9/14 -Win please?

[LynnRice75]

Thanks to all who commented on the poem(s). I’m glad people still like them.
Hard to believe I’ve written this many and we’re nearly back to 500 ball.
Had hoped the poems would lead us to the promise land and that I’d write more than 162. Looks like I’ll be forced to stop at there unless the rain washes away a few that don’t matter.

no start time announced.

It’s really a bummer that your creative spark and execution was used on this season.

Look at it this way: they helped us get through this disappointing season.

 

[Ale Xander]

8:12, cmon send the people home to come back tomorrow!

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Would they do another doubleheader tomorrow?

I know several Fenway ushers and security personnel. They are pretty upset with the way the team has handled weather this year. (And it’s been a rough weather year).

They know it’s pretty wet tonight until after 9:30. That they haven’t called it is tough for us, but really tough for those who work games.

It’s rained pretty much every day this summer, I’m not sure what they could really do.

Im pretty sure its not the Sox call alone. MLB HQ probably has large amount of say as well.

It's been a heroic effort.

 

[mauidano]

How do you even start to play this game at this point? What a shitshow from all involved in the decision-making process.

It's 2:45 pm here and I am bemoaning that the rest of my day and dinner will be dictated by this nonsense.

There's few bright spots to enjoy this season, but your work is definitely one.

Obviously to be better at doing the rain no dance, duh

 

[mauidano]

You really feel for the workers at Fenway; all of them. There are folks who have families that gotta get up to get the kids off to school, the elderly who it's WAY past their bedtime and of course, the ballplayers who spend the entire day sitting in the locker room.

Your poems have been wonderful this season. And, perhaps unfortunately for the home town team, more enjoyable than the games on the field of late.

Maybe next season you can try limericks?

Replace "Bobby Dalbec" with "Bugs Bunny" and I'd be all for it.

[The Gray Eagle]

Great, that means we can get swept by the Yankees in 2 doubleheaders in 3 days.

 

[soxhop411]

My reaction when it was announced the sox game was postponed again

 

[E5 Yaz]

@PeteAbe
Sox will pitch Houck and TBA tomorrow


There's a chance it will be Dalbec!!!

Wouldn’t they be there just the same if the game was played?

true, ushers and hawkers aren’t getting their tips but they will get an extra payday when the game is made up.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

I think Cora will save Whitlock for Game 2 and use him after starting an opener like Walter. Houck going more than 5 innings in the first game would be nice.

1. Ceddanne Rafaela (R) CF
2. Rafael Devers (L) 3B
3. Justin Turner (R) DH

6. Adam Duvall (R) RF

Looks like you got Bloom fired. I hope you're happy putting a father and the breadwinner of the family out of work.

If I were behind this, I would have done it betwenn July 4 and Labor Day, so my poll answer would have been right

 

[brandonchristensen]

I expect a double L and a slide below 500.

But hey - fire the GM.

 

[brandonchristensen]

Hey there's Cora leaning on the wall. Nice!

 

[mauidano]

Florial tautnting Ceddanne.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

A hit with a runner in scoring position!

 

[mauidano]

How about that? A lead!

 

[Rovin Romine]

Sounds like Youk is angling for a job as hitting coach.

It's sounded to me that way all year, but I don't think he wants to leave CA, where his business is and his kids go to school.

More of an idle comment on my part given the management shakeup. I do like it when Youk talks hitting. Monaco gets him there more easily than DOB does.

Not a chance. Take a look across the filed and the MFY's dugout and see how it's going for Sean Casey.

Players seem to like the change.

I'll be curious as to how AC handles it in the post-game presser.

Anybody know Youk's "favorite rat story" they just referred to?

No comment?

 

[mauidano]

Why was Story not in motion?

 

[brandonchristensen]

Why was Story not in motion?

Because Cora is a lousy coach

 

[strek1]

Can't stand walks, especially leadoff walks. Especially to bottom of
the order guys!

Edit: Fortunately no damage this time.

 

[Rovin Romine]

Looks like a typical Houck start so far. Let's hope it ends in an atypical fashion.

 

[InsideTheParker]

OK I know this is a radical take, but this kid Rafaela is pretty good. (Forgive my ignorance, but who got him for the Sox---Bloom?)
