Sorry for the bad betting advice Buehrle and any others. I'm shocked we blew the lead. I smelled a DH sweep. All you can do is double up for game two and get your dough back. Sox win. ... I shall buy a beer or corned beef for any fan that took my bad advice in a game at the Cell this summer.

Peace out. Sorry for the bad call on the sweep. For what it's worth, it's Sox all over game two. W.

I'll get a beer with you any time my fellow Crusader.

OK guys. Once in a while greg has a strong premonition. I just have a feeling Sox win both games tomorrow if they are not rained out. It's partly law of averages (even though the law of averages might be erased when a team is this bad). There's no reason for us to win both except a.) The Sox as bad as they are have to win a few home games in 2024. b.) Law of averages says the Royals can't be that much better than the Sox in 7 games in a row. This is a pathetic Royals team.

So head to Vegas if u must. Greg guarantees a Sox sweep tomorrow. ... One thing is for sure. If the Sox get swept, it's not hyperbole to say Grifol must be fired on the spot. It's impossible to go 0-7 against a team in April. Sox because of the law of weird baseball averages take 2 tomorrow. Bank it baby.

f*** it, betting Greg's mortgage

Interesting. Wonder if WGN wants to start airing games again.

The CW? They are desperate for 2nd tier sporting rights and have been picking up all they can. Not sure how that would work on a local level though.

What is Grossman good at? 

He's been getting on base recently, which I guess is more than the rest of the team can say.

[4/15/24 - KC @ CWS, 7:40 PM Eastern]

Nastrini now 3rd on the team in WAR. I made that up but probably true.

Is this supposed to be serious? Is the Sox social media team just openly mocking Eloy? Pretty funny if so.

Getting anything for Bummer is a win. He fucking sucks.

Simple as this.

That's like being the prettiest crackhead in the whorehouse.  2 1/2 weeks into the season. Jesus.

I mean sure. It says a lot more about the rest of line-up. But the point is there are far far bigger problems. Sheets isn't one.

AV looks horrible getting blown away by 93 mph fastball. Can we also stop pretending that Gavin Sheets is the guy?

Sheets is far and away the best hitter on the team at this point.

So only 3 more times he can come up, that can't be right can it?

 

If so, why the f use one knowing he wasn't going to play 

I mean three is more than enough. He's not an AAAA pitcher at the end of the bullpen. If he's coming up, he's coming up. The limit of 5 call-ups has no meaning here.

[Moncada out 3-6 months, Colás recalled]

One of the biggest losers to ever play for the Sox, bested only by his contemporaries

 

[4/9 Sox @ Guardians 5:10PM CT]

Just want to reiterate Maldonado inexplicably carried two strike threes way outside the zone. Should have been 0 runs in.

Martin's framing today good lord

Nice frame Martin

i think they're suggesting that these 3 guys probably all train together, use the same training regimens, etc etc

That implies Eloy trains.

Just now, chitownsportsfan said:

Nah, f*** Grifol. Moncada should not have been playing. There's zero evidence this franchise knows how to prevent and treat injuries. Yes, Moncada and Eloy and Robert are injury prone, but it's also true that our training staff is trash tier and the manager is a baseball terrorist.

Running to 1st base!

Just now, chitownsportsfan said:

he just tore his abductor because our moronic manager let him play with an injury. that's not on the athlete, that's on the manager.

Lol these guys can't run to first base. That's not on the manager. They are getting hurt whether they're fully healed, well-rested, whatever. Who cares? You may as well play them and get the "most" out of them when the inevitable is the inevitable. 

[4/9 Sox @ Guardians 5:10PM CT]

Lmao. At what point do the players feel embarrassed by hurting themselves running to first?

Saw this on X. Grifol is a dead man walking if this is true.

 

Well I don't doubt this is what happened, Joe Cowley has no clue.

[Worst starts...]

Well no, I don't think the worst ten game start is in reach.

Night 2 one of the greatest wrestlemanias ever

[**World Soxtalk Championship Wrestling Thread VI**]

Well the first 45 minutes of night 2 were awesome.
