Great game last night. It should be noted the supposedly racist and hateful Boston fans gave an opposing player a standing ovation for an amazing catch, in a game the Sox were losing at the time.

didn't somebody just rob Aaron Judge the same way at Fenway a week or so back after the All-Star game? what is your opinion on 'Mickey Mouse' parks like this - i.e. they've got a wall the size of the Twin Towers on one side and then a wall on the other up to your chest and it's proportioned like the 'Maze' in The Shining. Doesn't Houston have this ridiculous ramp in center field where people have gotten injured - what is the carnival and circus? Sometimes I miss me some old school ball at the Vet - just a giant mausoleum made of concrete - it wasn't pretty - but it wasn't 'bush league' either where as an outfielder you're trying to decipher what's your best move - your health or laying everything on the line for your team jumping over fences and running up ramps backwards at a ridiculous pace. |

Fenway is as old school as it gets for major league parks. Plenty of fields have odd dimensions or features, hell Wrigley has ivy the ball can get lost in. There's a big difference between that and the idiocy of the field in Houston. By the way, every outfielder is risking injury when they chase a long fly to the wall in any park. That's why there's a warning track. Running full steam into a wall isn't any safer than tumbling into the bullpen. |

Wrigley was 2nd on my mind since I brought up Fenway - there's some viscous youtube clips out there of outfielders running into the brick wall. Were Fenway's dimensions ever explained to anybody? Agree - iconic and epic - on the bucket list - need to get there one day - but how come the dimensions aren't just an 'oval' so to speak all the way around with the wall the same height - and I love the Big Green Monster - again it's iconic - but I need me some backstory. there's got to be a story behind the build - (yeah - i know i can google it - one more thing on 'the list') hell - if I was a center fielder signing there - i'd work that into my contract - extra mil for risking my health in this carnival like stadium |

I wish the Tigers never traded him. You need a fast black guy to play center field.
