We're in the playoffs. I don't really care if we get swept this weekend TBH. We've officially had a good year and it's house money imo. Yea, division be real nice, but that's desert imo. We already got the main course.

I've seen a lot more Sox hats around me this year. Even a couple T-Shirts which is much more rare as 90% of people I ask in a Sox hat just say they like the hat, not the team. You gotta like the team to rock the T-Shirts.

Yup. Nobody is saying oh we have a much better RD than Cle we should be at 86 wins not 83. In fact, I believe FG did a study that showed actual record becomes more predictive than Pythag by about 100 games into a season. You are what your record says you are.

16.4 fWAR improvement from the position players. Went from 3rd to last in 2025 to 5th best in 2026. And mostly on the backs of guys under 27. Really impressive from Getz and Will gets credit too for leading all the youngsters. We could have folded at numerous points in the 2nd half, never did.

So in addition to "Strokin" this is what the Sox played after Will's epic "popping bottles...lock in" speech: Just impeccable vibes. One of my favorite "get hyped" songs of all time.

He called a couple UM Hoops games last year and he was insufferable. We're in a massive B1G title race, big games, and you've got the Joker on play by play getting a lot of Michigan players' names wrong and s%*# in between his stand up routine.

The AL West has a -463 RD, that has to be a record.

7 over .500 with a +3 RD, can someone pull the horse shoe out of their ass?

We're one bad route away from being two games up too. God damnit.

Goodness. These are some bad ABs.

Yes I doubt it's encrypted. It's just radio waves and subject to interception. I bet some nerd figured it out.

17 innings in a row without an XBH for Boston. How is that even fucking possible at that band box?

stealing signs for 6 weeks until they probably figured they were about to get caught. I bet they had a way of getting into pitch com.

One of the more pathetic showings from an offense all year for Boston this week. Jerks.

JFC nice bunt.

leadoff man aboard!

FWIW boston fans seem pretty pissed off at their effort this week. maybe it will trickle down to the players. i still just think they were cheating for 6 weeks, that's my conspiracy theory.

Chase seems absolutely fine, looked like they were just getting him off his feet. Yea I was wondering about that. Looked like a nice gesture. He was probably out but yea.

the usual board suspects:

I want to know where @greg775 is right now.

Pham was a good clubhouse pickup against all odds and might help on the field too.

basically played .540 baseball since the first 20 games. helluva turnaround.

that mune interview was amazing.

YES. HELL YES!
