Thanks....only seeing the box score can be deceiving

I honest to God would rather give Tepera $16 million than pick up the Kimbrel option

Anderson batting .444 Robert .833 Abreu .571 Grandal .000 One of these things does not go together, One of these things does not belong

You see, LaRussa knew by experience that it was the 8th inning that was the trouble inning this year so it did not matter what he did in the 7th. It actually was a very sound strategy if you think about it.

Give em a finish boys!!!

Hey, Happy Birthday though.

I wish someone had the balls to fire them both!!!

It also doesn't help when a fan with a huge playoff winning streak against the Astros when he is in attendance chooses to not travel to Houston!!! I hope you booked that flight for Game 5.

If Soxfest happens this offseason....Rick Hahn might want to make other plans because any panel with him is going to be ugly. Honestly what do you do now. I mean you cannot pick up Kimbrel's option....can you??

It's actually not over yet, sorry about that. What a craptacular 7th inning. That's embarrassing.

I could not watch the game and chose to do an experiment and check in on the GameThread periodically and look at the latest post only and see if I could figure out what the heck was going on…here is my log of what I surmised by that method: Giolito is getting squeezed early and has no hit stuff if only the home plate ump didn’t suck. The Sox are down early and it seems like it might be by a bunch. The Sox are actually only down by 1 run. Sox are playing some shoddy defense. Sox got a sacrifice fly. I think they have a lead and it’s late because there is talk of why not bring in Hendriks here. I think they blew the lead because LaRussa does not know how to use a bullpen. LaRussa apparently did not go to Kimbrel or Hendriks late in the game with a lead….I have no idea whether the Sox are losing at this point or it is tied. I do think it is tied up…but still not sure. Need a DP?...uh oh. Complaints about LaRussa and defensive positioning….sounds bad…I’m not sure why the Astros haven’t won yet from the negativity I am seeing posted. OK, it seems like it was tied in the 7th, not the Sox leading and LaRussa brought in a kid….I would guess Crochet but he was used yesterday. Sox lose….I’m guessing with Kimbrel pitching like crap again. Ok, on to the Box Score to piece this thing together….Thanks everybody for being a part of my experiment even though you didn’t know it. And yes….I will never do this again.

If you are reading this thread Jack...I hope you are doing well young man. I know you love the Sox. Let's get back to Chicago knotted up at 1 a piece.

Feelin' Good....Feelin' Great Yeah!!!

I don't want to blame you if we don't win today but.....

Ok then. That's sounds fantastic to me.

Terrific....I think Tony is in the camp that 1 run is not going to get it done.

Speaking of uniforms, will they wear their usual Sunday 1983 jerseys or go Black tops??

What you fail to understand, Ray, is how outstanding of a human being Jed Hoyer is. What the Cubs did to Bryant was all Theo Epstein. Hoyer never had anything to do with that.

TA La Pantera Pito Bat Drop Hi Mom Yoyo AV Leury Legend Rally Engel Go Get Em Gio Let's do this and come back to the SouthSide all tied up

Let's just win the next 3 and not worry about McCullers in game 5.

Is that Connor McKnight? Never mind I read post wrong....I thought someone gave him a Sirius show....it must've just been the regular post game. And I agree, that game was brutally long...felt like 5 hours.

Sure need someone to get it going....a bat drop might be what the Dr. Ordered.

I think you're right. Houston is clearly just a bad match for us against Lynn. I think we can get to their bullpen. Would like to jump out to an early lead in Game 2.
