That's too bad. Love the current can -- have a fridge full of them.

I'm not a huge fan of the 83s, and think they should be trotted out only occasionally. But I absolutely hate the sleeveless "vests." I think they look trashy and scream early-2000s; the baseball uniform equivalent of boot-cut jeans, shiny shirts, and some kind of ridiculous yellow goggles perched on the forehead of a spiky-haired boy-bander.

We live in heady times indeed.

I just nerded out and checked it -- we had a 12-pager in one of the Orioles games. This was close ?

This season? I haven't seen one shorter.

Finally 22 over! Beautiful game. Short game thread. 14 pages--is that a record?

Don't care, but I'm in mourning for our Cub fan brethren. This kind of thing is what they live for.

When I opened the season schedule when it came out, I remember thinking "boy, if we can just get through August..."

Love it when a bullpen comes together.

We also beat them in Chicago.

I mean, I guess the Sox would be slight underdogs if the playoffs started in five minutes. I guess the Sox would have been "favorites" a week ago when they had a better record. We'll see where we are in a month.

God, I hope so. If Cease turns into 2005 Contreras down the stretch we'll probably win the World Series.

Boy that escalated...slowly?

Friend from Seattle told me Kelenic just successfully contested a parking ticket. BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE

Thanks. Huh, didn’t know that…but it does feel like we let up a little when we come home against the Cubbies.

I have always loved, and will always love, beating the Cubs.

Right, but why? Why is that number significant, as opposed to games won? Is it just that they have the same record on the north side and south side?

Regular season series is 70-64 Sox. Not sure what the 35-32 refers to…?

What was the story? Just the usual Cub/Sox stuff or was there any more to it?

There are at least 5 posters with an age over, and IQ under, 70 ready for a high five on that one

That was good of you. First!

Cub fan starting this game thread? Bad juju

Oops—forgot Red Sox (which is actually kind of telling). I would put them in exact same place as you did.
