    Gotta ask how you all feel about John Henry wanting to change the name of Yawkey Way to Ortiz Way simply because the Sox were the last team to integrate and they are afraid that the street name is offensive. I do not recall that name ever being cause for concern but maybe this has come up before, I have no idea.

    It's come up before. Mayor at the time didn't want to open up that can of worms. I really don't care if they change it. Henry is just pandering though. Offended is so in right now.

    Re: Boston Red Sox

    I agree, though I did not know it has come up before. I only found out because a buddy of mine who is a Sox fan called the other day asking what I thought of the idea - suffice to say he was not in favor. I am a history person even with sports so I am not sure what good it will do for the city or the team. In fact while I do not claim to be an expert on Tom Yawkey I have no idea what his views on race were. Frankly it (to me) is entirely possible that the reason the Sox were the last team to integrate is that they drafted badly in regards to blacks and simply had no one ready for the bigs until Green came up. Feel free to enlighten me on Yawkey because as I said, I do not know all that much about him.

    Well, I mean, yawkey was also a huge racist, was a shitty owner and was likely complicit in boys being raped by a clubhouse manager.

    So yeah, I'm all for the street name being changed.

    This isn't about the child abuse thing at all and they will never say it is because there are a few retired numbers of Sox legends that liked that guy just as much as the Yawkey's from what I have read.

    This is pandering to today's political climate.

    Totally agree that it's pandering right now. So maybe I'd rather them wait a while. But that doesn't really change the fact that it should've changed a long time ago.

    it's just a hilarious look for Henry. He says he's been haunted by Yawkey's past.. Funny timing to suggest renaming it.

    I really don't care either way though. If they're going to rename it, why not "Jimmy Fund way"?

    They should rename it Robert E. Lee way just to piss people off even more.

    I'm concerned at the lack of outrage in this thread. You know exactly what's going to happen? Farrell is going to pull a Showalter and get eliminated from the playoffs with Kimbrel on the bench in the 8th inning because Barnes/Hembree are his guys.

    No way. The reason he is making these mistakes now is for the playoffs. Starter/reed/smith/Kelly/kimbrel with maybe a situational like Scott/workman mixed in is essentially all we should see in the playoffs if the games go right.


    Reason last night sucks is because tonight fister goes and reed and kimbrel probably won't be needed again.

    It was pretty frustrating watching last nights game... seemed like the bullpen was pretty well set until recently. Manager John just keeps making the wrong decisions.

    The angry Lou thing is getting a little too scripted... but he's 100% right. Can't lose that game last night without getting your best pitchers in there. Especially with Fister going tonight.

    the situation they needed him in was the 8th. Goes back to Farrell not wanting to use his "closer" in the 8th because it's not traditional

    I usually like to point out Farrell's idiocy, Ricky points out how he thinks I'm wrong, goes back and forth for a while but ultimately nowhere. Just haven't gotten around to it yet with Farrell's list of things this week.

    Sounds like fake news.

    All I say is Farrell isn't getting fired. He makes mistakes like any other manager. He's a middle of the road MLB manager as far as I'm concerned but he's managing one of the best teams in baseball at the moment. Last night was brutal for him though. Worst night of the year probably.
