It should end on September 30th.

Except we saw a lot of this last year as well.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

It wasn't a crooked number, but at least it was a number.

[illinoisredsox]

I would like to have seen Wong running there, especially when it got to 0-2.  Worst case he gets thrown out and Duran leads off next inning.  Didn’t matter since Duran struck out on the 3rd pitch but still …

How bad have the Sox been playing?  Chapman hasn’t appeared in a game since May 20th.

He did warmup up last night.

He was honored for being best missing player of the week.

The Sox have played 32 games scoring 3 runs or less. Their record is 8-24.

I did predict the Sox would finish with 90 wins this season.

Pete Townshend hates me.

Mayer hasn't been on base enough to call the 1st base coach by his first name.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Mono called for a challenge and Stereo walked back to the bench.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Wong wanged that one.

He has also been dealing with some physical issues, so we might not have seen him anyway…

Well, he semi-wanged it.

Physical issues make sense. I mean this is the Sox.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

A Baltimore chop in Cleveland.

Too bad that the meteor didn’t hit Fenway today.

What did it hit?

I just checked. It exploded in the atmosphere. Even meteors in Boston can't hit.

It ain't the ballpark, it's the team.

I wonder if Bruce Willis was involved?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Very good job by Sonny.

Great line. 🤣

Double Durbin getting hot

What's the sense in painting a yellow line on the top of the fence if it has no significance? 

Purple, green, polka dots -- it doesn't matter what color it's painted.

If the ball clears a fence, whether it's chainlink gray or monster green, it's a home run. If it hits the top of the wall and goes over, it's gone. If it hits the top and bounces back, it's not. 

In driveway ball, if it goes in the air over a parked car across the street, it's a double. Over the lowest wire between the telephone poles is a triple. Over the highest wire is four bags -- every time.

Nothing wrong with that.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Dion better get back to singing.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Sonny gets a well-deserved win.

[moonslav59]

How many times has Duran gotten up with a big need for a hit, recently?

Now, he homers!

I'm not blaming the season on Durran, but this is a microcosm of the whole season.

For the love of God and everything that's holy, IKF is nearing .800!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Boston scored 17 in Baltimore and now 10 in Cleveland. It's a shame Fenway's not a hitter's ballpark.
