HOLY s%*#, VARGAS!

Dodgers got their ring, and Kopech contributed to that. Sox now get Vargas’ prime years, hopefully. Win-win.

Looked it up. June 12 - 25. Swept the 7-game road trip en route to an 11-3 record in 14 games against Cleveland and NY

I remember a stretch in 2000 when it was back-to-back on the road agains the Indians and Yankees to really test if that team was for real. Without looking it up, I think there was another set of home series against those two teams right after that for either a 12 or 14 game stretch. This reminds me of that stretch from 2000

I like Grichuk hitting for Beni here

At least we have Nishida leading off the 10th

Or maybe we’ve been too dumb to figure out those 2.5 miles the other way, judging by our attendance figures.

Sox attendance has historically been abysmal. So what is it about the current location that you think is driving this?

Ice skates are in play.

Let's just go for it. First over-the-water right field. Instead of grass, it's a glass floor in right field. Make outfielders choose between spikes and rubber sole shoes. Make it icy in cold weather. Or a right field that elevates into a foot bridge. Like that Houston CF hill, but on a larger scale. Any more bad ideas out there?

I like that after he missed the catch (understandable - was a tough play), he just sat there like he'd been traded to a 120-loss team or something. If you don't want fans heckling you, don't sulk like a 5-year-old in front of them.

Not in Charlotte, apparently?

This is clearly something that is having a positive morale impact on the team, this wizard thing. This is the sort of life that has been missing from this club since 2021.

Sox catcher delivering a dagger in Cubs’ hearts? Sounds familiar

New guy every day. Amazing

...and we still got Fedde back.

This is the piece that died off when TLR took over in 2021.

On cue… first AB the day after this thread was started? Base hit with RISP. No RBI, but a base hit nonetheless

We traded away cash considerations. Let that sink in.

Urban greenspace could be achieved by having a convertible stadium-adjacent ballyard that is slightly larger than the Fundamentals deck. On game days it gets gated off for paid admission only. On non-game days, it is an open greenspace that can complement neighboring / adjacent cafes and restaurants.

As is LibreOffice.

They seem like a LibreOffice or Google Slides operation to me.

Yonder Alonso would like a word.

Going with the portmanteau thing… Montykami Muragomery Col-taka

While the cynic in me is asking, "who's the 'they' in this scenario?," I hope so. He's a draw, and he's expanding our market.
