I still have a Grandal bobblehead. Thinking of the best way to destroy it, any ideas?
Throw it something off speed.

They’ve played about as badly as can be imagined, and they’re only 2 games back in the division and 2.5 out of the wild card.
TLR was napping for the first 100 games. “It’s go time.”

Making contact with the umpire and getting multiple game suspensions while trying to compete is the exact opposite of giving a fuck. It’s hurting the team around you because you care about the tantrum more than the team.
After he serves a 3 game suspension, he’ll come back, play one game, and take a day off to rest his legs. This season sucks.

Arkush was saying that he's not a lock to make the 53 man.
It's Hub, so TIFWIW.

What could they possibly get for Hub?-

Part of the problem is that our starters rarely go more than 6 innings.
Another issue is every guy in the bullpen seems to pitch one inning every game, so nobody is ever fresh. Makes no sense that a guy will have a 12 pitch inning, but the Sox brain trust doesn’t think he can go another inning or at least get a few more outs. Every game is a starter going no more than 5 or 6 innings, and 3 or 4 relievers have to be perfect every day.

W 99 just like 1983 and 2005
I wasn’t sure if he’d be able to make up the one game difference with all the leg injuries, but you’ve talked me into it. 99 wins it is.

‘83 Sox were 49-47 at the 96 game mark. TLR’s got this team at 48-48 - only one game off that pace.
It’s all working out according to his master plan. 98 win season is all but assured. -
The Sox have never paid anyone $75M. What would make people think they’d commit to paying Soto the $500M+ he’s looking to be paid?

Every other team in the MLB CRUSHES 91-92 mph fastballs. This team swings through them. It's fucking insane. Seriously, what gives? They are like high school kids, blown away by 90 mph.
He must be deceptive because everyone is late. Even the hits have been opposite field.

“Grand swing” is such a bad call.
Back on topic, hopefully this is nothing serious and passes quickly - like at the end of this 10 day DL stint.

Another one will stop by my place of business just to shoot the shit…Am I the only one who deals w this? I feel bad always telling them I have to get back to work.
I have a similar issue with people I work with who don’t know when to end a conversation, or get triggered to start on a new topic when it should be pretty clear that I’m either very busy, not interested, or what they’re talking about has nothing to do with me/my work.
One girl will walk up to my desk, see I’m on a teleconference, and still start talking to me. Even if I say, “I’m in a meeting”, she’ll acknowledge but plow ahead with whatever she was going to say.

Every so often, someone posts a Sox memory that includes Terry Bevington, and I seriously think I’d rather have him than TLR.

Riordan is no longer my go to guy for Sox news. You’ve been promoted. Congrats.

im going to get a lot of hate and might lose the little reputation i have on this site, but i like hotdogs with ketchup on them.
Me too. Seriously, why would someone even care about this.

Did TLR make it through the week?

If you give up 5 runs in an inning, does the ump even bother checking if you were using the sticky stuff?

Is anyone watching this TLR press conference? He does not sound or look good...
Quick, name the last time he sounded or looked good.

I’m seeing a slimmed down Prop Joe from The Wire when Ramirez is up.

Finally got gas for less than $5 today. $4.99 at my local Shell minus $0.25 per gallon with my TMobile Tuesday reward.
$4.74 - they’re practically giving it away now.

Someone want to explain why when I try to pour coffee from the pot to my cup, and I do it over my counter, some always dribbles down the pot and spills? If I remember I have this infuriating problem and pour into the cup and do it over my sink, not a drop spills. I don’t get it.
Think Hank Green would look into it?

Lopez has to get another inning right?
Lopez has the ability to go multiple innings. If he has an easy inning, he should get another. It saves the bullpen for the next game/series.
I’m continually stunned with TLR’s pen mismanagement. Expecting four guys to pitch perfectly every game is dumb. He and Duncan basically invented modern bullpen usage, but he seems to have forgotten it all.

About to be 5 GB. Just insane Sox actually somehow still have a pulse.
The division is bad. There are plenty of games left. The Sox have lots of talent.
If they stay healthy, no reason to think they can’t make the playoffs. If they make the playoffs, no reason to think they can’t win a series or two or three.
Also, no reason to think any of that happens.

The only difference between when you grew up and now is that we didn't have the internet showing us every single story happening 24/7. Kidnappings, shootings and stabbings happened plenty back then. You just didn't hear about them as much.
Also, news stories weren’t aggregated to individuals based on the last thing they read, and the thing before that, and…

This did not save the season by no means, need to win at minimum 8 of the next 10, until we get into 2nd place. 11 games left before the AllStar Break. Must win a minimum of 7
It’ll be hard to win 8 of 10 if they only win 7 of 11. Not impossible with a HOF baseball person at the helm, but it will take some lucky breaks.

I’m not sure why you’re asking, but the answer is a resounding “Yes!” when it comes to his on-air and Twitter personas. Total d-bag.
