nice win by Price and the Sawx, Papi deep in his first game shows good signs and not a bad bullpen with Tazawa and Uehara handing it to Kimbrel, only 161 to go

I also read below that the Red Sox have given Pablo Sandoval's starting position to a guy on $550,000, Panda is getting $19 million.

as a Sawx supporter, that's great to see, previous times they would play payroll and not form and they'll just keep trotting Timmy out of the pen won't they????

It took me a while to work out why the seppos keep referring to their golf season starting and ending. Half the country is like this. And all of Canada I suspect

Here's the stuff about Panda:
A year ago, it was odd for Giants fans to see their team open without Pablo Sandoval at third base. Now they’re breathing a sigh of relief.
Sandoval, who is making $19 million a year in Boston, lost his starting job to someone named Travis Shaw, who is scheduled to make $550,000 this year.
Sandoval, who had the worst year of his career last season, came into camp out of shape, struggled defensively and has become the butt of bitter jokes in Boston.
The Red Sox are reported to be at wits’ end with Sandoval and might be trying to replicate the lesson that Bruce Bochy and Brian Sabean taught Sandoval
after the 2010 season. They benched him during the playoffs and gave him an ultimatum.
“Operation Panda” had some success: Sandoval got fit and was instrumental in the Giants’ next two World Series runs. But he will turn 30 this season.
It appears the Giants dodged a zeppelin when Sandoval turned down their offer in 2014.

Most of it.
Courses generally open in April in the Toronto area and most are closed at the start of October. I have started rounds in April, only to play a couple holes and had to quit due to the course being covered in snow.

We had a bad winter here in Brisbane last year. It was a Tuesday I think

It is worth bumping this thread to note that it is probably Alex Rodriguez's last game today, and it is being shown on ESPN right now.
For me, it is such a pity that his career achievements have an asterisk beside them, because he was a major part of the performance enhancing drugs era.
Putting that to the side, he was a top 10 all time player. If only...

Top 10 all time is a huge stretch for A-Roid.
Top 20, based on sheer numbers, I can accept.
The game has too many great for Alex to crack the top 10.

Getting a bit exciting now in most division races, last few weeks and I hate to say it but the Wankees are still a chance of post season if my Sawks don't get there would love to see the Cubs beat the hoodoo
