I’ve tried to document the Red Sox perplexing roster moves since 2018 that @CanfieldEli often calls the “Prism of Sadness”

Please tell me if I missed anything significant!

@Tucker10Andrews Peterka could probably go yard at Yankee Stadium and give us the elusive third out in the fifth.

I don’t even think I can write a tweet for how annoying that entire sequence was for the Red Sox.

11 years ago today, September 27, 2015, Melrose, Mass native Don Orsillo called his final game at Fenway Park, closing a 12‑season run that helped define the modern sports broadcast era in Boston. Fans and players saluted him that day.

During the Blitz, our British friends had Churchill—“We will never, ever, surrender!”—Americans of the 21st Century had this moment. Complete mastery of oration in a time of crisis.

7.2 will be a steal in 2030 when he’s still in his prime. Great glue guy for this new core as well.

#NHLBruins signed Fraser Minten to a seven-year, $50.4 million extension with a $7.2 million AAV. Deal runs through 2033-34.

I like his challenge…to name a few of the dozens more:

Louis Armstrong - New Orleans
Edward Lawrence Logan - Boston
Fiorello LaGuardia - NYC
Edward “Butch” O’Hare - Chicago

The Dolly Parton International Airport in Nashville is the fifth to be named after a non president.

Can you name the other four?

The answer is in the replies.

Fenway should be hosting the 100th ASG in 2030. That’s the only answer to this ridiculous scenario that Steve has described.

[Steve Perrault @Steve_Perrault]

The Red Sox, Rays, A’s, Blue Jays and Orioles are now the only MLB teams this century that have not hosted the All-Star Game or been scheduled to host it.

Cross off the Rays and A’s for obvious reasons, then rumors of the Blue Jays and Orioles as the hosts for 2029 and 2030, and that leaves us with just the Sox.

Extremely silly that Fenway hasn’t hosted the ASG again after putting on such an incredible show in 1999.

“Do you want a new set of parents?”
Wild. I remember refreshing until I got QB every time.

[AuxGod @AuxGod_]

that “Madden 06” superstar mode where choosing your parents DNA determined what position you played was peak gaming (2005)

[Will Hyland @willhyland]

My first ever Red Sox game. Absolutely electric. Also @TheRealJPap58’s big-league debut.

No matter what happens next, this has been special. But beyond cherishing the wins, there’s one thing left to say:

Buy Buy Buy!

The Red Sox are so back

Why is the Canadian smoke now just a thing in the last couple of years? You're telling me there were never fires before in Canada that caused the smoke to filter down to the states? I was outside all the time as kid & teenager, I don't remember one summer when we had bad air.

[Will Hyland @willhyland]

@Return2RFK I didn’t know that.
Great news. That means 2030 is simple. Fenway or Bust.

[Will Hyland @willhyland]

The 100th MLB All Star Game in 2030 must be at Fenway or Wrigley. Non-negotiable.
