8 straight grounders for the Sox. Free Trayce!

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Aug 25, 2015 -> 02:20 AM) Why does the Cubs winning a World Series take away from your overall passion for baseball? And why over the last five or so seasons spent equal amounts of time watching Cubs baseball as you do the Sox? Again, I really want to know. I dislike watching NL baseball enough while having interest in the outcome. If I no longer worried about the outcome of NL games, it would result in less time spent watching games. For the record, I actually watch a lot less Cubs games live than I'm sure it seems. Majority of the games I just watch the highlights on mlb.com as it happens.

Why what

QUOTE (TheFutureIsNear @ Aug 25, 2015 -> 12:42 AM) Can we get Bassist back? Clearly better than shark Team that signs him should have to take Hahn.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Aug 25, 2015 -> 12:42 AM) Samardzija is such a f***ing bum. What a letdown he's been. Easily my least favorite player ever

QUOTE (farmteam @ Aug 24, 2015 -> 11:34 PM) Ballers finale was pretty boring. Yep, seemed like more of a pilot than a finale

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Aug 25, 2015 -> 12:32 AM) And it's almost shocking how some Sox fans (I'm looking at you, Fathom) are so "worried" about the Cubs seemingly every season, for no reason. What happens if they will it all this year? Next year? What is going to happen to your fandom? Can someone explain? If/when the Cubs win it all, it's going to take away a lot of the passion I have for baseball. Right now, really the only two things I care about during a season are the Sox winning and Cubs not winning. If the Cubs win it all, I can't even picture myself following the NL anymore. The Sox winning it in 2005 took away a significant amount of my worries of Cubs winning WS/Sox not winning WS during my life. I wouldn't mind not having to deal with the Cubs winning a WS though, as I think it would be a very bad day for the Sox organization in terms of future fans.

QUOTE (shipps @ Aug 24, 2015 -> 10:52 PM) I wish we were able to have that friendly banter. Although I will say its not bad all the time. There are some Cub fan's that I interact with that are cool and level headed about things and arent just looking to get a rise out of sox fans but those are the minority in my world. I mostly just ignore them though. Cubs fans have actually been less annoying than the Chicago media so far this year. The Cubs fans in the media have been horrible.

Surprised no one has said Samardzija

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 24, 2015 -> 08:45 PM) Watch them not hit any HRs on this road trip. Should've been routine fly to right but wind carried it out. Nice timing for them to face the Dodgers with LA playing their worst ball of the season.

Why would you let him beat you there? His swing is made for the wind blowing out. He's had some incredibly cheap homers in the last week.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 24, 2015 -> 07:53 PM) This game going as predicted. Softest triple I've ever seen is going to probably get the Cubs a 1-0 win as Kluber was dominating. Should it have been caught? With how much Kluber dominates righties, not sure why they even pitched to Rizzo with open base.

Finally someone pitches well against the Cubs, but Lester's pitching a game of course. Please keep winning StL and Pitt.

Rollins was awesome

Saladino is a good base runner, but he doesn't seem to get out of the box very quickly

How did no one get tossed on that strike 3? Wasn't even close

Petricka gives up far too many hits. Definitely isn't a set-up man

That was quick

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Aug 23, 2015 -> 10:19 PM) Closer brought in during the 7th inning??? Wilhelmsen to close?

Can't believe he let Danks start this inning

LaRoche!

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 23, 2015 -> 10:41 PM) I know it shouldn't but it does amaze me how many seem irritated when Danks pitches well,a nd love to go on and on about him when he is pitching poorly. He is a 5th starter. Look around the league. Not many of them are contending for a Cy Young. Way too long of a leash with him today given how awful he looked. For a team still trying to compete, just can't give up on a game by leaving him in to allow 7

Give some starts to Erik Johnson

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Aug 23, 2015 -> 10:06 PM) Sox dugout appears dead. Not much life in these dog days. Guys seem rather late to get on deck as well. Definitely a flat performance
