Gio pitched well last night. I'm gonna miss that guy. Even though he'll only be a 2-3 month rental, he should bring a solid return.

So easy to root for a guy like Remy. Reminds me of pitcher Scot Carroll. He came up after a long MILB career and really pitched well for a few months. Nice to see perseverance rewarded, even if its just until the league figures out their kryponite.

excellent call

Gavin Sheets hitting 7th. I don't like watching GS hit. Or field. Or chew gum. In a year or two after he's out of baseball, I hope I'll be able to block out the last couple of years of his career. The first year was actually a lot of fun.

had to take care of something at work. Felt a 10-4 lead was safe. Forgot I'm a Sox fan.

Hate to honk my own horn, but I think I've got this called dead on. Keep it up Benny.

Pedro's ex wife will probably have that chiseled on his tombstone.

He should be benched for the remainder of the first half. If that doesn't do it, I'd designate him for assignment or option him to charlotte. His entire career is in the balance and he appears to be oblivious. Another 50-75 games like this and he'll out of baseball for good.

The title says it all. How much would it cost, and is it even feasible. Sox park is actually pretty damn nice downstairs and the concourse is great for when we're being blown out. The outside appearance is already cool. Another thing is the area around the park is even better than it was 40 years ago. good parking is available. If it was up to me I'd make the upstairs smaller and reduce capacity to 36-37000. I might leave the club level outside seats in place but separate them as stand alone premium seats. Those views are great.

Las Vegas area population is pretty small. A's would have it all to themselves. Would people go to Vegas when their team is in town? I don't really know. Maybe being an expansion team with no baggage would be better.

We're bad. We'll get worse next year. The only thing holding us together is starting pitching. Gio and Lynn are gone in less than 3 weeks. 100 losses are more likely than not. 100 losses next year is a real possibility. To brighten the mood, all future posts from Zisk will be humor based. Talking about reality kinda blows.

I'd kill to be Ohtani's agent. He really should get 50-60 milloion a year.

Nothing to add really. I just got a chuckle out of the thread name. Hope springs eternal.

Fire all bosses and bring in either Dallas Green or Jim Fregosi to help JR pick the next Executive VP of baseball operations. :}

Shuffling chairs around on the Titanic is not the answer people. Time to lower the life boats{clean house}.

How about trading Moncada and Jimenez to Rockies for Kris Bryant and Palmquist. Time to shake this morbid bunch of hacks up a little.

You're wrong about Ramos, but the rest are all cut from the same cloth.

It's a 45 win team with them. Tim is probably the worst shortstop in the league this year. terrible hitting, defense and baserunning. But his demeanor is actually worse.

As the sign in front of Kmart says,"everything must go". The injured, the selfish, the lazy etc.

Former outfielder turned pitcher.

I think we'll know about this season in 3 weeks. Play .500 ball through this period and they will have a chance. I'm actually happy just to be where we are. P.S. Our bullpen could actually be a strength going forward.

Nice to see a "non sunday" sunday line up.

Funny thing. If the Sox could have scored 2 runs a game when he pitched, Scholtens probably would be our All Star representevive.

Agreed
