I have been greeting her with Hi Cat and she's been responding ?

Then I agree

I like your thinking but we'd have to throw Eloy in on that deal.

We are cat sitting for my sister in law...I think the cat is very upset with these losses because she's been sleeping most of the day.

Sox pick up option...trade Hendriks for a haul....slide the future hall of famer Kimbrel into the only role he's comfortable with. ?

Who would you drop from the 40 man?

Epic fail since I'm sure they expected they'd get something in return for Kimbrel in the offseason or next trade deadline. But you've got to accept the option to do that.

I wish you were the field boss elrockin.

Let's keep the dog pix coming and win 11 in a row for Jocomo....ok maybe start with 3 in a row. We play tremendous at home so let's get this thing back to Houston.

Listening to press conference on way home....I really hate those LaRussa pressers. Also Connor McKnight is getting as annoyed as Rongey used to....people are understandably upset and annoyed Connor.

I have always been concerned that when it came down to it, Hahn would trade away the wrong guys when he needed to add pieces. I know all the talk around here is that he's a bad guy and teammates don't like him but I think trading Madrigal will be a mistake. Heuer might be good too....another patented RH throw in like Tatis was.

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!!!
