Back home where we seem to have learned how to win there again, we face New York who is still very deep in the race, and they have done better even with some of their men out of action because of Covid testing. Whatever it takes we have to prevail this wekend and then the next week against TB and the Blue Jays. I also hear those rumors about Anthony Rizzo which I take to mean it is a two month rental. But if what we're giving up is what I just read recently it is a trade I would make very quickly if the rumor really has legs. I like Anthony better than Santana and some of the other names I've heard. We'll soon see if this is real or a lot of smoke.

I did see that Franchy was called up for some reason. I guess it's appropriate he replaces Santana in the "sucky veteran" spot on the roster.

I guess that DURAN can't hit lefty's ???? Play the KID , now grasshopper !!!! iono iono iono rofl rofl rofl rofl

Dalbec K's on a ball that bounced off the plate. The kid will swing at anything.

markj · July 22, 2021, 09:08:05 PM

Sox need to figure out how to string a couple of hits together and get a run or two. Time is running out.

markj · July 22, 2021, 09:11:56 PM

Enough with these pathetic infield hits. Grrr.

markj · July 22, 2021, 09:12:48 PM

Finally! A ball into the outfield.

markj · July 22, 2021, 09:51:03 PM

Sox tie it up and then blow a chance to load the bases on stupid base running.

YUP.
When Alex ran home to tie the game, Dalbec SHOULD have gone to third
and then the Devers single would have scored him.

Instead - tie game.

AND DANG IT - the Rays came back to beat the Indians.

Verdugo with a dumb error in left. As if things weren't looking bad enough.

BoSoxFanNY · July 22, 2021, 10:19:01 PM

Feel sick.
The Sox seem doomed to lose this game.
Yankees 3 - Sox 1 in the top of the 9th inning.

AND the Rays beat the Indians.

CRAP.
The Yankees bullpen is weak AND we can't score.
DAMN
I feel sick . . .

Kiki ties it up, but again, they just can't finish the job.

markj · July 22, 2021, 10:56:34 PM

At least the Sox know how to take advantage of pitchers who have very bad nights. They somehow managed to pull a win out of the jaws of defeat.

SHAKING!
AND delighted to eat crow.
SOX did get to the Yankees weak bullpen.
Sox 5 - Yankees 4
I am still shaking.
