9/22 White Sox @ Boston 7:10pm ET

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Future HoF'er Tooki Toussaint holds the mighty Sox to 1 run through 6 innings getting his quality start , and in line for a win. I know the Sox will come back to win this one, probably with 2 outs in the 9th but meanwhile they are uninteresting

 

Uninteresting? You're being way too nice.

Whitlock has not been good since he came back from injury.

They have been uninteresting as a team all year. There have been a few individuals who have been interesting but as a team they have been as interesting as watching the paint dry.

1st coat or 2nd coat?

Dugo does play RF well in Fenway. Credit to him

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Imho, only Dugo and Story are above average on defense for the SOX. Actually, both are way above average.

And, imho, every other ballpark.

Some team during the offseason is going to get a very good defensive RF.

Second coat

Watching the first coat dry is much more interesting than watching this team

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Even the fans at Fenway are defensively useless.

My bad. I should also include Wong as above average.

News flash!!!

 

You can watch a condensed two hour version of this game tonight at 11:30 on NESN!!!

I can’t wait!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Once a team(SOX) is mathematically eliminated from the PO's shouldn't ticket prices be reduced?

I'm only kidding. That'll never happen. Fans pay the same price for shite as they do for gold.

You saw that too, Thompson proved that Dugo isn't the only RF'er in the park. The fans were guilty of watching Boston defensive efforts all year and imitating

With my Xtra Innings package I can watch the whole game again after a few hours. I can wait!

Unfortunately, there's no vaccine for that.

It is especially fun to have O'Brien giving updates on scores from other AL teams that are actually playing for something. Hard to say that this bunch didn't effectively quit after the trade deadline, when the former CBO called them underdogs while looking in the mirror at a deadman walking.

Turner losing his magic late in the year

[FredLynn]

Turner feeds the tank by striking out on ball four

Here comes the GIDP

Speaking of OB, I've noticed that during the games that Merloni does the color it appears to me that OB does a better job of play-by-play. They just seem to me to have a good chemistry in the booth.

[FredLynn]

Wonderful

Possible extra innings

[mvp 78]

DFA Yoshida

[vegasbob]

Masataka with a rbi hit with 2 outs to get the lead. Still pounding it down but pretty hard that time and off a LH

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Timely hitting by Masa. Timely hitting, a term I haven't employed much this season.

DFA Yoshida

 

Yoshi needs to grow taller in the off season so he can play the wall better

[vegasbob]

Story has a 3 run bomb coming

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

A lot of players get fatter during the offseason, but taller? That's asking a lot, Vegas. I guess he could wear 6 inch stilettos.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Signing Martin for 2 years was one of Bloom's better moves.

[vegasbob]

Chris Martin shows how to pitch in relief all year long. Yoshi had the GW RBI
