to be off and the ball would rarely hit his intended target.
There must be statistics that would compare Nardi and Walsh both offensively and defensively?
Yale graduate, Theo Epstein was 29 when he took over as General Manager of the Red Sox. Won the World Series and beat the Yankees two years later. Give the guy a chance. It's not like the club was well run in the previous 25 years!
He wears a black headband, plays at the back da doo Ron Ron Ron, da doo Ron Ron Handsome Ronnie Edwards on the attack Da doo Ron Ron Ron, da doo Ron Ron!
