All right man, will have to leave the board if I can't stop receiving emails whenever there is activity in here, I've changed every setting, but that doesn't work

Dirt to English translation: "First Yankees losing streak, I'm outta here and claiming it's because the website sucks"

[DirtDirtDirt]

Yeah the Mets are correcting

 

[Rock Strongo]

go to "alert preferences" at the top right, under your screen name.

uncheck the check boxes.

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

Dirt, go to "Browsing preferences," the top two dealies are this:

Automatically watch threads that you create or when you reply...

• and receive email notifications of replies

Uncheck that second one.

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

Thanks Hu

May be the only thing I didn't do

 

[Rock Strongo]

yeah i just figured it out. my bad.

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

No charge, Pallie.

You fixed up the SI Waterfront yet?

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

Think we talked about that Hu. That SI waterfront development is happening faster than I thought. One bedrooms already running 1600, you know what that usually means

 

[Cyder]

what a great start for boston!

2nd in baseball in runs scored with 108. Thats good right?

Well, theyve given up 118 runs...most in baseball...-9!

hanley has 9 homeruns, thats something i guess.

padres...poor hammer...so much hope going into the season, and everyones sexy pic...the nats...are awful.

Go banana!

Who woulda thought pitching would be a problem for the Sox? I mean except every Sox fan I know.

Is it too early to panic about Red Sox rotation? - Sports - The Boston Globe

Is it too early to panic about Red Sox rotation?

When does the evidence of a terrible start to the season transform from a small sample size to cause for alarm?

That’s the question the Red Sox face about the suspect state of their starting rotation, which arrived at Fenway Park on Monday armed with a 5.75 ERA, worst in the big leagues. The team is averaging 5⅓ innings per start this year, which ranks 24th in the majors, and has endured five outings in which its starter yielded six or more runs, the most in the majors.

It would be one thing if those struggles came when the team was awaiting the return of key starters from the disabled list, such as Tampa Bay. But that’s not the case. The five pitchers who have started for the Sox are the same five with whom the Sox constructed their 2015 blueprint.

Monday night’s game against the Blue Jays marked the fourth full cycle through the rotation, about 12 percent of the way through the season. Is that too small of a sample, or is that evidence that a roster weakness threatens to swallow the team’s postseason aspirations?

To manager John Farrell, it’s a bit early to reach any conclusions. That said, the time to do so isn’t that far off.

“To me, you’re probably into that 6-to-8 start [range] that gives you somewhat of a snapshot certainly of where you’ve been and maybe where you’re going,” Farrell said. “Hopefully by that time you’re north of 40 innings for a given starter in that eight-start period, that eight-start mark. That’s roughly 20 percent of the season. It starts to give you a little bit of a gauge of where things are.”

Hahaha. Is it too early? Sox fans should have been panicking about the rotation during spring training. When your decision on who will be the ace falls between Clay Buchholz and Rick Porcello, your pitching sucks balls.
