damn Pecko pitched a heckuva game in middle innings for Astros 1-1 TB Houston to the 8th

Adams now has a 3.38 era and really nice K totals as well or about half the ERA of Castillo for 1/50th the price

How much do you want to bet he will highly motivated to face the Sox those last three games...?

Chances to score that runner are around 60-65% right?

Toasted ravioli is much better garlic cheese toast

Houston 1 TB 1

maybe they can win by not playing lol...run out the clock Orioles are helping at least

Even then, top prospects like Bonemer and Cholowsky are not guaranteed to perform right off the bat... W.Jenkins .118 .533

lhp .179 .331 .368 .699

Have been playing months now without a ninth place hitter...

Feels like Mune Maria has come to a screeching halt...at the worst possible moment. 647 and 457 OPS numbers in August and September. https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/splits/_/id/4872595/munetaka-murakami Tied for tenth in mlb homers despite missing six + weeks....in terms of WAR value, pretty much at par now with his contract $$$. Okamoto has similar overall numbers...and he was supposed to be the much better "pure" hitter.

So basically 3 of your Top 5 ops guys are out....well, technically Grichuk is not a qualified hitter but nothing against him being there.

As long as they keep Levy Tran out of The Bear…although most also have mixed feelings about Amanda, too. (Guess they needed the Taylor Sheridan-esque eye candy for ratings.) Speaking of Shameless connections, Furious is really well done even if the conclusion of S1 wasn’t exactly hit out of the park.

Was in Colombia In July through November…that was the most relieved/excited for any “non in stadium” experience when Crede homered off Riske. Just felt like all the mounting pressure in the balloon evaporated with one swing.

The OnlyFans ratings were probably higher than that fourth quarter…

Easiest schedule to sixth hardest…10-7 feels more likely this year, or 9-8. Plus an abundance of close/r wins always evens out, like the Chiefs from 2024 to 2025.

But will you feel grateful/appreciative OR angry/frustrated/irritated?

The one thing statistics fail to capture is the vibe around the team this week…and around Luis Castillo outings in general, as well as Mune and Kolson. Don’t particularly like the comments from players about escaping from the high velo Pirates’ pitchers… But sure, strength of schedule, especially at the very end hosting the Rockies…might work in their favor, eventually.

Hold the presses… The 2026 MLB postseason begins on Tuesday, September 29, 2026. All four Game 1 matchups of the best-of-three Wild Card Series take place on this day. Why would the Sox be hosting when the sixth seed and being on the road feels much more likely as of today? Or that they’re falling to third seed behind Houston but still ahead of Cleveland somehow?

Where were all those interested constituents when it came to building anything resembling an entertainment village in the surrounding neighborhood? Oh, that got shot down by JR wanting to put all those dollars in his own pocket...even when it was just 2-3 neighborhood bars/pubs. And those damned parking lots...along with the railroad viaduct separating the ball park and surrounding neighborhoods into two distinct walled off fiefdoms...really it's three if you consider the Dan Ryan border.

With all the currently circulation clouds over Mune, Kolson and Vargas' extension interest/signability...?

Good luck with this one, WestEddy!

Sox will be 3-8 and Pirates 9-2 over the last 11

Have a game Cruz Cornering the market in his rookie cards is no consolation
