How does one come up with words to describe the Red Sox and their season thus far? They are 15-2 and then have this to add on to the menu,

Quote:
They're 15-2 even though Dustin Pedroia, Xander Bogaerts and Drew Pomeranz are on the DL, J.D. Martinez is just starting to heat up, their catchers are hitting .212 without a home run, Andrew Benintendi hasn’t homered, and they blew a 4-0 lead in the eighth inning on Opening Day. Heck, they haven’t even played the Chicago White Sox, Detroit Tigers or Kansas City Royals yet.
Good grief.

Yeah the Red Sox are all kinds of good.

Hopefully the Yankees don't live up to expectations. Jays are clicking right now, but the Wild Cards are going to be hard to snag it looks like. Anaheim is also off to a strong start and Minnesota will be able to feast on 3 terrible teams most of the year in their division.

Also, I can't believe Votto is going to waste his whole entire career in that crappy organization with almost no chance at being competitive.

Scary and serious stuff. Danny Farquhar passed out in dugout Friday night because of a brain aneurysm. He remains hospitalized and is in stable but critical condition.

Who?

All kidding aside I was shocked to hear that he was able to get a no-no against the 17-2 Red Sox!

Actually Manaea is a player to keep your eye on. He's a good young pitcher. Wanted him in my season long fantasy.

I'm watching Nationals-Dodgers and it's incredible how dumb a manager Dave Martinez is.

Aldo they put Rendon on the 10-day DL after he already sat out for 9 games.

Mac Williamson's 464-foot HR in San Francisco tonight is the farthest by a right-handed hitter to the opposite side of the field (i.e. right of dead center) since #Statcast started tracking in 2015. #SFGiants

The 2 youngest players in the MLB homered today. And both are in the Braves lineup. When is the last time (if ever?) the two youngest players in MLB have homered in the same game?

With today’s win, Bartolo Colon has won a game for 11 different franchises.

Only three pitchers had ever done that (Mike Morgan, Ron Villone, LaTroy Hawkins).
