Just tuning in. Love that this team just won't let themselves get taken off life support this season. That's sounds snide, but I'm being sincere. The team has its flaws, but they don't give up. And the results can be days like today.
Agree. Being in the race for as long as possible is fun! I think the “championship or bust” folks may even agree, a little bit.

Pretty ridiculous how the 2023 Sox offense has crushed most of the best pitchers in baseball yet for the full season are only barely above average

I'm stuck listening to the Houston feed. They say their bullpen is thin.
Maybe this is hoping for too much from this Sox team in the 3rd inning, but inflicting damage to the Astors' bullpen that extends into their *next* series would be helpful, too.

I watched the majority of the last 3 games. Sox only came back last night after I tuned out. Haven't been watching this one and we're up 8-0. Guess I'm not tuning in today, either!

In the 32-inning game that the PawSox had in 1981, the official scorer used one score card with different color inks for the extra innings overlap, i.e., the 1st inning was used three times, etc.

This season is like one of those relationships where you think, OK, we're done, it's not gonna work out, but then you have a good weekend and stay together, and it goes on and on like that.
And then you threaten to leave but she winds up pregnant only for it to turn out to be a fake pregnancy so you leave anyways and then your tires get slashed and she starts sleeping with all your friends.

Speaking from experience...?

Shit I’m tuning in late. But it’s the third inning and everyone has a hit already. Impressive
