What's the over under for first inning runs today?  I'd say 3. 

Maybe since we're out of the division we can manage to lose by a smaller margin tonight.

Out of the division - I'd say we don't give up 3 runs all night. (or did we trade for Robles or reactivate Barnes?)

Once again, the Red Sox trot out a lineup with only 3 bona fide major leaguers.

Franchy is either AAA or AAAA, but he did hit a home run to dead center today on the first pitch from Wacha. In batting practice.  I'm not sure what that really means.

Well Bloom picked up a piece today.  The Brewers gave up AAA OF Abraham Almonte for cash.  Like was said, Sox seemed to be captivated by minor leaguers.

O 'Brien has been saying all year long that Franchy crushes the ball in batting practice. So what he did against Wacha is nothing out of the ordinary.

The Red Sox are serious tonight. They are wearing their yellow jerseys.😀

Desperation move. Anything for a win.

Dalbec has a special talent for ending innings. He's really, really good at that.

This is as much of a cluster-mess of a baseball reference state page as I've ever seen.

Well a AAA outfielder who is 33 years old must be very good, huh?  I just don't see how this guy fits into anything.

But at least the yellow jerseys worked.
