Biden said something yesterday about going door to door in neighborhoods offering the vaccine. I would imagine there will be some wild scenes unfolding on porches where they try that. People are making up their own minds. Not many people are going to let the door to door medical personnel jab them.

I sure thought the mom said Johnson and Johnson.

To show that I am an honest person, I saw that interview on a two or three part tic tock. I don't think all those videos are fake are they? The kid was in the hospital and they wouldn't use a kid as a prop. That has to be illegal. Don't ban me for being honest. If I shouldn't cite tic toc videos I won't any more. I'll look for it on youtube and post link if I can find it. I betcha it appeared elsewhere if it was on there. For question2: Without getting specific I group scientists and politicians together cause I have certain scientists and politicians in mind who I feel are bad peeps. I don't want to name them and cause a big fight and probably get banned. Suffice it to say I have some people in mind so I just say scientists and politicians. 3.) You folks will be happy over the holiday I watched the entire first season of Jason Sudeikis Ted Lasso and now I'm watching first season of TheMorning Show. Good stuff. And got me off cable. I was pleasantly surprised and actually proud of CNN on the 4th. I actually gave CNN a chance and even Don Lemon acted happy and patriotic and was proud of the USA during the entire show. He could have gotten negative and didn't. CNN had on bands like Chicago, Beach Boys and REO and Susanne Hoffs, quite a blast from past and fireworks shows all over the USA. They showed the flag over and over and I must admit I almost cried a few times. And believe it or not I was so proud of Biden's speech. He for the first time at least the first time I can recall acted very proud of the USA; he actually said the country was great finally and he even cited God. Then on the 5th the news got bad again, but on the 4th I was proud of CNN and Biden. Those are my answers. Why can't CNN and FOX play nice and be proud of America daily as they were on the 4th. The show and Biden's speech were beautiful.

I watched a video of a woman and her kid. The kid was healthy before the vaccine and now a physical mess after the vaccine, Johnson and Johnson. So I still think some people are not effing Stoopid, but scared. Understandably so they do not trust the scientists or politicians so they will not be vaccinated. Is that true 100,000 cases a day in England?? That seems insane. If that's true, won't England pretty much be in a total crisis soon? 100,000 new cases a day??

I have a bad feeling about the Grandal injury, so that means Collins must excel. Maybe he'll hit well off righties. Awful loss tonight but hey law of averages says you won't beat a team you dominate every night. Sox due for a loss to Minnie.

I know he had 3 hits in a game, what yesterday?, but I wish he'd relax and pound the mistake pitches. I still love Jose but hope he starts raking.

Is he taking too many pitches? This hitting coach must be stressing taking a lot of pitches.

You can't meet an opposing player in the parking lot. Hit him.

19 games per division team is ridiculous IMO. Sox this year are dominating Minnie, so look for the predictable brawl tonight.

Get ready. This game has big-time brawl written all over it. Donaldson will be going down and there will be suspensions. Hopefully nobody gets hurt. Remember this post during postgame chats about the game. p.s. If they have threats of storms, etc., maybe the brawl will be postponed a night, but it's coming. You don't do what Donaldson did and not get hit.

Gee whiz, another series with the Twins. Oh boy. Please baseball, get rid of the schedule in which teams play their own division so many times!! Why are people OK with this boredom? Sox could be playing more games vs. Milwaukee, Chicago, Cincinnati, St. Louis if they want to keep it regional and reduce the amount of games vs. these divisional teams. Drives me crazy.

Heard a lot of good things about Ted Lasso on Apple TV and this is a perfect weekend to binge watch a show. Since i like Sudeikis and actually saw him many years ago in Second City at the Las Vegas Flamingo before SNL, I bought apple TV membership. I wondered if anybody has seen the first season? I would give it a thumbs up. I'm torn right now between calling it just "darn good" or "life altering must see TV good." I have four episodes left in season one but I think I'd give it 4 out of 5 stars. I hear the final episode of season one is really good so we'll see if I think it's a 5 out of 5. Do u folks like the show?

You know, with the Sox having so many players capable of getting hot or not ... this might sound weird but I'm glad we have LaRussa here to sort it out. He is experienced and quite frankly will likely make the right decisions in the postseason. Again ... you've got Vaughn, Sheets, Collins, Burger, Sheets, Robert, Goodwin, Mendick, Engles of the world who could really be rotten or be great. I kinda trust Tony to figure it out. And the pitching! I trust him to figure out which of the many bodies are capable of getting hot vs. not thru the postseason.

This is only his age 25 season. Burger is 25. this is Rutherford's age 24 season. Sheets is right in that age group to emerge as a productive big leaguer if that's in his future.

Brett Phillips pitched tonight for the Rays and Toronto totally broke baseball's unwritten rules. Watch the inning. Toronto got one run and all the hitters were swinging so hard obviously trying to hit a home run. Bases were loaded at one point and the Jays were definitely trying to hit a grand slam up 11-1.

I was very against the Burger selection in the draft. Hope I'm wrong. I will be the first to acknowledge the 'eye test' on Burger is sensational. He looks like one of those guys who is "hitterish" as Hawk would say. I thought that of Yermin, too, however. Just seems like Burger is a natural hitter to at least make contact. And Sheets? He looks like a star in the making like a lefthanded Dale Murphy. Again .,. so did Yermin. We.Shall.See. I'd think Sheets, Burger and Vaughn could sell some tickets to go with Eloy, Robert, Timmy, Moncada and Abreu.

Stone was on fire tonight; what a great job as analyst. Are u folks sure they are broadcasting the games off TV? Damn I'd think that would be so difficult. Jason was right on top of all the exciting plays as if he were there.

Can't help but be excited after that game. Vaughn's catch and blast; Sheets just pounding that high fastball, my gosh; Burger two hits (yeah the one was weird); Only gave up two runs. Who'd have thought coming into the year that on July 2 the heroes would be Andrew Vaughn, Goodwin and Sheets to go with Lynn. WOW. Very happy for Vaughn and Sheets. Hopefully they'll keep it up. Cmon Sheets, Yermin did it for six weeks; stay hot.

That's a base hit by Burger in the old days. Shift got him. Easy DP.

As much as I like the hire of Tony, I am sad/mad at what happened to Yermin, culminating in his being demoted. It looked like he was a lock to be an all-star. He was going to be the story of the season. Then Tony has to lay into him after he whacks 'the homer' off the position player. Tony picked the wrong kid to light up. He's been pathetic ever since and Tony is not a dummy. Deep down he has to feel some regret in his possibly ruining a guy's season if not career. Yermin has been abysmal since the national dressing down of Yermin. That said ... good luck Mr. Burger. Hit some bombs, baby.

Yeah I must admit it infuriates me when ballplayers wont take the gift single.

Don't forget we've been on the board a long time. Paulie got love after Sox won the title. He was despised by many before. I took a lot of grief for loving Paulie. I was glad at the end people universally liked him. Check the threads before the title.

Oh i totally despised Rios. No doubt. I despised Dunn too I believe. I stood up for a lot of guys most notably Wise and Konerko.

What's going on at the U of I? Kofi Cockburn to the transfer portal. Isn't he a true beast? Hasn't Underwood had a lot of deflections? Too many for such a good team? Are Illini fans OK with Underwood or is he a problem? Or is it normal roster movement?

There have been so many and most mentioned in here. Has anyone mentioned Erstad? He stunk too. I've piled on several players in my time but also have stood up for some of those who were buried on here. Time flies and I forget some of my stronger stances. I know some of my most forceful posts were in defending guys like Garland and Wise.
