Hang in there.

Just in time to prevent deadline mistake.

Hey, Lip, I have a hunch you are old enough to remember Jim Konstanty with the 1950 Phillies. Relief pitcher, best in Show, started Game 1 vs Yanks. Pitched his ass off and lost 1-0. 9 innings IIRC. Who stretched him out?

I like what Peters has done this year, but that last at bat was awful. If Sox want to convert Bonemer to CF, I won't complain.

Both Hicks and Taylor are fresh and rested.

Yeah, pretty much.

Disagree.

He didn't help himself by signing his son to a minor league deal, and then keeping him in the system for what seemed like a long time.

Lip, regarding the Stu Holcomb conspiracy, was that covered in the Chicago Press? Not the fact he was fired, but his management style of getting rid of players the way he did? I never understood hiring a football coach to run a baseball franchise. Detroit tried it also, hiring Bo Schembechler as GM a few decades ago.

Rodon signing was in there, too. Can't remember which was first. What are some of your early Boros/Sox interactions?

Vaughn hit one out yesterday. OPS just under .900. Jake Bauers getting most of the action at first base.

Yah, me too. Law is sharp. The first time he openly questioned the WS, in my memory, was right after the Shields/Tatis disaster. He was right, of course.

I take it you know him.

Schultz would have more innings under his belt if he could just get some more hitters out.

Boras hasn't changed.

Ramirez back with Cleveland.

Yah, I thought it was on purpose.

Does Colson have much trade appeal? That would remove our shortstop glut. Bonemer might be ready next year.

I'm with you if it's for Bonemer straight up. Preller would ask for more, IMO.

Not Venable's finest hour.

Game is on the line.

Any intentional walks for Alvarez?

You just hit the proverbial nail on its head. And, Schultz is probably penciled in for a start vs the Yankees next week.

Just this year. Blame it on the WBC.

Fajardo at #68.
