We have James Beard in our system, so there!

We’ve gotta finally make that happen this year. Playoff game… save me a seat.

The absurdity of it all.

Look out folks. Cleveland is going to be one whole game over .500 and will only be 9 back still. Shake in your boots.

@wsd - wad up G… you be lurkin

I don’t know why or when this “winning” a day became important or a thing.

He said he broke be because I was acting a fool. That’s all. ?

There’s a lot more than one game to have such a hopeful opinion.

Unfortunately Ron is mysteriously missing otherwise the three stooges would still be intact. ?

Always fun to bring about jest during an otherwise shitty game.

I could careless about such accolades. The like system being introduced on the board after a version update probably is the only feature that wasn’t beneficial. Soxtalk is still my favorite place on the Internet.

Your self depreciation has been the best post on our site today.

Yea… that 99.999% chance at winning the division sure seems bleak.

I will save my enthusiasm for when this team makes no obvious blunders during a game. With that said… Yay!

We went 7 - 7 during that tough stretch while playing some of the worst baseball we have all year. We also saw some classic highlights. 5 of the losses could have easily gone out way. Main take away points: - This starting rotation is the most reliable aspect of our team. - It is very important everyone gets healthy, stays healthy, and comes into the playoffs playing at the top of their game. - The bullpen has to get right, the bullpen has to get right, and the bullpen has to get right. As emotionally draining and difficult as many of the losses were, I think going .500 during that stretch would have been considered acceptable as a question posed two weeks ago. Looking at the forest through the trees, you can see a lot to hope on for this club. There certainly are a lot of trees to get stuck on though. Finally, did I mention we have to get the bullpen right?

If Kimbrel starts closing and Crochet gets the 8th, what are you doing with Hendricks?

Bachette ( however it’s spelled ) has such a violent swing it’s insane. Can we move Hendricks to the 8th now, please?

They’re also hitting like they knew what was coming last inning. I think Kopech may be tipping.

Was that Blue Jay’s dude speaking to the umpire in requesting his flower delivery address of preference?

Kirk running:

Steve Bartman?

Are we 8th inning protected yet?

Self reflection is important indeed.
