Do you smell that?? It is getting close....

Honest question because I’m too lazy to go through the box scores.  When is the last time the Sox have scored a run in the 7th, 8th, or 9th innings?  It certainly seems like they score a couple early and the bats go silent for the remainder of the game.

Even when they hit a ball hard, it’s right at someone!

It’s what happens when you have a team lacking in power

Benintendi hit a meaningless homer in the 9th on Thursday.  Prior to that they scored in the 8th on Monday.  

Benintendi closing in on Robert Vaughn and Sheets for the team ops lead...what a sad state of affairs.

.220 vs. .218 BA advantage to Benintendi.

More 9th inning drama. Just to let us down

Lenyn Sosa has one more chance to score a run in the month of August.  He's played 23 games and has zero runs scored.  Can he do it.  

Wa wa wa waaaaaaaaaaaa

This is so awesome.  

Another pathetic offensive effort.  Fire everyone

Oh yeah. I’m leaning into this suckage.

36-126? Why not!!

That is honestly insane.  Lenyn Sosa got on base 18 times in the month of August and not a single one of these sorry ass hitters on this roster was able to drive him in a single time.  How the f*** does Chris Getz have a job?  That is a great find.

Because we deserve a quick fix

Looks like we might have been better off losing that year by not hiring Getz, huh, JR?

Tomorrow they'll set the franchise record for losses AND record their third double-digit losing streak of the season AND go 0-10 on the homestand.

That's called a triple crown of ineptitude!

I don't know to be embarrassed or ashamed

You laugh.

The only good news I get out of any of this is, this keeps screwing over the Cubs who are red hot, beating up on garbage teams, but can't gain any ground in the Wild Card race.

They’ve gained 2.5 on the Braves in the last week.  Dbacks are in trouble also with a ridiculously hard schedule.

As of today Cubs have a 5% chance of making the post season. That's UP from 3% at the end of July. 

They'll finish with a winning record but they aren't going to the postseason. (Fingers crossed)

Met fans took over the bleachers:

4.5 with Braves losing to Phillies at the moment with Wheeler pitching. A Sox win today or tomorrow would help the Cubs greatly. 

You know, our Sox are so bad I hope the Cubs make the playoffs. Anything to try to embarrass Reinsdorf. He probably won't be embarrassed and the media is pretty much ignoring the awfulness of the team so I hope the Cubs make it. This season and last and the current state of a double tank has changed my mindset so much as a Sox fan. I sort of hate the team and whole organization now while recognizing I was born a Sox fan and will never divorce completely.

Jerry made a good buck off those fans. Not a bad idea, fly in for a weekend holiday series.
