F*** it. Someone's gotta do it.

Probable Starters: Hendricks vs Kopech

 

Edited July 25, 20232 yr by Bob Sacamano

Such a monumental match up deserves an early gamethread. Well done.

But seriously, have fun tomorrow. It's just baseball after all....no I'm not crying, it's that damn Canadian smoke again.

We prob get swept but at this point who cares??

Thinking back to it, probably too early for hug watch.

I'll amend my own post,  I hope we will sweep the cubs if nothing else to retain at least a fraction of pride in this worthless organization 

It might be good for firing Hahn and the 2024 draft pick if they lose here on out, but just like the Twins series I want the Sox to sweep because f*** the Twins, the Cubs, the Red Cubs, the Dodgers and the Yankees, in that order.

Red Cubs?

As much as I hate losing to the Cubs, the very last thing I want to see is those clowns sneaking into a wild card post season spot, it may be best for the Sox to really bottom-out, just lose...lose...and lose.

Lose 100 games if possible.

That may be the only thing that forces JR to change and even then I won't guarantee that it would...but you've got to try.

Nooooo chance they will catch any of the wild card spots. It’s division winner or bust for ALC teams.

I'm talking about the Cubs getting into the playoffs. They are only 6.5 out with two months to go and may no longer be sellers next week.

Twins with 9th inning comebacks two days in a row at home... tonight it was 3-2 the M's leading.

Goes to Top 9 tied 3-3.

12.5 back… sell sell sell sell

More than half of their final 60+ games are against teams ahead of them in the standings.  6.5 back of MKE and 5 back of a Wild Card with about 5 superior teams they would need to leapfrog.  By all means let them not sell and then get their asses kicked by Cincy and ATL immediately following the deadline to knock them further back.

Rockies get the Nats and A's this week, while the Sox get the Cubs and Guards.  Sox could be firmly 3rd worst by the deadline.  Sell baby sell!

I’ve been rooting against this loser organization for a while now but I can never root for the Cubs.

 

Hopefully the series is rained out.

0% chance of a wild card happening.

100 losses is a possibility, even with beating the Cubs.

90% of the league is ahead of them in the standings.

Edit: sorry you were talking about the Cubs.

Cubs also winning and believing they have a chance would effectively take Stroman and Hendricks off the market.

It was mentioned in here a few days ago, that Jerry is supposedly very irritated about the fact is team is so horribly bad. I'm wondering if the Cubs will both games, would that hopefully fuel Jerry's fire even more and get him to be so mad to maybe start thinking about firing Hahn. Kenny can do the trades with help from Getz and others in his front office. I understand that probably isn't going to get Hahn fired, but it would hopefully anger and embarrass Jerry more.
