I’m not a big Dave Matthews Band fan, but I saw them last month at the Innings Fest in Tempe, and they were great. Great band - can play anything. Dave is a really good frontman. I saw them 25 years ago in Chicago, and they’re still getting it done.

That may be the smallest crowd I’ve seen at a Sox game. They should bring back the Covid cutouts.

Watching “Manhunt” on Apple. It’s about JWB killing Lincoln and the hunt for him after he ran from thw theater. Really good-except Patton Oswalt is seemingly plopped into the 1860s from modern day. He doesn’t even try to seem like he’s from that period.

Curb finale was bad. Not sure why LD would think basically repeating the Seinfeld finale was a good idea. Not sure which was worse.

It’s intentional so he can exit the box as awkwardly as possible.

This could be an auto-post after every at bat.

That’s what it should have been. Throwing 100mph (including one inside head high), and they continue with fastballs. Such a dumb team.

Sit down with Mark Grace for a few beers, and the two of you might share some additional time and space in Tent City.

Good thing. I was sick of seeing them. Also sick of the black jerseys. looks like batting practice gear. Our standard pinstripes are among the best unis in the league. If they’re going to wear a throwback, the Sox have so many better options.

If you told me in Spring Training 3 Sox players would be injured in the first 10 games, I would have guessed Eloy, Robert, and Moncada.

My level of disconnect with this team… I didn’t click on the article. It took me reading several posts to figure out who Hendrix was (and not due to the misspelling). Other than Jimi, the only Hendrix that came to mind way Kyle. And I couldn’t figure out why he’d be commenting on the Sox. Although, if he wants to, have at it. That said, I think Liam’s point isn’t necessarily about his personal situation (haven’t read article) but the overall atmosphere of cheapness that clouds the Reinsdorf franchises.

I’m positive we’re terrible.

This move makes no sense on the surface. There has to be more to the story.

I don’t trust you.

I’m seeing an upside down elephant.

Pretty cool. I don’t recall seeing something like this from Katz before.

Is that a diabetes joke?

It doesn’t help that she’s a truly unlikable player to watch. Cries about everything. Points fingers/acts out at teammates. Great player, but she acts like an ass

Ugh. It’s like a curse. I grabbed the eclipse shades while I was on the app. I may wear them while I watch.

I’ve often thought it would be a heck of a lot easier to just be a sports fan rather than a fan of particular teams. Root for the best story. It doesn’t help that I follow miserable franchises (Chicago and U of Ill). I was 11 in 1983 when the Sox were the first good Chicago team in my lifetime. When I was 10-12 years old in the early 80s, the Chicago teams were my primaries, but I always had other teams that I liked because my teams were so bad. I feel like I’d be happier if I had remained a sports polygamist.

Why would Cease sign with the Sox after his contract is up? All the things we don’t like about the Sox organization as fans are the same things the players have to put up with.

I’m not thrilled about the talent level of most of the acquisitions this winter, but it feels like all these scrap heap additions are being made with professionalism as a major part of their skill set. We had a bad mix last year for whatever reason - lacking leadership and cohesiveness. Hopefully this reset of the clubhouse culture leads to some positive results. Maybe we catch lightning in a bottle with a few and have some trade fodder at the deadline. Or, dare I say, actually compete. Must be spring training if I’m feeling any level of positivity.

Allen or McCaffrey should have been MVP. Congrats to Mongo on the HOF.

I followed mostly sports, too, but I’d be looking at something Bears related, and halfway through the comments there’d be an “influencer” asking what people thought of her “end zone.” It was a nice surprise sometimes, but that type of stuff started showing up too much.

Does 17 refer to the number of paragraphs in a typical Caulfield post?
