Gotta love Duran. Always trying to get us all upset before. crushing the. naysayers

[Tedballgame]

Durbin should have saved that challenge. You never know.

[iortiz]

Chad pressing the right buttons like 2108 Cora fashion. 

[Tedballgame]

It doesn't matter now that Duran didn't hit the first three months. What matters is that he is hitting well now, still has power and he can be a huge piece down the stretch.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

First extra inning grand slam against Miami since 2013.

[Tedballgame]

You cannot walk guys now. Idiot.

[iortiz]

What the fck are Gamboa and especially Wong doing walking ppl with a 4-run lead man. What? 

[Tedballgame]

Catch the ball Wong.

[Tedballgame]

The amazing season continues. Yes!!!!!

Great. But is he better than Duran?

10 times better, yes. Not even close.

Too bad the trade deadline is past, or Duran's valkue might be at it's highest point it will ever be after tonight.

Seems the more we pick on Jarren, the better he does.

[moonslav59]

We gained a game on the Rays and Yanks!

If my math is correct, in their last 53 games the Sox have a run differential of +106.

Have not checked, but that sounds impossible.

Another strong top 1.

The guys are just not much interested until 8th/9th which is their sweet spot

The Caleb Williams era.  Wake me up when it counts.

Remember when Monasterio got hits? That 5-game streak where he couldn’t stop hitting doubles…? 

It's fascinating to watch.  Everyone in BB gets hot and cold.  But for the RSN, when someone like Money gets hot, the fans think he's great, until he's not.  Now it's Gaspar's time.

Named after Fats Domino.

Yup, I don't remember who said it, but someone asked "Are you like Fats Domino?" and the response was "No, I'm more like a Chubby Checker".  And the Beatles were named after the Crickets, which was incredibly audacious at the time.

More: we were -7 on June 24th. (6 games under Pyth, even then!)

We are +104 now, so +111 since June 24th. (Still 6 games under Pyth)

I don't even think Wong should be pitching.

LOL, some might add "or catching."

I just checked July + August, and it certainly does seem possible.  We had a Py W/L of .710 over those two months, against an actual record of .745.  So even if we were playing over our heads, we were still playing really well.

Then, as a catcher, I object to Wong walking people.

[Larry Cook]

Another incredible game. Who would have ever thought Duran world be the guy!!!!

olds and gamboa in the 11th and we still get the win
