I am glad they won tonight.

The ventilator was helpful for that last half inning.

The Cardiac Kids ain't got nothing on these guys (except a few wins)!

I need a history lesson!

Was it before the Red Sox won the World Series, on 10/28?

Was it when Cora indicated he might not go to the White House, on 11/1?

Was it when Cora declared that Benny was going to be batting lead off?

Inquiring minds want to know!

Your disingenuity seemed to indicate a timeline with some facts. I supplied them.

Still waiting for your criticisms of Cora's managerial perfromance in '18 and how it impacted the Sox performance.

Not a Cora fan

If he wins another title, I will change my tune.

Boone's winning this one

As you won't give examples of how Cora lost your confidence in '18, a year when his managerial decisions seem generally unimpeachable, one is left to conclude your animus towards Cora may be more personal or political than a legitimate critique of his professional performance.

I already responded re:  the politics of Cora.

That was in fact some icing on the cake.  But I was anti-Cora prior to this unpatriotic act.

Will you be repeating this many more times?

There's is no need for me to repeat a question you seem unable or unwilling to answer.

But in so doing you've confirmed my thesis that Cora's political feelings were at the cora (sic) of your animus.

LOL

Another Dodge.

And I figured you as a Chevy guy.

Your comment is fucking irrelevant.

I may have, and I probably did make some critical game comments, as there are (were) potentially several decisons within a game to question. But making a critical comment on a managerial decision does not encompass my feelings over whether Cora did a great or poor job in '18.

Keep on Dodging kid.

Actually you said "many on the other site" were calling for Cora's firing.

I assume that was SOSH.

Cora's weird maneuvers quite nearly put the KI-bosh on what was one of the great seasons in Red Sox history.  At the time you were not in his corner.

Kid's revving the Dodge again.

Kid to the best of my recollection the only big criticism of Cora came early this year (March-April 2019) as it related to Cora's approach to spring training., and the team looking unprepared in the first few weeks of the season.

I do not recall any serious criticisms of Cora managing last year., and have no recollections at all of posters calling for his firing this year.

I think you're either fabricating or misremembering.

Keep on Dodging (MADE IN THE USA!)

Celebrated too long, I guess.

I will log that in as a negative.

(Team in fact went out 6-13 and have since won 50 and lost 33, but they arent "surging")

This forum, pages 50-60 might shed some light.

LAST year, as I already noted.
