Well, I survived. Helped that I didn't drive so I couldn't get carjacked.

Have a game Josh

Only 4 LOB (3/4 in scoring position) in 4 innings so far. Cut him some slack

[Sox80 635]

Can Harrison just be done with the sox already!?

Can someone please walk me through the Harrison signing? He had a worse second half than Hernandez last year yet the GM gave him 5.5M. What was the thinking there? Was it "well he can't be that bad again" or "even if he sucks he's good in the clubhouse" or what?

Never made one bit of sense

Those tourist boats have to be the greatest racket in the world. They go by every 5 minutes of the day for 12 hours a day and they're all full. It's incredible

We had a great guide. Just amazing. There is a whole other city from that side.

The GM waited until the market had completely passed him by and left no options with a legitimate need.

If we pay him Garcia money people may think he's still good.

Let's not pretend he was shopping for guys like Story et al. 

[South Side Hit Men 2,663]

This game is going so fast, Moncada may be able to get to Tao by midnight for a night of dancing / clubbing.

[Spumoni 426]

Welp, the way this one is going I think that just iced it.

[Soxfest 802]

Why does everyone have their first everything against the Sox?

Obviously not.

Velocity just not there this inning

[Chick Mercedes 475]

It is still amazing that Tony has yet another coherent lineup that features a degree of consistency. What the fuck was wrong with him for dozens and dozens and dozens of game to this point that has changed?

And both Harrison and Cesar Hernandez have the same number of HRs this season, which is moreso peculiar from Cesar's perspective...

"The money will be spent."  It was, and atrociously.

Yeah something was weird with Cesar’s first half last year

Because Leury being hurt makes it easier for him to construct a lineup

Mickey Maid homer

would be nice if we'd consider taking advantage

I know it's fashionable to blame Hahn, but he has to work within the contract framework that Jerry will allow at any given time. 

IMO the blame is with ownership putting handcuffs on the FO, scouting dept and other areas that would help the team. 

If Jerry doesn't want to invest in sabes, advance scouts, long term deals, and in the international market then Hahn and Paddy are hamstrung by it. 

Hard to improve the team when ownership prohibits it.

He had a big surge in his HR/FB rate. He got a little lucky.

"Yeah he hit that ball pretty good that would have been an out in any other park."
