    The Yankees have a slightly better winning percentage. You are correct about it being due to the difference in games played. You often see this early in the season; I don’t think I’ve ever seen it this far in. If the Yankees go 4-2 in their “extra” games, the two teams would be tied. If they go 5-1, the Evil Empire would have a 1 games lead, if they go 3-3, the Sox would be ahead by 1 game.

    Seems that ESPN has picked the Yankees-Blue Jays game for the Sunday night broadcast on July 8. The problem is that as a result of rainouts, the Yankees just agreed to a doubleheader in Baltimore on the 9th. They will wriggle out of the night game on the 8th; other teams would not be so fortunate. http://www.bostonherald.com/sports/red_sox/2018/06/bill_madden_rob_manfre_needs_to_step_in_and_fix_yankees_vs_espn_debacle

    I've always wondered how much Lester really wanted to stay. Yes, the initial offer from the Sox was insulting, but there were never any reports of a counteroffer by his side (even an insanely high one). I think he always intended to get to free agent status unless the Sox blew him away with an offer early on.

    They brought up Travis for Betts, but today they brought up Poyner to replace Pedroa, so even shorter than normal.
  5. illinoisredsox
    That's why Holt wasn't in for Nunez on defense last inning, replaces Swihart in right instead.

    Kids:rolleyes:

    Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright; the band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light, and somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout; but there is no joy in Natick — Vazquez hit it out
  8. illinoisredsox
    Well, I see the chief panicmeisters are out in all their glory tonight. Is it time to DFA the whole club again?

    With HIPPA laws being what they are, the crack medical staff legally can’t say anything.
  10. illinoisredsox
    Well, for one thing, McCullers had the ball. Devers didn't.
  11. illinoisredsox
    Every team, no matter how good, is going to lose 55-60 games. This is one of those nights.
  12. illinoisredsox
    Houston has had several freaky plays go their way tonight.
  13. illinoisredsox
    Nothing wrong with that call.
  14. illinoisredsox
    Obstruction on Devers.
  15. illinoisredsox
    Yep, but we need him back healthy.
  16. illinoisredsox
    That's easy; Swihart will play all nine positions, like in that Bugs Bunny cartoon. They can DFA everyone else.
  17. illinoisredsox
    Well at least this inning gets Swihart out of the way. Not showing much tonight.
  18. illinoisredsox
    It's really just two nattering nabobs of negativism who simply aren't happy unless they aren't happy.
  19. illinoisredsox
    Tonight really wasn't that bad; far better than recent outings. Correa hit the snot out of it but it isn't the first time he's done that and it won't be the last. The two runs in the 4th had a huge element of bad Sox luck or good Houston fortune in them.
  20. illinoisredsox
    Good inning by Pomeranz there.
  21. illinoisredsox
    He's best when he doesn't have time to think about making a play and he only has time to just react.
  22. illinoisredsox
    Why don't you do it? You have all the answers, I'm sure he would listen to you. Step up.
  23. illinoisredsox
    Behind McCullers, that is a distinct possibility; he's good. I had the pleasurre of seeing both Correa and McCullers here when they were in Low-A ball. You could see they were special players.
  24. illinoisredsox
    Correa crushes a lot of homers. He's a great hitter, it happens. In the 4th, the first hit was hit in a perfect spot. It would have been better for the Sox if the ball to Moreland had been hit harder, he nails him at the plate if it is. The 2nd run came on a perfectly executed bunt.
  25. illinoisredsox
    Yeah, two of those balls were really roped. He's been poor this year, but let's not pretend he's getting knocked all over the ballpark this inning.
