The #1 problem is that MLB has allowed TV money to ruin the game. The playoff schedule is horrible because of TV, and the ridiculousness of having your favorite team blacked out every Saturday so FOX can force you to watch two teams you don't care about is insane. The union needs to get on board with accepting less $$$ from the TV networks (which in turn lowers salaries) in order to get games on at reasonable times. No playoff game may start later than 7:30 pm local time in the timezone of the further East of the two teams. Also, complete revenue sharing of local TV money.

When Wise went on the DL. A guy whose age and weight are both very close to mine shut out the Sox on Saturday. Something needs to happen.

I have sat in those sections lots of times and Row 1 occasionally and the view is fine. Also, in the outfield, Row 1 is actually the front row, unlike along the baselines where there are lettered rows in front of Row 1 in some sections.

Crap--did not notice that qunarvy's thread was a game thread. Merge or delete or whatever.

John Danks (LHP) 0-1, 5.40 vs Joe Saunders (LHP) 3-5, 5.57

OK, I only have Gameday, so what was the deal with the catcher's interference?

As someone with two math degrees, I can tell you that they are 1 percent off.

I'd go with this: DeAza 8 Ramirez 6 Rios 9 Viciedo 7 Konerko 3 Flowers 2 Peavy 1 Gillaspie 5 Keppinger 4

As fans we would probably be a bit happier, but the reality of how bad the team is wouldn't be any different.

I guarantee you that if it were me, that guy wouldn't just be standing there watching, because I'd have a gun pulled on his dog. He'd be out of the house in a hurry getting his dog away.

Going to try that excuse on my wife--". . . but I intended to take the trash out on time"

Am I the only one who wouldn't have bunted there?

Why pitch around him to 3-1 and then give him something to hit?????

Dunn might even be better at 1B than Viciedo.

Anybody raffling off a smart car deserves to be made fun of.

This certainly makes it sound like the school had good intentions. I wonder if there is any way to give the kids immunity from prosecution and from school discipline in order to encourage 100% truthfulness.

Thursday 8/29: Sox have an off day in between Astros at home and at Boston, Cubs have an off day in between at Dodgers and home against Philly.

The much less popular sequel to the Where's Waldo series.

Well, I'm not going to be in a position to download/print tickets that close to gametime. About 5-6 hours before first pitch would be my deadline.

Do Stubhub prices generally drop closer to the game date? I'm looking for 6 seats for Saturday 6/8 somewhere between Secs 128-145. Right now lowest price is $50 each. Would love to be able to get it for $40 or less.

Taking on the right contracts can work out. I think the Sox might at some point have taken on the contract of a bat that is working out fairly well.

The way the Sox pitch and hit, it's not out of the question that he could get a third one of those tonight.

Nobody outside of Rios has been hitting consistently well enough to say that it matters that much where they hit in the order.

Doesn't matter what the conditions, if you have that ERA combined with that record, your offense really, really sucks.

Yes, there's absolutely a deal like that out there--if you have an Xbox.
