The strike zone seems to be getting tighter.

Austin got a game knocked off his suspension. I literally laughed out loud when I saw it. [ My (and apparently Pedro's) paranoia about NY bias towards Boston is not a conspiracy theory. It is logical. MLB is based in NY. Baseball media companies are based in NY. The large ad agencies which support baseball are based in NY. Those who staff these organizations are or have become New Yorkers. The talking heads are New Yorkers. The man deciding suspensions is a New Yorker and former NYFY. Broadway's most successful play about baseball was "Damn Yankees". Jimmy Stewart and William Bendix played for NY. The Dodgers are still fondly remembered as from Brooklyn despite the LAD having the oldest stadium (1962) behind Comisky. The umpires reviewing challenged plays are doing so from NY. Hubris and bias are inevitable MLB's love affair with the NYFY and all things NY is long standing. Boston is the NYFY longest standing rival, a team which, according to NY fans, sucks. NYC has a population larger than New England's. Boston is merely a very big, very historic, and very intelligent college town, which teams beat up on the big and rich NY teams with regularity. New Yorkers involved in baseball (football, hockey, basketball, etc.) are happy to do their part in helping NY win. Is it really possible that this is an untenable position to take following Austin's intentionally dangerous slide into 2B and subsequent charging the mound followed by throwing equally dangerous haymakers vs. Kelly's hitting him in a safe place, and the suspensions incurred? Is it really too much to ask, once again, The fate of the 2 NYFY fan lawyers who broke law by breaking the seal of the court-sealed results of the original MLB sample drug test, and intentionally released to the public that Papi's test was tainted? I have no axe to grind against New York. Its social, political, spiritual, intellectual, culinary and artistic values are similar to those of Boston and other great American cities, and my own. NYC is a wonderful place. But the bias against the Red Sox and other teams is as inevitable as it is obvious. Because MLB is, in fact, NYFY centric it must take great pains to be fair to the other 29 teams, including the Mets. Unfortunately, this is often not the case. Also $$$. Yankees doing well means A LOT more revenue for MLB. Need Stanton? No problem, just have to give up a couple B prospects. Chapman for a bag of peanuts? Sounds good. It's a joke really, in terms of league parity and competition. But at least it makes everyone hate the Yankees.

I didn't see the last out by Sale, by that's a gutsy start after not having your best stuff Sale. All you can do is keep the Sox in the game, and that's what he did.

I got to officially change my avatar picture. Smith can't be trusted until further notice.

is Kimbrel available tonight ?? Should be. He faced 2 batters 2 days ago and lost on the homerun. Had one full inning yesterday. He'll be good to go.

I know he hasn't had a ton of work, but I can't remember him working 3 days in a row for the Sox, however, I don't really pay all that much attention to that stuff.

He's done it a bunch of times, I'm very sure. I doubt he's available tomorrow though for sure.

Matt Barnes' curveball has been elite this year and I think he's throwing it more often and earlier in the count it seems.

Barnes can't throw strikes all of a sudden. Man he just loses it sometimes.

If New York reverses this, I'm burning down their office tonight.
They already ticked me off to no end today even before the game.
