In anger, unkind words are said and soon the teardrops will start. Why can't they free my doubtful mind and melt my cold cold heart? lol, looked at Dire Straits titles but couldn't find anything applicable to sooth your troubles. You're probably screwed.

Well, if the "Sultans of Swing" show up in Sox uniforms today, that might help.

If the Red Sox blow this lead, or if they get swept again in round 1, does Farrell get canned? We've been hearing rumblings Dombrowski would prefer his own guy managing the team and Farrell could go out almost the same way as Francona...

My view - they are winning just enough so that he is "safe" - but his future as manager certainly hinges on the coming days. My preference - no matter what, make the change.

Are they even going to play today? Its raining in Boston. Forecast looks like a likely delay, and further delays once they start....which would make things interesting for the pitching. Right now a front must be draped over Boston - nothing seems to be moving on radar

does everyone have their favorite beverage to toast when we win the division today? Need to start a new tradition around here. I, unfortunately, will be diverted to offer some family help at the time this is likely to happen, so I will be packing a non-alcoholic beverage.
Looking forward to the celebration.

Time to win this division outright. I have no problem pitching Pomeranz and letting him go his usual 6 innings. Get Carson Smith, Addison Reed, and Kimbrel ready.
It's time to finally win a freaking game.

Pretty sleepy today and it's very chilly and rainy here where I live so I'll be downing crazy unhealthy amounts of coffee and looking like prime Steve Buscemi by the 3rd inning.

Looking forward to the celebration. we have a neighborhood chile contest/gathering tonight at 5 - will be bringing a bottle of some red with us to swig (not a huge fan of these types of things but we are "veterans" of this neighborhood (25 years and counting here) and there are lots of new people moving in recently....so we will grin and bear it! (got a spicy chicken chile in the slow cooker creating nice aromas in the house!)
