Guess we’ll have to settle for burying the Twins this week. I’ll take it. Get one team out of there and make it a two team race—that has value

Well well well.

Hoping to see Lynn keep gaining steam today. Let’s step in their necks early and don’t let up.

Yeah, you get ‘em! They should have won differently

I think a few of you are unfamiliar with the customs of a “winner thread.” Go whine in the game thread (and then use the same thread to explain why even though you were wrong you were really right, when you think about it)

We just need to keep winning to maximize the pressure to “not mess with a good thing.” I hope the FO understands the kind of fan revolt they’d be dealing with if Tony came back and the team went south. *Even if they don’t believe a slide could possibly be linked to Tony’s managing* they have to be sensitive to the optics there. It would just be so risky for them from a PR perspective.

You should post like this and ditch the boring trolling. Imo

The better they play the harder it will be for the FO to bring him back (if they’re inclined to do so). How bout let’s make it near-impossible?

I dunno. I’m a baseball purist so I just silk-screen my own Dodgers World Champion t-shirts every October 1 or so and turn off the TV for a few months. Forget the fluky performances of players in the biggest games of the year when the world is watching and the pressure’s on. Real champions are crowned in May!

I dunno, I feel like Tony’s grandmotherly, pear-shaped frame fills out that swaggy Southsider uni real nice

Um, no it wouldn’t. Um, that would be the greatest thing ever. This is the kind of thing I imagine overly-online, perspective-warped Soxtalk posters *thinking* but not actually saying out loud. Talk about “obtuse.”

Sox gonna put up more runs than pages in this game thread

What a great series win — on the road against the hottest team in baseball. Weird that with all the disappointments of this season the team seems to play better against quality opponents than they did last year.

Rick should just not pick up TLR's calls and text back after a few of them with "sorry, been crazy busy." That process should buy at least a couple weeks

I agree that we need to go 17-10...unless we need to go 20-7, or 8-9, or some other record to win the division. There have been so many arbitrary mini-season record "requirements" declared on this site and they've all blown up, as always. We're two games back with 27 to play. That can play out in a lot of different ways. I'm just taking it day by day.

Snapped Ms’ 7-game winning streak, and on the road. Now let’s give Cueto some run support for a change and take the series.

I just love our rotation this year in a way I haven’t in a long time. Just hope we get a chance to put it to playoff use.

God I hope so…if they bring him back and the team falls apart they will alienate the fans in a way they’ve never experienced.

Looks great! How do I get these different themes? Mine only shows the light/default available…

No rush

Whaaaaaaaaaat

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat

F the twins and their weird blonde fans

Nice W. Thread title change?

The only thing that gives me hope about tonight is that it looks nearly impossible that we'll win.
