Moon has called this season so far 'magical.' I think a more appropriate description would be 'Twilight Zoney.' With some major weak parts on this team and that they're in 1st place, yup, this is The Twilight Zone.
Why the hell was Richards even starting the 5th? C'mon, Cora, don't expect the SOX to comeback every game. That's not sustainable.
'Sustainable' is a catchy word.
When I think of the 'long term', I think of the 86 years between championships. The SOX have a good shot to win it all this year, but not w/o adding a very good starter. In addition to Sale. Let the future take care of itself.
Scherzer has the power of approving what team the Nats attempt to trade him to. Like I posted earlier, he's definitely hinted he wants to play for a west coast team that's contending. Dodgers or Padres might be more appealing to him than Tampa. But, who knows.
If the whole purpose of playing 162 games is to win the WS, how is it a terrible strategy to get players at the trade deadline that helps this to happen? Btw, do you know the definition of prospect? It's a player who has proven nothing.
The Astros improved their team after just acquiring Seattle's very good closer Graveman. Reports are that the Mariners' clubhouse is not very happy with the trade.
