Bagent is now 6-0 attending Sox games this year.

Maybe I'm the oddball but why have expectations at all ? You have no power to change anything. Its not like its you 're kid who you raised with your partner so you have significant imput through your genes and parenting skills to have certain expectations. The Sox and any sports team does what it does regardless of if we rip each others throats out arguing about hopes and dreams or expectations for a better tomorrow. We align ourselves and get emotionally involved because we liked playing sports and enjoy competing and winning is so much fun and usually prevents us from finding more negative activities and winning unites us while losing divides us. Plenty of good things about sports and of course there's downsides too seeing as were humans and bad comes with everything good. I dont expect anything from any Chicago teams who I have enjoyed and kept loyal to despite not being a geographical Chicagoan for many years. I like sports but its a soap opera that is filled with constant disappointment.I just cant get wrapped up in the disappointments. I know I play no part in the story.I either chose to find pleasure in it and hope things provide good memories or chose to be bitter about the usual unhappy ending to most seasons. Having great or even moderate expectations of sucess will just make you judgemental of people you know very little about or judge them differently than others do which is why we rip each others throats out. If I enjoy the good parts of the story while the overall outcome is somewhat tragic well that just means sports is a refection of life. I can chose to look at it a lot of different ways. Some will put a bullet in their head and others despite knowing life is tragic just chose to have hope. And even though I may follow the team religiously I try very hard not to have that religious zealotness that makes people so self righteous or feel as if they play an important role in the story.

And here you go doing what you do best telling me how miserable I am . Im not at all. I pass out thanks and likes and yes even love emojis all the time to some of the best Sox fans in the world on this forum. I have fun here. I joke around . When I laugh its not laughing AT people it's laughing WITH them. However just judging by post count and youre status as a moderator I will allow you to have the last word on this matter . I know you cant resist.

How can I ever be noticed if you delete my posts ? This coming from the guy who had more posts than anyone ever in the history of Soxtalk . Do you feel under attack from 2 posters ? How many posts of yours have been deleted by me ? There are plenty of poster here who see you as a dictator run amok. You cant make me feel as if I'm alone . You have a small black heart and I pity you.

It goes back way farther than that .The whole history of the franchise is terrible, so yea, if you dont expect things to go south when the owners literally act like they don't ever belong in 1st place then you have your head up your arse. But that doesnt mean I should refuse to enjoy and not express that enjoyment. This is what being a sports fan is. Sure there's always a logical part of your mind that says bad historical franchise + the odds of even the best franchises in any sport of the seasons not ending in disappointment with a heartbreaking loss arent very good . Again thats what being a fan is .. constant disappointment. So if you want to always be sour about it I'd say you enjoy the pain and we all know how misery loves company. Some of us just choose not to be miserable. That does not mean we are delusional nor do we want to stop those who prefer to wallow in their misery from doing their wallowing. Knock yourselves out. You're the ones with moderator powers doing a lot more damage to this board because you get to say anything you want without repercussion. This isnt true for the ones who speak up on behalf of the non miserable other side. Why is it the darkness always wants to crush the light but they turn it around that the light and hope is at fault ?

My prediction before the game started 🔥

Maybe you didnt notice that the lecture thread just started was someone tired of posts about incremental steps foward which has to happen after you reach rock bottom. No one is throwing a party. It's just hey Im enjoying things more than last year. Maybe you want to segregate Soxtalk into Poohs and Eeyores sections where we all hang out with our own kind so the Eeyores in charge don't remove posts of the forward looking people or accuse them of gaslighting. I guaranteed the Jedi section would have more people starting game threads and rooting for victories while the Eeyores continue to ignore game threads like they have been. You know who you are. I'm sure there are people who consider themselves in the middle . Just remember if you're still here yelling fire Getz and Colson is a bum every day that youll be here jumping on the bandwagon once it starts gaining momentum. Sorry if some of you can't acknowledge the momentum has started already because the previous rebuild broke your wittle hearts.

I have a goal to get all 8 emoticons in one post . Little help guys.If you see one I don't have give it to me ! Thanks in advance 🤣and just to give this post some real substance, Tyson Bagent threw out the 1st pitch today !

Colson Montgomery last 28 games, 13 HR, 30 RBI.

Sox worked on his mechanics got him throwing more strikes. Stuff is plenty good enough .

That 2 great diving catches this game. He's pretty good on the ones in the LCF gap.

Tauchman GO 4-3. Vargas fly out RF. Teel fly out CF.

I know but overall hes a decent baserunner. I'll throw you a laugh emoji for your efforts. 😀

Benintendi pulls a single to right. Meidroth GO DP 6-4-3. Mead Pop out shallow LF.

Robert beautiful diving catch on a shallow pop to end the Twins half of the 3rd !

My take would've been 2 hits, 2 runs scored no matter how slow he is . Took 2nd on a wild pitch and scored from 2nd on a single and went 1st to 3rd on a single .

Mead Lineout to LF on 1st pitch . Tauchman single. Vargas, wild pitch Tauchman to 2nd . Vargas walks. Teel oppo RBI single scores Tauchman. 4-0 Robert bouncer to 3rd. Force out at 2nd,wild throw to 1st scores Vargas . 5-0 Colson Montgomery BOMB with Robert running !!! 7-0, 112 MPH. Quero pops out to 3rd.

Gomez on the edges of the strike zone 2nd inning . 3 Ks in a row going back to the 1st. Royce Lewis GO to 3rd.

Tauchman leadoff oppo single on 3-2 count. Vargas single ,Tauchman to 3rd. Teel 3-2 count RBI single. 1-0 Vargas to 2nd. Robert groundball deflected on dive by 3rd basman to the SS who threw to 2nd to get an out call. Sox challenging. Call overturned. Goes for an infield hit now for Robert. Bases Loaded for Colson . 1st pitch shallow FO to right. Quero 3-0 pitch out of the zone called a strike. Quero 2 RBI single Vargas and Teel score 3-0.Robert to 2nd . Still just 1 out . Benintendi K on high fastball. Meidroth FO deep LCF on 1st pitch.

Easy Sox win today .
