Beat the Cubs today Avril 28

[Al Zarilla]

Yesterday was a marvelous day for the three major Boston sports teams that competed, all of whom had very convincing victories. Today (tonight) only the Red Sox are representing, and they need to continue dispelling the can’t win at home boolsheet. Win the game, win the series and continue to put last place in the rear view mirror.

 

[InsideTheParker]

OK, that was fun yesterday. But why do we have wait until after 7 to see a Sunday game?
ESPN, of course. Ugh. Do not like, as a general rule.
Geaux, Sox!

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Cream the Cubs

 

[mikeford]

another 2 TDs and a FG performance oughta do it

Don’t be hatin‘ on my chance to see the Sox play on TV

Sorry, I wasn't thinking of you. I have a tendency to put myself first in such matters. I will try to mend my ways.
Enjoy the game.
P.S. Fingers crossed that Houck gets back to his winning ways.

Looks like we just missed having a Winckowski vs Wesneski matchup.

So, we don’t have the market cornered on pitcher (make it any position) injuries? Hope this Cubs guy recovers and beats the likes of the Mets and the Cardinals down the road.

Imagine this as a double play combination with Remy or Eck making the call.

He’d probably say aw, f’it, Tinker to Evers to Chance.

F the Cubbies

In my head I'm hearing Rem stumble through, "Winck-ahh-ski to Wesneski to War-zahh-ski"

The Red Sox announced this morning that the club has recalled right-hander Naoyuki Uwasawa, whose first appearance with Boston will be his big league debut. Left-hander Joely Rodriguez was designated for assignment to make room for Uwasawa on the club’s active roster.

Good day to sit Yoshida

Good day to sit Yoshida

Why? RHP, and he seems to be heating up.

But is it a good night to sit him?

Jordan Wicks (lefty) was scratched with the dreaded forearm tightness.

 

[Norm loves Vera]

Per ESPN, O'Neill will be mic'd up for tonight's game. Should be fun!

I was being ironical

So Bobby D lives to play another day?

Batting 8th and playing 1B.

Joely, we hardly knew ye. The White Sox and Marlins need help, have a great career.

 

[InsideTheParker]

That BRef page linked above makes it very clear how one should pronounce his name, so no excuses, OB and M'brooks.
What an innocent-looking face. Cute.
So, the Rays let him go after Spring Training?

If he can get MLB hitters out, don’t care if he looks like this guy.

He opted out. He signed a minor league deal with the Rays that included a clause that allowed him to opt-out if he wasn't going to be added to the 40-man roster by Opening Day, similar to what Joely and CJ Cron had here. The difference between them is that Joely and Cron don't have options so to add them meant they had to make the 26-man roster (so Cron was released). Uwasawa did have options so he was added to the 40-man but not the 26-man (until today).

The White Sox just swept the Rays, FWIW.

O'Neill with the gun show in the cage.

….and the A’s took 2 of 3 from Orioles.

Orioles should have painted the seats differently

or maybe just not use Kimbrel

Amazin’ A’s sort of. Good thing we got them early.

 

[Ale Xander]

These ESPN graphics are the best

 

[staz]

Love how ESPN manufactures all these bullshit narratives.

 

[LynnRice75]

These ESPN graphics are the best

Their narrative about the "ballpark" being the likely star attraction of the season shortchanges and ignores a lot of the positive signs the current squad has displayed thus far. I suspect I switch the Red Sox radio soon.

30+ guy making mlb debut? Hopefully there will be crying soon!

 

[Red(s)HawksFan]

The "cursebusters" thing is pretty lame too. It's been 8 years since the Cubs broke their "curse" and 20 since the Sox broke theirs. At what point do we move on and just treat these teams just like every other storied franchise in the league?

 

[LynnRice75]

Love how ESPN manufactures all these bullshit narratives.

Glad they noted that we "recently" broke a curse.
By that logic, my 20-year old college graduate son was recently born.

“Emphasis on defense?”
Is Karl drunk?

Let’s do this.

His toupee is on too tight.

[staz]

Hey guys, the Red Sox won the World Series after a long drought
THEN THE CUBS DID TOO!!111

 

[absintheofmalaise]

ESPN wouldn't have to manufacture narratives if the Sox had any on their own.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Is the home-plate ump miked up?

 

[JOBU]

Jesus. They got this ump mic’d up or what. He sounds like the ump from Bo Jackson baseball.

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Time to mention the high error rate narrative.

OMG I said this exact thing to my wife!
