South Side Fireworks Man

TA is probably at his peak value. If the Sox are out of it at the deadline, which it certainly looks like, they should try to trade him for an absolute haul while they still can. Sox aren't going anywhere over the next few years without a major infusion of talent anyway.

I'm glad Eloy wasn't too shy of the net there.

Let me savor the last glimmer of hope for the season.

Have a big day, Eloy.

The weather must be starting to warm up around GRF.

We're still alive, boys and girls!

If they lose today I wouldn't mind if they traded every single player on this 26 man roster. The only problem is that Rick Hahn would be the guy making the trades with the Sox scouts advising him. The Sox are in a no-win situation.

And they give it right back.

Yoan was 4 for 21 in July coming into today's game with three singles and one double. I wouldn't say his bat has been fine lately although I'll concede that is an improvement over his season average.

There we go!

It's extremely difficult to sweep a series in MLB. Or so I've been told.

Best thing I've seen this whole game.

Oh for crappin' out loud!

Tony should hook these players up with some PEDs. Maybe all his old connections retired or passed away.

He's special.

I was thinking the same thing when I saw him at the plate.

I think Tony is the reason Robert is becoming lazy. This organization doesn't develop players they ruin them.

Can we please get some outfielders on this roster?

Maybe if they played him at his natural 1B plus DH he would hold up better. He shouldn't be in the OF anyway.

Maybe that's why I like him. He just goes about his business. Also, I sympathize with the way he was rushed up to the big leagues and put at an unfamiliar position and yet has managed to produce (even though he's currently in a slump). He's handled everything well for being such a young player.

Yeah, he's been in a slump.

I'd add Josh and Vaughn to the likeable list.

There aren't very many likeable players on this team.

Anytime Tim wants to pull his head out of his ass is fine with me.

Oh great, Tim! Ugh!
