Whatever it takes to win, we must do it tonight, not only to win another series but to come home with a little good feeling that we have really turned the corner. The team surely knows what they have to do----so do it!!!!!

Sox up 3-0 in the 1st. Kike' with a homer to lead off. Verdugo and Story follow with hits to bring in another pair.

Schloicka · May 26, 2022, 07:52:09 PM

Story with a 3 run Hr. 6-0 Red Sox.

Schloicka · May 26, 2022, 09:11:41 PM

7-5 in the 5th inning. Red Sox still ahead.

markj · May 26, 2022, 10:12:29 PM

Pale Hose trying to maim each other over a foul ball. Sox up 9-5.

markj · May 26, 2022, 10:31:31 PM

Pale Hose are imploding. Keystone Kops stuff. Hard to believe this same team swept the Sox at Fenway.

markj · May 26, 2022, 10:40:01 PM

Meatball Matt has a 9 run lead and is still walking batters.

markj · May 26, 2022, 10:46:24 PM

Barnes has walked the bases full. Wanna bet he walks in a run? Pale Hose could make no contact with the ball this inning and still score a run. WTF?

markj · May 26, 2022, 10:48:40 PM

He did. he walked in a run. 4 walks in the inning. WTF is he still on this team?

markj · May 26, 2022, 11:15:02 PM

Another rout. 16-7.

Sea Dog 23 · May 27, 2022, 07:00:42 AM

With the awakening of the bats the last couple weeks, everybody in the lineup is above the Mendoza line, except for Dalbec and Arroyo, who played RF this game. Man, JDM is en fuego at .380.

JD is up around .500 for the month. Story seems to come up with men on base every time and has been an RBI machine. With the three guys all hitting .300 ahead of him he'll have plenty of opportunities. Can they keep it up? Chicago is a pretty good team.

This is tough, they're sucking me in. I want to believe, but.....

The bottom line is they've got pretty good starting pitching most of the time, although Wacha struggled a bit. But the bullpen is such a mess. Schreiber is the only guy I have confidence in right now but like everything else, you feel like the next shoe is going to drop. I think it's time for Barnes to go on the IL and then do long rehab stint in Worcester. He's a freaking disaster.

I wonder if the fans are aware that the team scored 33 run in three games against the White Sox---BUT ONLY WON TWO OF THE GAMES!!!!!!! When you score that many you win the three games, and I will always demand that when we score in double figured in a three or four ame set WE WIN ALL THOSE DAMN GAMES!!!!!!!
