Paper bags should be placed over the cutouts' heads.

It's A HAPPening--The Magic Mushrooms

 

A psychedelic song from 1966.

[Larry Cook]

This is uglier than a Steinbrenner family reunion!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Damage control. SOX team ERA shouldn't be affected if they hold the Yankems to 7 runs.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

When an inept POS umpire like Carlos Torres can keep his job, it just exposes how strong the umpires' union is and how they don't give a crap about the quality of the umpiring in MLB.

They're still pissed about when they went on strike and were replaced by scabs.

And in many cases the scabs were better than the union umps they replaced.

Glad I missed tonight.

Happ is rounding into form. 94 mph heat late? He’s peaking at the right time and is likely the best #4 in the AL

You do realize this is a SOX forum. What makes you think a SOX fan gives a shite about Happ? Btw, what makes you think at all?

Several days ago Jim Rice observed that JDM wasn't swinging at the ball but rather at a spot. Last night's game was an excellent example of how accurate Jim Rice's observations were. JDM's swing has become robotic. He looks really lost. As far as I am concerned JDM is right up there with Matt Barnes as to the reason why Boston lost last night.

 

I don't blame Barnes for the loss. If JD makes contact, the Sox have a great shot at winning. If the Sox pen doesn't give up runs in the 7th and 8th innings, the Sox have a great chance of winning.

Sunday’s game is the gem of the series and I’ll be working.

 

It should (hopefully) be a good and fun match up of pitching youngsters.

 

One bright side of the Sox stinking so badly is that we are not the Sunday night ESPN game. LOL

[Kimmi]

That game was a heart - breaking , gut - wrenching , soul - crushing defeat . Well , at least it would have been if it mattered at all in this wretched season . As it is , it is just one more disappointing loss . P.S. Closing ain't easy.

 

The losses have been 100 times easier to take this season. I still hate losing to the Yankees though.

 

My hope is that we can at least win the game today to keep the Yankees from clinching a playoff spot against us.

Take a look at his peripherals. There is no excuse for why the Sox offense allowed him to dominate like that.

[dgalehouse]

Another loss . But you have to love the way they fought . Played their hearts out . Never quit until the end . { Just kidding , that was the meekest surrender of the year . ) Looked like they had no interest whatsoever .

Randomness?

They mailed that one in, but because the mail has been intentionally slowed down, it won't arrive until today.

Some can call this Yankem pitcher "Little Pedro" just like I can call Chaviz "Little Judge." Edited September 20, 2020 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Garcia isn't fooling anyone except those who believe he's 'Little Pedro.'

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I love it. Chavis owns 'Little Eva.' "Do the loco-motion with me."

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

That I'm watching this meaningless SOX/Yankem game should tell you all you need to know about how I feel regarding NFL football, NBA basketball and golf.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

SOX FO should sit JD for the rest of this season. His value declines following every game he plays. If he continues to play, the SOX may have to eat his entire remaining salary to get rid of him.

Captain Houck!

[moonslav59]

The Yanks are Houck, lined and sinkered!

[royplayer]

Guess no one is noticing that Houck is no hitting the savages.

He was no-hitting the Yankems, but it's something one doesn't bring up while it's happening.

So far the SOX starting staff going forward is Perez and Houck. Although with Houck it is a SSS. However, I like that he throws nothing straight.

[royplayer]

Does Houck come out for the seventh? Do we take our chances with the bullpen?

[royplayer]

The savages must be licking their chops now that Houck is out. Was hoping we would get a few more runs. I don't think six is enough with this s*** show of a pen.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The Yankems were definitely Houcked. Unfortunately, the SOX don't have a 'lined and sinkered' in the BP.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I'll give the YES network credit. When Ken Simpleton left the booth, I didn't believe they could find another announcer as boring and stupid. I was wrong; Paul O'Neil checks off both boxes.

[royplayer]

Nice Dalbec home run.
