You Gotta Have Heart from Damn Yankees has been stuck in my head for more than a damn month.
Why you ask? I was a Theater kid growing up and my parents sent me an old photo from 6th grade in which I was in my school’s performance of Damn Yankees.

Both teams are now 73-72. I have to be at tomorrow's game. I would prefer that we not be at the bottom of the scoreboard in left.
I have been grateful all summer for the wonderful rain, thinking it so much better than those parts of the world frying in drought. But now enough is too much.
I am much more concerned about my winter squash crop than the fate of the Sox at this point, but I do think both are at risk of being waterlogged.
There may be openings between the storms enough for play tonight, but I am not counting on it. Another double header on Thursday seems more likely.
I wonder how much the double header affected Cora's decisions last night. Like not wanting to pinch-hit for the tired Wong b/c of having to bring in the tired McG to play the rest of the game after he'd played 9 innings earlier? Etc.
Am I the only one who thinks that except for the youngsters, the Sox look tired? Or am I just projecting?

At this time of the year everybody's dinged up. Oh, that's football, but I wouldn't entertain any excuses for our boys.
I've been thinking a bit about 1978 and the Boston Massacre. Let's not make this a mini-massacre without all the runs scored. In other words, win a game!
We're even missing Cole (but I don't know if that's good or bad).
This team and last year's squad went through prolonged slumps. Sure, at this point of the year you could say tired, but I think it runs deeper than that. Lack luster, uninspired, at times unaware...Depending on the makeup of the team, losing can certainly contribute to those attributes, but I'm suspecting that it's the opposite.

Brock Holt is in the sox clubhouse

Did Brock Holt ever win the Clemente award? Nope, that year it went to Carlos Carrasco:

It's a shame Holt didn't win, though Carrasco seemed deserving.

It's been a wretched slide, but this is still the red Sox and they're still playing the Yankees. If it's a battle for the cellar, better them than us down there. After all, unlike the yankees we have some fresh souls that I think we'd rather hang onto:

"So it looks like the red/pink combo is a good aura for a utility player. In the next installment, we’ll look into pitchers and other positions."
Anyone else fitting that mold on this years revolving roster? Maybe Justin Turner?
BTW, miss the great writing you did on the sosh dot com.
Game 146
Two losses in one day moved us to the cellar.
We’re buried so deep, we’d appeal to Ross Gellar.
We’re approaching at-bats like we’re Helen Keller,
flailing and failing like we’re facing Bob Feller,
It’s like joining the Bee, when you’re a bad speller
or trying to fly with a wobbly propeller.
I could start chants or scream, but I’m not a yeller.
We’re in need of some magic! Call Penn and Teller.
After today, there will be only one dweller.
If it’s them and not us, that sure would be stellar.
I want “water” to wash my withered umbreller.

Imma miss these. If he had been a member here and lived long enough, I think that Bart Giamatti would have included missing the game poems in his "anxieties" about the end of the year.
Totally disagree. The off-season is long and I miss baseball all winter. For me, any day the Sox play baseball is better than any day that they don’t. Other than Thanksgiving. I really like Thanksgiving.
They weren't leapfrogging Toronto, lol.
Meanwhile...

Hey, I agree with every word of your post. How often does that happen?
Anyway, it's a shame, out here 2 hours W of Fenway, it's lovely and has been for hours. The sky to the East is very pink. Pink sky at night, sailor's delight....
So do the rest of the guys test now? Pretty small confines in a dugout or bullpen.
This. Did your family have to give away one fraternal twin? Possible it was me.
If you have mlbn and want to watch some sparkling defense, tune in Directv 213-1. The Blue Jays are showing off some great glovework.
So that’s why I heard the whispers of “we gave away the wrong one” for most of my childhood!
I suppose that there has been no mention of a possible start time or you guys would have mentioned it?
