I still remember reading an article on OV years ago, prob in the 90's when he was a really good player....and the article was about players getting lucky on the road. Really enlightening stuff. Anyway, I read it and it listed some of the players who were most successful at it, and, yes, Omar led the league, and it wasn't close. This is something I would never think about commenting until I read this thread, but I never wanted him to be Sox manager, which at one time was a possibility.

I thought the same thing during the 8th. Why is Lopez, who couldn't get anyone out in AAA, pitching with two rested stud relievers left in the bullpen. Lopez gives up what turned out to be the winning run.

Not Engel's best game. Two tough plays that he missed, 0 for at the plate.

He should have stepped out of the box. Pitcher took forever to pitch it, Vaughn had to stand there forever before he swung.

Players union disagrees.

Guy hit a knuckle ball. Round bat meets round ball, and if it is perfectly squared up, you can get a knuckler.

cub fans have been that way for decades.

C'mon, man, you know what I meant. We scored once, got 4 hits, lost by 8. He would not have helped.

Oh? Would he helped yesterday?

It's now in the Lawyers-a-go-go category.

Not sure why Mets would give up a Number 1 draft pick from last year.... Just 19 years old.

Jeff Passan had good article on Cubs earlier this week, talking about the long term plan to trade the 3 stars last week and build up the prospect list.

What scares me is what percentage of MLB games have I watched? More than Tony has managed, I assure you.

On the brighter side, this team is due for a genuine Hot Streak.

Theo Denlinger, recipient of a $10,000 bonus, gets promoted real quickly.

His hearing postponed again until August 16.

Too bad Hahn didn't do a switcheroo on the Cubs, including the other Madrigal, the relief pitcher, not the second sacker. Sort of like the the old Berry Berry affair.

Scott Boras is his agent.

Kimbrel is a Sox next year, too.

I bought the hype, too. He not only had power, he was a stolen base machine, too, at age 20-21. I have some BoSox pals, and he was all they could talk about until they brought him up (too soon). I wonder how much weight he has gained since those days. I still think he will put it together somewhat, and his best days are out there.

Heuer pitched a perfect inning tonight.

Tempura yet to get anyone out.

Hernandez liked it better at Cleveland.

Get him out of there/

If he pitches 160 innings next year, he vests for 2023.
