Tray, maybe Sam, and/or any of the other guys who aren't starting, will get in there later and do something cool!

Thank you, pcintel !!

Would love to see a decisive win today. Sounds like it's gonna be a hot one! Got to see Friday night's game in person. Although I can sure do without that traffic, it was really fun to experience the roar of the crowd in person (when good things happened)! A number of my family members were also there to support my great-nephew Sam. He managed a nice single, a stolen base, a hit-by-pitch, and a gapper double. It was unfortunate that the Astros managed to post an 8-spot in the 6th, but you'll have that. I commented on the nice crowd size, and the powerful roar it was capable of producing, and my son (who arranged our outing) recalled being at Sam's debut game back in mid-April, describing the crowd that day as so small that it was "like being at a high school game." So fun to see things trend in a good direction! Grateful for this brand new day! GO SOX!!!

Quoting my all-time favorite band, Chicago, "Listen, children, all is not lost, all is not lost, oh no!" Games like last night are going to happen. It's over, it's done, it's flushed. Thanking God for this brand new day! You know darn well these Sox are ready to get after it! ☺️

Two-term Missouri governor, then Attorney General under "Dubya." John has a pretty decent voice there! I had not seen this before! Thank you, Eddy! GO SOX!!

A big old flusheroo. Back at 'em tomorrow!

Flushed! Slate is clean, and a brand new day tomorrow!

Looks like we might be lookin' at a delay, chitown.

WBWSF, I'm not very good with this stuff, but could you just go to the Peacock main website (peacocktv.com), sign in to your account, and watch the game, on your computer or phone? I see that the Peacock site does have the game available on today's menu of games to choose from. I don't have a "smart TV", so I'm afraid I'm not going to be much more helpful than the above thoughts. Sorry!

Great win !!!

Crooked number time !!

Yeah, that was painful.

Well, so much for my predicted "offensive explosion." But there's still time!!!

Looks like it oughta start on time, Lip Man, although there is a pretty good chunk of green and yellow on the radar, moving toward the Cleveland area from the West. Hopefully it'll fizzle out before it gets there!

Thanks, Wegner. And of course, I could be full of it. But gotta try to keep those positive vibes goin' !!

Wegner, as a guitar player/singer, it reminds me of preparing a setlist for a gig, where you try to come up with a lineup of songs that has just the right balance of tempos, moods, etc., and you keep a few tunes in reserve that you can turn to if the situation seems right at some point. (Of course, as a 73-year old, my gigs are almost exclusively at retirement homes, so I'm probably over-thinking my setlists, but what the heck, I enjoy the process.) Somehow today's Sox lineup strikes me as having that really nice balance between power and finesse, with some solid guys in reserve if the situation eventually dictates.

2Deep, I think they're going to channel some controlled anger into an offensive explosion!

Brand new day! Let's get back out there and start reversing the fortunes of the last two days!

Yeah, Mighty Mite, I couldn't get a very good read on whether the coach green-lighted Chase there or not. But I'm sure some learning took place.

P.S. They offer a 7-day free trial, so if you should decide it's not for you, you can cancel before any charges are assessed to your credit card.

Hey WBWSF, this may or may not be helpful, but for what it's worth, I don't have a traditional TV-- just a Dell laptop computer, with U-Verse as my Wi-Fi, and I simply went to the CHSN website and signed up for their "Sox games only" option, for $19.99 per month (via credit card). And I'm happy as a lark watching every Sox game on my laptop. The picture quality is great, and the broadcast coverage very professional. You can cancel any time. Sure, watching on the laptop isn't up there with the big-screen experience, but I'm loving it!

BigHurt, I'm sure the guys have flushed that one, and are ready to fight hard this evening. Plenty of mistakes contributed to that loss, yet plenty of good things happened too. If nothing else, there are a lot of Sox players thinking, "I will learn from that, and improve going forward." Not such a horrible thing (although a win would've been so nice)!

Those free passes are an absolute killer.

Each time today that an outfielder is about to throw a just-caught fly into the stands, you can almost see them pausing and thinking, "Wait, that is 3 outs, right?"

Brand new day! ☺️
