CUTCH! 3-3

I wish it were June 29 again. 50-50 with 62 left--I'm all in. 48-52, and losing ground to Min, Bal, and Tor, sell. 49-51? Stand pat, and hope.

Twins tied it 1-1, after 2

QUOTE (shysocks @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 12:33 PM) Feels super weird to be scoreboard watching, but holy **** here I am. I think it goes away for a while after the deadline, but right now, hell yeah!

Make that 7 HR

Kang homer 1-0, Buccos

Rays up on Tigers 1-0, bottom 6 Twins no score after 1

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 11:09 AM) I guess getting to .500 would be first on the to do list. It really is remarkable that they entered this road trip 42-50, and sonofab****, they might just come home 50-50 and in it for the duration.

I would feel so much better about the Sox chances knowing they went at least 6-4 the next 10. Unfortunately, they don't have that kind of time.

3 k's in two innings. 3 runs. Probably 3 innings next outing.

I'm kinda worried about trading in an attempt just to compete for a one-game road trip. If it's more about that AND adding for the 2016 team, then it would make more sense to buy now. Interesting times.

Not a good first inning.

Things still have to get better, or at least stay the same, for the Sox in the next 36 hours. If after tomorrow, it's: Min 54-47 Sox 48-52 ...and a couple other teams still ahead of the Sox with more favorable remaining schedules...I'd still trade Samardzija. I said a long time ago the Sox need to be at least 49-51 after 100. They still need to do that.

QUOTE (Mike F. @ Jul 28, 2015 -> 11:22 PM) His chances will be a lot better if the Sox can somehow make the playoffs. Well, he's got 13 starts left against some teams they need to beat... 7-30 at Bos 8-4 vs TB 8-10 vs LAA 8-16 vs Cubs 8-21 at Sea 8-26 vs Bos 9-1 at Min 9-6 at KC 9-11 vs Min 9-16 vs Oak 9-21 at Det 9-26 at NY 10-1 vs KC

Gray, Keuchel, Sale.

Suddenly the Sox and Rays have a big series against each other next week. Should be: Odorizzi vs Quintana Archer vs Sale Ramirez vs Rodon

Nice! This is gettin' good.

Ok, get three outs. No BS.

Cool. Perkins not a lockdown reliever these days.

Hurdle stuck with Watson way too long.

QUOTE (kapzk @ Jul 28, 2015 -> 10:12 PM) We are right in the mix, but the only thing that will be holding us back is trotting Danks out there every 5 days, unless we face someone like Kelly. Sox are 5-5 in his last 10 starts. 4.37 ERA, averaging 6 innings per start. That's good 5th starter stuff...and something a lot of teams would like to have...just not at 14 mil.

...and then the Twins get right back into it.

Oh baby! This is getting good.

Too early for the prospect tag, but I hope Zavala is a catcher that turns out. We need that.
