Leury was such a bargain this season at 1.5 million. Can you believe he was acquired in the Alex Rios deal? Is Leury's 2.2 WAR show he's the best value in baseball this particular season? If the Sox wanted to, they could hang onto Leury and go with Eloy and Robert and Rutherford and if Rutherford is a bust, just throw Leury in there. Leury in LF; and Eloy in right.

Some of you are acting very close minded. There's no reason to be this irritable over a harmless one-game gimmick. Walton shouldn't have been on a half-inning yesterday; he really gave up part of his schtick. He was on fire rambling about wild stuff regarding baseball and his love of the Big A, etc. He should have saved it for the broadcast. But Our team is so pathetic how can some of u guys be against this? It's something different in a horrificly dull season.

Eloy and Abreu did well also. Abreu back over .270. That would be cool if he could rally and hit .290.

You ain't kidding vile. To some, the grass is always greener with other players though.

Sox have the closer and setup guy. All they need for next year is Robert, Madrigal, 2 free agent starting pitchers and maybe a FA right fielder (or just let Leury continue his fine Sox career in OF). And maybe develop a third bullpen piece that is reliable as well. Just win baby.

Sox win.

OK

I wonder if that good looking girl is not that guy's date. There's a third wheel in the yellow there as well. Could be a family.

19 pitches LOL. Too many.

Goins with the Little League effort on that one.

Pretty good matchup here. 25 homers vs. Colome.

Semien is a very good MLB player.

One thing I've noticed about the Sox in games I've watched, if they do have a late lead they usually win. There aren't the bizarre choke jobs of the past 3-4 years. Ricky deserves some credit for that I would say. Colome is a pretty good closer but it's not like we've had amazing bullpens in the Ricky era. (I would'nt write this if this game meant anything; I don't think i'm going to jinx the win, but if the game mattered I wouldn't go there for jinx purposes).

Surprised McCann didn't hit that pitch.

She's above the N in wintrust.

Oakland thinks it can win if it is only down 3.

Leury is a good hitter. Glad he got to be a regular the last couple years.

Nice play by Tim, very nice IMO.

If he can stay healthy he should rattle off several all star game appearances in a row.

When the Sox get decent starting pitching they most often play a reasonably entertaining game, at least at The Cell.

That woman in the front row with the rich guy is good looking IMO.

Yes sir. Nice job on both accounts.

Glad we didn't bunt there up 2-0 even though he flied out.

Walton's getting paid I'm sure as a substitute announcer, so he'll be fine. He'll be somewhat wacky, of course, but Jason will tell him it's an MLB broadcast if Walton doesn't take it professionally. I will predict it will be a great broadcast.

Nice catch by Jay, very nice. The other day if u missed it I admitted I was wrong about him. He's not trash. He's a nice little player. Not sure we need him since we're still tanking, but he saved a game there; that scores 3.
