Suppertime, again!

[InsideTheParker]

Travis, Owings, and Lakins. Will this lawfirm help save the season?
The firm of Bogaerts, Martinez, Devers, and Betts has more billable hours, but it takes all sorts, apparently.

Anyway, let us assemble again to see what these salvage artists can accomplish.
Onward and Upward!

New occasions teach new duties; Time makes ancient good uncouth;
They must upward still, and onward, who would keep abreast of Truth;
Lo, before us gleam her camp-fires! we ourselves must Pilgrims be,
Launch our Mayflower, and steer boldly through the desperate winter sea,
Nor attempt the Future's portal with the Past's blood-rusted key.
----James Russell Lowell, 1819-1891

Will be at the game with my 9 year old daughter. She is super excited about it. Me too. A win tonight would be fantastic.

 

[santadevil]

Might as well win again, just to keep it interesting

I can't stop now
Move up a little higher
Some way, or somehow

Gee, I wish I knew when these games started ... or even if this what date this game thread was for.

I remember earlier in the season when some poster made a big deal about not being told the game time in the opening post, and so folks started adhering to their request in order not to get chastised about being forgetful.

Takes a pretty big fucking hypocrite to complain about what other people do ... then to do it themselves

 

[StupendousMan]

I'd rather see poetry in the opening post of a game thread than the starting time.

 

[Ale Xander]

Game time is 7:10. Erod going for his 14th win. Wojo on the mound for the orange birdies.

P.S. If anyone going to the game sees any Machado jerseys, it''s your job to heckle the wearer.

Are you under the impression that supper takes place at 1:00 pm? Because where I was brought up, it was always in the evening. If your experience varies, I heartily apologize. I went out of my way to name the threads by the start times, as I understood them.

and a Red Sox win

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Houston is not helping us out at all against Oakland...

 

[shawnrbu]

Sale to the IL. Thats worrisome.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Houston is not helping us out at all against Oakland...

I didn’t realize it but Oakland has been bending over for Houston since 2016, until this series. As for the Sox, like a parent might say to an underachieving kid: “you’ve got nobody to blame but yourself.”

 

[Al Zarilla]

Sale to the IL. Thats worrisome.

Goddammit.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

i can feel the balloon deflating. is the 2020 balloon also deflating...?

 

[Al Zarilla]

My wife’s birthday and off to a Greek restaurant in Palo Alto. No effing around Edro and mow the pricks down.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

There won’t be any miracle comeback with Johnson and Valazquez making up 2/5 of the rotation the final six weeks.

Is that Steven Wright’s music I hear?

Speaking of pie, we picked up Key Lime Pie on the way home from the Berkshires. Oh, my.

Such bad news about Sale. Just heard it.

 

[S. H. Frog]

God I hope not.

 

[boxosII]

efficient Eduardo

 

[S. H. Frog]

That was smoked.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Stupid wall.

I’m not sure you understand how miracles work.

 

[Sprowl]

Edro eficiente

 

[budcrew08]

If we’re lucky, Sale comes back in a week and a half and we’re good. If not, 2021 could be interesting. Sale might be throwing 101 by then.

 

[strek1]

Nice job by VAZ!

 

[S. H. Frog]

Vazquez really hung in there for that single.

 

[S. H. Frog]

JBJ got robbed.

 

[phrenile]

JBJ got robbed.

Turnabout is fair play.

 

[S. H. Frog]

The slider that got Betts to pop up had a ton of bite on it.

 

[S. H. Frog]

It's like Moreland knew Rodriguez wouldn't get to the bag in time.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Rodriguez needs to be talked to about covering first.

 

[phrenile]

Very nice.

 

[InsideTheParker]

That play by X is why we tune in.

 

[phrenile]

I tune in for the silence of muting O'Brien.

 

[S. H. Frog]

That play by X is why we tune in.

Totally true.

 

[strek1]

Dave O'Brien - Jinx extraordinaire!

 

[InsideTheParker]

Hmmm. Asher W---ski is handling the Sox again.

 

[InsideTheParker]

That "delightful breeze" in Fenway has knocked out the satellite here. Any updates appreciated.

 

[S. H. Frog]

C'mon Rodriguez. Get this guy.

 

[S. H. Frog]

That "delightful breeze" in Fenway has knocked out the satellite here. Any updates appreciated.

Rodriguez gets up 0-2 on some Orioles guy, then goes 3-2, then a couple of foul balls, then walks him.

 

[S. H. Frog]

The Orioles guy was Mancini.

 

[strek1]

What's worse than walking the Leadoff batter? - Getting him in the hole 0-2 and then walking him.

 

[Harry Hooper]

Timid approach there.

 

[phrenile]

Almost.

 

[S. H. Frog]

Rodriguez gets up 0-2 on the next Orioles guy, too. Then starts throwing balls. It's 1-2, and he gets a comebacker, which Holt grabs, tags second, and throws away, but not into the dugout. Man on first, one out.

 

[S. H. Frog]

Rodriguez, for a change starts the next Orioles guy off 1-1, then gets a flyout to right. Man on first, two outs. Maybe that 1-1 is the key.
