6/30 @Toronto

[Kimmi]

My daughter finally went to be after the Sox scored 3 in the top of the 11th, so she continues to be a good luck charm--two come from behind wins as soon as she started watching the game (and stayed watching in the case of last night). This is at no small risk to her losing her standing as sane, normal, human being. Fortunately, she goes back to Greensboro in a few days and has no subscription to mlb.com/TV.

 

Sanity and normalcy are overrated. The Sox winning is not. Your daughter must watch every Sox game for the rest of the season. I think it's a law.

Bellhorn gets all the credit for that. He called it!

 

Thanks Kimmi, I'm glad someone noticed.

Reading these game threads is a study in contrasts--me included. Early on I was as free as anyone with my condemnations, then quickly turned around when the Sox rallies. I was amazed when Price went 7, which to me showed a lot of guts. Right now that's three pretty good starters--Sale, Price, and Pomeranz (of all people), plus the possibility of one in last year's Cy Young and the likelihood of one in Eduardo Rodriguez.

i am surprised that someone as old as you is surprised by the emotional roller coaster of watching baseball.

Well, it's true nevertheless. Every game can have its surprises and like most everyone else I react to them--sometimes, as was the case last night--to my regret. I clearly underestimated our guys, Price, et al. I don't underestimate the bullpen, buy I was definitely mad at Hembree giving up the tying dinger that sent the game into extra innings.

I certainly did not notice. Did you really predict Marrero's turnaround at the plate? If so, well done.

Just read that to Sarah, and she is now likely to get a subscription to mlb.com/TV. Madness, madness--from a grown woman yet.

[OH FOY]

6-23 with RISP WOW!

Yes, I said he was about to go on a tear after the first Minnesota game. To be honest it was half-joke and half-hunch.
