I'd lament that the board is dead during a competitive game, but totally understand how last night could have broken even the most ardent of Sox fans... I'm still confident we lose in 10. Sox will be playing meaningful baseball in September ... that's always been the goal

Screw Bogaerts haters, man. Guy bleeds Sox, er, red? If he’s not back, Bloom can win a full fist of rings and I won’t care. Agreed. Devers too. We whiffed on Lester, and on Mookie - you would think a team would learn.

In worlds other than baseball, I believe this qualifies as a "dead cat bounce". Still nice to see. Never too late to be a spoiler.

Who is a bogaerts hater? I just want him to play better. The double last night that the team squandered and the home run today are a great start. Hopefully he gets hot down the stretch and shows us the power isn’t gone

Boy, do I miss the enthusiasm of 2018 when I thought they were never going to lose a game, regardless of how bleak it looked. I really think somehow they f tonight up. I apologize for my negativity. Things tend to balance out, I notice.

I wonder what it would cost to steal the Braves' GM? That guy is killing it.

Watching the Dodgers instead. Mookie just hit homer #28. His career high is only 32. Mookie with #29, as well!

It was fun that week or two we thought Verdugo might have a better season than Betts. That thought has literally never crossed my mind. No? I remember when people were excited when Schwarber, Mookie and Renfroe were struggling.

There’s plenty of blame to go around. Him + JD not driving in runners from run-producing spots in the lineup has undoubtedly been a factor in their offensive woes though Like it’s not a coincidence that the Sox offense wakes up when he does.

Games like this are fun regardless of our WC standing. This season is history for the post season. Sit back and enjoy the good times. We deserve some.
And let us hope that the Sox toss out the deadwood and bring up some kids. They just brought in Brazier. I would rather see German, Zack Kelly than Brazier at this point. Even Mata. Brazier walks the first guy and gives up a hit to the second.
Now another hit to the third.
Yuk.

Lester was a heavy contributor to the Cubs when they most needed him to be in their history. Too much WAR/$ stuff at times. Totally misses the key point of timing. Do you really think Cubs fans wished the Cubs hadn't signed Lester? Really? He was a difference maker in helping them win their only World Series in 100 years. Who cares if he faded toward the end of the contract? Its not like it cost them the Series during those years. Do you think I regret the Sox signing Foulke because he wasn't valuable in 2095 and 2006? Looking back, who cares? Thank God they had Foulke in 04 or else they dont win. Kind of the same with Victorino in 2013 who was worthless afterward Both Foulke and Victorino were really good when it counted. Who cares about the rest of it when it didnt matter as much?

I brought up Lester and Mookie. I am a fan of this team (and have been since 1967) and as a fan grow to love certain players. When those certain players end up getting dealt, it hurts, and I don't forget it. Whether it is Fisk, or Burleson, or Lynn, or Lester - and most of all, Mookie - it leaves a mark. I watch to root for the team, to enjoy the games - and pay little to no attention to the money aspects, or the advanced stats aspects. I especially don't like the justifications, excuses - and the worse players who typically end up here for them.

Chaim continuing to think Brasier is a better option than any of the AAA arms should lead to a criminal investigation.
