Looks to me like Wright might be back in form and, yes, we can certainly have him ready if we need to replace one of the guys in our current starting rotation. I missed Betts today and hope this isn't one of those enduring injuries that never seem to heal. We need him back badly, but for some reason Holt always seems to contribute in a positive way---and some thought Lin would be better for our team than him...Silly.

God win today and it didn't hurt that the Astros beat the Yankees either.

As DAD would say..... "SON, guys like Steven Wright are GOLDEN, because they pitch fast & keep the other team guessing/off balance with the slow knuckle ball, even though they know it is coming !! thumb_u rofl rofl

Although it's encouraging to see Price on the upswing in his last 4 starts, his walk count is high...

Right IPOT, but a bigger problem is the guy we're throwing tomorrow----Rick Porcello. He gives up too many damn hits and can't seem to keep the ball down and was downright shitty his last appearance against the Rays. We need him to get the cobwebs out and disenthrall himself by starting to pitch solid winning baseball for us again. In case the Yankees win tomorrow I don't want to give them back the game we picked up on them today as we did on Sunday. Full speed ahead. And let's hope Mookie is a fast healer. Slow healers really piss me off. OTOH, today's game was a real good one for us and hope there are many many more down the 2018 road.

Whoooo is this imposter wearing JBJ's jersey? I'm just out of answers, at least in my house.

This incarnation of JBJ shows up every now and then but soon disappears just as quickly.

I think Ali had a strategy as well, the 'rope a-dope'. Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. But he could remember those things. sigh

Mookie will sit out Tues game with Jays. "Tightness in his side" is the report.

This is sounding to me that he may be a very slow healer and we've had too many of those kind on our team. Get treatment Mookie and get the hell back in that lineup. We need you.
