This is getting ridiculous

Have fun, you might not see it again in your lifetime.

Maybe, but it is great. The last couple of years, the team has played hard - but due to lack of talent and some bad luck, they fell short. It is nice to see playing hard rewarded with results

The A’s are paying for giving the Sox a hard time last week

 

[Hammer of Thor]

32-46 start
32-5 since

Currently on a 27-3 run….

The extra-innings designated runner on second base has cheapened the game, IMO. Bad rule, still-boring sport.

Tunes, check out The Joy of Sox blog, esp the stuff on the Yankees.

Is this what happened in June?

I'm local, so I have no issue watching these guys on NESN.... I'll admit that I got sick of the Bad News Bears version earlier this year, but I've been trying to watch them for weeks since I saw they were turning a corner.

Durbin has turned into a Pedey clone, which was needed....but he's far from the only one.
This team BELIEVES!

 

[WhatJustHappened]

I see Trot Nixon, Coco Crisp, Pedey...
I worry about Closer, Aroldis seems like the guy that was erratic before he got here, he was sharp last year, but he's definitely showing cracks this year...not sure if it's age, or just the same as before he came here.
I'm enjoying the ride, these don't happen very often!

Payton Tolle - First Red Sox rookie to have 14 Ks in a game since Roger Clemens.

Only MLB pitcher in MLB history (since pitch tracking began in '88) to have 14 ks in a game when throwing 85 pitches or less.

Pitching and timely hitting is winning these games.
I'm really enjoying these games.
Who would have guessed that Mona,Soogarld, Seigler would actually contribute?
If Mona could get his **** together in the field he'd be making $.

We'll see, dude is always hurt...and he's hurt NOW.
Risky move, and we gave up young talent to get him.
Hopefully it works out.

More a joke about Rogers and his two doubles last night.

I haven’t been able to watch too much, what are you seeing? His numbers look good

He's rarely solving the 9th inning without creating baserunning drama. Yes, he's generally solving it, but much too often within an inch of not.

27-3 last 30 games.
But today is a MUST win.
Golden opportunity to troll Arthur Blank
one more time

He's getting into trouble, I'm guessing his WHIP is up from last year.
