OK, I'll try it: SOX at RAYS (7:05), Tax Day

Hopefully, a hefty return.

MAYBE SOME JAD MOJO IS ALL WE NEED!

[jad]

Well, it's always worked for the other team I follow:  the LA Clippers!   ( ...  or ... perhaps it hasn't).

Since this game is being played in THE FREE STATE OF FLORIDA, this thread is possibly for May 1 since our 1040's aren't due until then because we got an extension due to hurricanes. 🌴🌞🐊🦈🪳🦟🍊🍹⛳🎣

We (the fans) need a win!

F*** tax day. Had to make a $15K payment to the IRS this morning. Maybe I should've held off in hopes that the IRS gets dismantled.

Casas moved to 7th. Campbell up to 6th.

Ouch.  He looked so promising before his injury.  He needs to get out of his head.

A lot of hard contact for Pepiot. Maybe he can get on track.

Any idea what devers' K-rate was in the 2nd half of last year?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Don't be surprised if #42 sux for the Sox tonight.

[vegasbob]

Surely tonight's game will be the start of an amazing turnaround, back to the days of the Cardinal slaughter.

These guys will break out and play well on both sides off the ball to complement good pitching.   

Let's get back to .500 over the next 2 and move  back to Fenway.

A wonderful sight---a first inning run compliments of Devers and Bregman.  If only Duran would stop popping up and get on base.

Despite the recent shite show by the Sox batters, I still have more confidence in the Sox offense than I do In their pitching.

[vegasbob]

That HR by Duran was fun to see.  As Merloni said he was popping up  due to dropping his body via a long stride.  That was clear in the first inning and recent games, plus a few rollovers.  

Jarren , more than some others, can change the game by being on base.

[vegasbob]

Suddenly and without prewarning the defense also shows up to help Buehler.  Can it really be--the expected Boston baseball team

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Last time Story made that maneuver he was out most of the season.

[d-money]

What’s going on with this starting rotation man? It’s very inconsistent. 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Don't wait too long to trade Casas. Every game he plays his value goes down.

[FredLynn]

Six runs is not going to be enough.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Except for Crochet this starting staff is gonna be a BP killer.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Pepe Le Pew allowing the Sox batters to make contact with the ball.

[FredLynn]

Six runs is not going to be enough.

[FredLynn]

Four run lead. You don’t issue leadoff walks.
