2-4 from Houston and it will roll.

So Magic 8 Ball says . . . Loading Losing Streak

Three game win streak. Astros coming to town. This could be an interesting week.

Haven't used this in a long time.

If I was a raging alcoholic I'd think this series could be a momentum turner. Instead it's just a tease.

I had high hopes for Sosa.

I'll stretch it out. Cody out for the season. Nicky has played about a month. A year later and I think at this point AJ makes that trade a win for the good guys.

Sosa might be feeling lightheaded about now.

He makes Leury look like a MLB ready player.

I've tried to extinguish any hope or optimism. But I do have that get everyone back healthy, squeak into the playoffs, and have a deep run. It was also be a shining example of why expanded playoffs are a bad idea.

Hard to ignore that fact.

And if Tony didn't play him we would have thought Tony was even crazier than before.

Good time for a win streak.

Wow! I'm shocked. And somehow we're not leading the league in injuries.

This season needs another Disco Demolition Night

Not as easy to find a Leury replacement as I thought.

There was a time that I could watch a .500 Sox club and enjoy it. I don't know if I'll ever go back to that.

Sosa says hello.

Yeah, getting that many base runners is unreal.

Zzzz

I just can't watch today.

It's getting harder and harder for Tony to stay awake after 9 pm.

Easy project right up to the point of dropping the new base in and discovering the cabinet wasn't square. I had to pull out my tapering jig.

Ugh. Today's end of summer project - removing the floor from my kitchen sink cabinet and replacing it. Cheap ass particle board construction that warps with little moisture. Solid wood frames and doors. The base was the only place they used particle board. I'm ordering a leak proof under sink mat so hopefully I won't be doing this again.
