greg775 622 Report post Posted May 24 We'll be 11 games out if we lose tonight. 11 games and there's still a week to go in May. So once again, the kids just get out of school and we're out of the race. I'd laugh if I wasn't crying so much. "Wait til next year!!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

greg775 622 Report post Posted May 24 Glad Stoney didn't respond to that ridiculous Jason observation that the run differential vs. Houston is much better this year. Who cares? Our team is 11 out and it's not even June. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This seems like an odd time to go off against this year's version of the Sox, after possibly their most cromulent performance of the year last night and a good looking Giolito on the mound tonight 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jack Parkman 1,631 Report post Posted May 24 Holy shit when was the last time you saw Giolito throw 2 fastballs at 97 mph for a strike? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's all. Sox have trained me well to not look at the standings. I did and now I'm FURIOUS! I want to contend. ... I'll leave now to cool off.

Not sure what's more unlikely that he was literally the worst pitcher in baseball last year or that he now looks like one of the 20 best over the last month. Baseball, what a game.

pcq 259 Report post Posted May 24 2 hours ago, CaliSoxFanViaSWside said: This is on MLB network tonight. If you have a Roku TV and have cut the cord on pay TV you can still get MLB network on Roku on whats called Gade TV.It's also good because you can get hockey on CBC on it also. It's basically a foreign station broadcaster, How and why MLB network is on it I don't care . I'm just glad I found it. Do people actually cut the cord because they might entail unjustified risk for the size of the reward. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
