I'd love to see it. I wonder who might be available that a) makes sense for the Sox, and b) the Sox could actually acquire.

Even over the next week or so we may see some teams tip more toward selling than they had been recently (Cubs and Twins to name two). There will be some pretty interesting players available and several that make perfect sense for the Sox. I don't imagine we'll see any blockbusters involving the Sox. Maybe Escobar, some relatively unexciting OF help, and a reliever.

Looking back, it's hilarious how Donaldson pimped his home run only to see his team implode and get destroyed. Also, his next at bat ended with a comically bad sword (and one of the loudest cheers from the fans of the game). It was like a WWE storyline where the heel gets the better of the good guy over and over until he's soundly defeated at Wrestlemania.

Nice sword.

That was a limp-dick offensive inning.

Just a bad pitch to a good hitter. Of course Donaldson’s pimping may result in a plunking.

What the hell could he say?

I wouldn't be upset with $80 - $100, considering we'd each have a drink or two.

Reaching out to the Soxtalk community for food advice, because the only things we like as much as the Sox are food and alcohol. My wife and I will be spending the day in Chicago in September (no kids, yay!), and I'm looking for some ideas for dinner. Looking for a spot within 30 minutes walking from LaSalle St. station. Casual, awesome food (would love a good burger), big beer selection, and maybe interesting cocktails. No dietary restrictions. Just want to spoil ourselves. Thanks!

I don't know if there's a more unlikeable player in baseball than Donaldson. He always seems to have some smart ass thing to say or some dumbass gesture he has to make. Remember the whistle-blowing imitation a few years ago? Getting thrown out of a game for showing up the umpire after hitting a home run? Just being an ass at all times. He seems like a "me first" guy rather than being an ass for his team.

Wonder if something is bothering Maeda.

Burger, no way. Collins...still probably not.

Looks like Bob may have gotten one right. But, as it's been mentioned before, this might have been a purposeful leak. Regardless, he'd be a nice addition, especially provided there are more moves made.

Is it more likely he becomes an asset to trade?

Finally lots of runs!

Looked like a Leury swing.

Easily.

What the fuck was that?

In Charlotte.

Woah. A hit.

2-0 meatball. No thanks, I’ll swing at shit later in the at bat.

Jesus Christ.

Crochet needs a trip to Charlotte along with Mercedes…and a few others.

Holy shit this ump sucks.

And rightfully so.
