At least we didn’t use our two best relievers in a 0-0 game 

Fresh for tomorrow when the Cubbies will probably explode early

Bullpen is still a weakness!

Was bound to happen sooner or later facing the 2nd best offense in the league and the BP had been on a pretty good stretch the last month or so. 

If you had to pick Sox weaknesses you'd put hitting and defense as worse than the BP based on a lot of metrics. Can't win if you can't score.

Altavilla and Alexander have the best ERA and WHIP in the bullpen. 

I’m going Taylor and Vasil before those guys in a close game. Altavilla looked god awful in his last game.

I was 10 feet away from JR at Buehrle’s Statue Unveling Ceremony. It took a lot to not say anything to him (didn’t think getting kicked out was worth it). Oh well, someone got this one in.

I missed when Plesac was there. How did he sound and was he better than Beckham?

Yes yes. A thousand times yes

Damn JR walking through the crowd with minimal bodyguards around him. If I were him I'd use younger bigger guys around me.

PCA is the most obnoxious player.  It’s such a shame he’s the role model for so many kids now. He can’t make an out without slamming his bat or throwing his helmet.

They're the 2nd worst team in baseball . They're going to be playing a lot of subpar players. The Sox can still win this series . 

They will be playing some you wish were subpar after our glorious false hope trade deadline.  As some teams forfeit their season and their prospects not ready,  the Sox will have more competition in the dumpster dive.

I doubt baseball players are role models for kids these days, Maybe Ohtani

With the Sox record and young arms I think they just like to use the more reliable guys in games they're ahead  if they can do that on a regular schedule if possible.  Taylor and Vasil will be fresh tomorrow for the rubber match. 

Didn!t you say just don't get swept or no hit ? I know that was a common theme before the 1st game. So far mission accomplished.

They had Chicago police officers lining the area but I agree that he should have had more security. He sat by himself for a little while until Harold Baines finally came over and sat next to him. I thought, “old money must be lonely sitting alone.” He did get handshakes and greetings from some of the 2005 team though.
