the sox are division champs. prove me wrong.

right. that said, putting "finger laceration," which is entirely unrelated to any of those facts, is just a bit galling at this point of the process.

this year with the injuries...my goodness.

maybe she can take a look at kopech, too.

I don’t care what they do. it’s sweet we set a standard that probably can’t be met. just a perfect convergence of things.

I’m no tlr fan, but he does have the benefit of talking to those guys to see how they feel. maybe guys said they wanted a day. /shrug

law degree reference! drink!

this team can be maddening at times but this season is a helluva lot of fun.

you can say that again.

it’s amazing so many bad moncada takes can fit on one message board.

other people's prospects are always to be feared. ours are to be doubted.

system rankings don't do much for me at this point. everyone acknowledged last year was a wash so i feel rankings will be more accurate after this year is complete. not that we'll have a great system, but i'd temper any analysis right now.

shut down, no. but i think he should be pushed back, skipped and perhaps miss some starts if possible. some combination of kopech, charlotte guys and maybe even a back-end starting pitcher acquisition could probably accomplish that.

to me it is all about the playoffs. if we win one or more playoff series, then yep, credit is due. if he gets us to the playoffs and we win nothing? well, ricky did that.

starting to feel like a late-afternoon somber rick hahn press conference kind of day.

their margin for error is so slim right now. yermin is disappearing and guys seem to be heading to the il on a daily basis. i'm sure that within this, guys like jose and ta are feeling extra pressure to carry the load and it just isn't happening. this team could use a break. all-star break can't come soon enough.

pirates!

but tatis hit a really long homer, tho.

i think they are fairly reflective of the sox fanbase as a whole. a collection of bittermen waiting for something to go wrong.

agreed. with that said, baseball's labor situation worries me quite a bit. i have some doubt there is a season next year but i hope i'm wrong. would be awful to piss away a year of opportunity in the middle of this window.

i have no idea what they are trying to do with crochet.

tlr pretty much white-flagged that second game.

lambert starting tomorrow and lynn on short rest wednesday, per tlr.

plesac follows franmil reyes to the il for the indians.

sox cleaned up in this divisional stretch. well freaking done.
