Stroman (2-4, 4.71 ERA) vs Cease (4-2, 4.24 ERA).

 

I’ll be at this shit show.

Please suck less than the shitty Cubs today, please.

We suck

Real question, but is this our worst lineup of the season?  I mean, Jake Burger is batting 3rd, we’re playing both Sheets & Vaughn in the OF corners, and we wrap it up with McGuire & Big Energy in the 8th & 9th spots.  Good god Tony is a mad man.

Here is our lineup by OPS:

1. .895
2. .816
3. .714
4. .732
5. .508
6. .600
7. .650
8. .482
9. .519

That’s got to be worse than our rebuilding years lineups.

It's frustrating.

But it doesn't seem to matter.  This old man, injuries, lack of urgency, the horrible moves from FO has depleted all the fun from this team. 

I know you win some and you lose some but I never in a million years thought we would be a dead ass team.

We have morphed into our manager.

I'm taking my son to the game but not really looking forward to this.

Sorry you have watch this mess in person…can’t be worse than taking your son to Yankee Stadium and getting stuck with the Keuchel start due to a rainout.  At least Cease should keep this interesting for you.  Do your best to get us a win!

I'm going to a random Yankees home game in September. Any tips or suggestions?

Don't forget arguably league's worst player hitting 5th

Facing a RHP with a sinker?  What can go wrong.  Can’t wait for Stroman’s punk ass to get into a fight with someone today.

honestly would be surprised if we score more than 3 runs today

My wife booked the tickets, but apparently they’re super expensive.  I would have loved sitting in the 100 level, but it was way too much money (her words) so we sat in the level above.  The views were still really good there so probably the best overall value.

Take the subway to the get the stadium.  You get dropped off right there.  Cell service sucks around the stadium if you have Verizon so make sure to have a copy of your tickets saved to your phone.  I found the food options to be terrible in the stadium and the beer is way overpriced (even for Rate standards), so load up as needed beforehand.

Hopefully him and Tony get into and Stroman Pedro’s his ass.

How many beers do I need to consume in order to semi enjoy this game?

All the beers

Burger 3rd is kinda fun. Not like anyone else has doing anything to hit in that spot.

Also, is Leury nursing an injury? Maybe Harrison is getting some final chances to show something?

How has Sheets been doing in RF? Unfortunately I know about the hitting…

There will be nothing interesting other than Stroman mowing the Sox down.

The Donaldson riff fired them up for a few minutes. 

There is no hope.

Hopefully cease can step up and sox can face their pen.

I guess alcoholic is the key word here, because he plays for the Ricketts.

Good for you !. Try to remember your son ,depending on how young he is ,wants to act like you so do your best to cheer and be positive . It's all about him and not if the Sox win when you are there. A ball game with Dad, win or lose should be a great memory that lasts forever.

Oh and take pictures for so the memories remain fresh.

Sox have an off day tomorrow, Cubs have a DH. I hope LaRussa manages like it.

About as well as a random Soxtalk poster would do.
