Colome's Hat

Cairo is legitimately someone who is being pegged as being a future manager. He might even be hired this offseason. They have in house option. I do think TLR's legacy here this time around depends on this October.

That was a bizarre inning. Maybe teh most bizarre inning I've seen in quite some time.

Is anything I said disputable? It's the best he's looked since that start against Oakland at home. Nowhere did I say he pitched great or even that good. Serviceable.

This is the best Dallas looked since his Oakland start. I'll take it.

Dude can't buy a strike

If they spend money in the offseason, they'll be a threat next year.

33-27 post ASB

Yoan trying to stretch that is so stupid. He could have gotten hurt and also cost us a run.

Terrific play by Cesar but that's why I want the Sox to score a bunch of runs and the rain to come back. Was holding my breath.

Good. I honestly don't want this going past 5. It's recipe for disaster in terms of guys getting hurt.

If the Sox put up a huge crooked number and it stays that way through 5, would this be an official game or would it be suspended?

Man, this is super ominous. Maybe it's just because I read The Mist but I fully expect something to be coming out of that mist in the fifth inning.

I don't know. Fegan kind of did a deep dive into Kimbrel's outings with the Sox. These runs have been on bizarre occurrences. The home run hit at Wrigley was not hit hard enough to be anything other than a routine fly ball. The ground ball in Toronto should never have even been a hit. Luis also misplayed that ball off the bat against Boston. Yeah it's a tough play but Luis is a gold glove outfielder. He needs to be able to make that. And the HBP last night and the ground ball. Part of me wonders if the Cubs overused him before he came to the Sox. He did look really good in his first two outings. He has looked good as well in Oakland and also that save in Toronto. I guess we will see in teh final week.

TBH, I kind of feel this way. Two wins in a row and fuck what the Tribe does.

Hmmm. Remind me where we clinched again that year? Was it........

Wright has actually been pretty effective in the role he has inhabited. I'm also not sure if they can send him down given his pending suspension.

This trade will be judged based on what Kimbrel does two weeks from now. Imagine if he had been lights out with us in August and september, and than stunk it up on October. If Kimbrel plays an integral part in going deep into October, it was worth it. I would make this trade every day of the week by the way. Heur is doing well but we would be shitting ourselves if we were counting on him to do something for us in the second half.

Trying to think if I want them to win tomorrow or Wednesday. If we clinch Wednesday, it would be the second clincher in a row that ReyLo started.

Just found out my new roommate's boyfriend is an Astros fan. She moves in October 1st. That first week will be..... interesting if he's around.

Wouldn't they do head to head records?

Can you let me, like, dream for a second?

If the Yankees and Red Sox aren't in, it wouldn't surprise me if Astros-Sox were primetime games.

Part of I think what people are forgetting about the Kimbrel trade is that it eases the strain on people like Bummer. I don't think it's a coincidence that Bummer and Crochet have pitched better since that trade. The pressure isn't there for them to be THE GUY. They just have to be key part of the bullpen.

My gut says Tuesday. Wednesday at the latest. I will say, Houston has struggled this year against under .500 teams and that Oakland series is no joke. I think there's still a solid chance we get home field in the first round.
