  1. I might actually think “we’ll be back again in a few years” could be this year.
  2. Furk. Got screwed by a call or two, but still deserved to lose if they have the lead in the 4th.
  3. Maybe put pressure on their 4th string LT or whatever

  5. The average Roadrunner at DKR is 5x louder than the average Longhorn. Complacency is a disease, and a “near miss” vs Bama isn’t the moral victory some thought it was.
  6. If they give Bijan less than 30 touches in the 2nd half, I’ll be moderately pissed.
  7. Lost the last NINE in a row at the Trop… a new record! The Sox are 18-39 vs the AL East this year. Cora and Bloom will (should) both be back next year. Bloom needs to step up his game big time this off-season. And they still need to sign Devers… the off-season can’t get here fast enough.
  8. Nice game to catch. Fuck the Yanks.
  9. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, yesterdays game vs the Orioles counts as a “series” somehow. It is the first “series” against an AL East team the Red Sox have won all year.
  10. Whoa, I missed the part about Sale breaking his OTHER wrist while riding a bike… yikes.
  11. As expected, Chris Sale is out for the year. At least September call ups are only a few weeks away. Might as well see if any AA or AAA prospects are worth a damn. Remember when they won 4 WS titles in 15 years? That was fun.
  12. Are we good again? Or do the Astros just suck?
  13. Soooooo… they trade away Jay Groome, one of their very few decent pitching prospects. Not as excited all of a sudden.
  14. Only took them three years to find a first baseman.
  15. Also would like to wish Christian Vázquez well in the months and years ahead. Drafted in 2008(!) out of Puerto Rico. Took him six(!) years until he made it to the bigs in 2014. Missed all of 2015 with TJ surgery. Grew into his own in 2017 and 2018 (when he got a RING — and the clinching HR to stave off the Yanks in the ALDS). Last three years has been out-fucking-standing. Best catcher we’ve seen since ‘Tek. He’s gonna get a nice 4-5 year deal in free agency and deserves every penny of it. Kinda hate that he’s going to the Astros for now, but he deserves another run. He’s a helluva lot better than Maldonado, although that doesn’t say much. He was a real one. Buena suerte, Christian. http://www.espn.com/video/clip/_/id/34330122
  16. Fuck it, let’s play ball. If Jarren Duran can look like a stud for a game, anyone can. Even Tommy Pham!
  17. The lineup tonight isn’t inspiring much confidence. Most of the Sox fans here have a glazed-donut look in the eyes. Either that or I’m already drunk.
  18. Christian Arroyo is the whole franchise.
  19. I’m going to the games tonight and tomorrow in Houston (as well as the one on Thursday in KC)… man, this was supposed to be a great time of the season. Oh well. There’s always next year?
  20. Odd timing: The Houston Astros are finalizing a deal to acquire catcher Christian Vázquez from the Boston Red Sox, sources tell ESPN. The Red Sox are playing in Houston tonight, so Vázquez presumably will just walk around the stadium to join his new teammates. And the Sox's sale begins.
  21. Wincowski (and the Sox) win! Good chance that was JD’s last home game at Fenway.
  22. Today, the Red Sox will try to avoid joining the 2022 Pirates and 1996 Tigers as the only teams in MLB history to go an entire calendar month without getting a win from a starting pitcher. Josh Winckowski is the only person who can prevent it.
  23. Ugh. Benny can’t play on the Yanks. His hair is too luxurious.
