They probably think that makes him ready for the call.

Monasterio is fourth among AL shortstops in OPS with at least 243 at bats, .770.

Why in the hell do any of us want Story back?

165 AB, .547 OPS? I hope he stays injured.

Actually, as a member of the Sox he pretty much has stayed injured.

I wonder if Breslow will refuse any offer he receives for Duran during the off season? That's if Breslow is still employed.

This team is the equivalent of having a stripper as a girlfriend. Life had never felt better until you accept it as the norm. Then…? The team does THIS garbage.

Occasionally-rarely-I get it wrong. Hit the nail on the head today though. It was ovah at 2-0. 
But hey! No worries! Story is coming back soon and Crochet….will be starting games again next year. So, the Flops mantra should be repeated over and over again: “just wait till next year “.
