How about those RED SOX!

I am really enjoying the ride this season.  I picked the team to earn the second Wild Card but considering all the major pitching injuries this is a definite surprise for me.  Ten games the next eleven days (seven with NYY, winning the first, sandwiched around three @TB).  A 7-3 record through that stretch could all but put the division away.  I still think there are several teams in the NL that are superior to the AL teams but I am starting to get excited about the pennant chances.

It's been fun cheering for a team that doesn't seem to know the word "quit".

 

Wow has it, especially after two years of teams that seemed to only know that word.

 

That last two nights have been more fun that the 20-4.  Wow.  Watching the Rays now, down 4-3, chance to extend farther.

 

Next eight we see two @NYY, three @TB, and three v. NYY.  Could all but put this thing away with a nice little 6-2 here.

    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
    • Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
