9/20 Crappy Poster Appreciation Thread & Game Chat

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

The dopes don’t need any more smoke blown up their asses. And LynnRice? Sure. He made a rotten season tolerable, but let’s not lose our shit here acting like he solved world hunger.

Today, we celebrate the shitposters. You know who we are. Banal. Quantity over quality. All hat no cattle fuckwits that add nothing and make us all dumber than when we started. Tell jokes that make nobody but ourselves laugh and then take a victory lap like we just shit fresh lemon poppyseed muffins.

Win one for us today, Sox. Because while the signal to noise ratio for SOSH is pretty high, this place doesn’t work without the rest of us. Shoveling the shit in the basement to keep the engines running, while the rest of you think you are too good to get your hands a little dirty.

And thus, at a streak of three, ended my game thread tradition of giving a single fuck.

Game 153
We won a game, but before we had flexed
our muscles in triumph, we lost the next.
I’m not upset, disappointed, or vexed.
I am accustomed to being perplexed
by the state of the Sox. Maybe we’re hexed.
10 games remain and after they’ve been exed
off of the schedule, we’ll pay our respects,
watch players collect their final paychecks,
keep track via SOSH threads, Twitter, and text,
hoping for moves that will restack the decks.
There’s a game today. It barely affects
our season at all. Still: Don’t get poleaxed.

Are we to appreciate crappy posters; or crappily appreciate posters?

 

[brandonchristensen]

I feel attacked.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Are we to appreciate crappy posters; or crappily appreciate posters?

Might as well be both. We are running out of games so seems like a good idea to double up.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Don’t forget it’s a 2pm start folks.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

I feel attacked.

Don't post that crap

 

[brandonchristensen]

Don't post that crap

It’s the best I got.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

It’s the best I got.

We appreciate that

I'm from the school of bad attention being better than no attention.

Were we in the same graduating class?

 

[Over Guapo Grande]

Someone called for me?

 

[absintheofmalaise]

It’s the best I got.

We know.

Here's my premier crappy post of the day:
I do not care for Rafaela in the lead-off position. Yet.

 

[Fishy1]

Verdugos slide toward offensive mediocrity has been hard to watch. Wish he'd had a better second-half

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Duvall! Crushed.

 

[Fishy1]

Man Duvall has just mashed this year

 

[InsideTheParker]

Duvall, you surprised me! Thank you.

 

[mauidano]

Wow. Duvall when he is right is crazy strong.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Man Duvall has just mashed this year

Not all year. He had been mired in a slump earlier this month.

 

[mauidano]

Gray was one pitch he thought from getting out of the inning unscathed.

 

[cornwalls@6]

Still a head scratcher that they built a retractable roof park, in 2020, and put in field turf.

 

[InsideTheParker]

The 1 pm start may not be ideal for Bello. Edit: on the other hand, very nice job there.

 

[mauidano]

Not good there Bello. Can't be walking the leadoff hitter who will easily take second.

 

[mauidano]

Had 'em all the way.

 

[mauidano]

ROBERT F. DALBEC! What a bomb!!!!!!

 

[cornwalls@6]

Boom!!

 

[InsideTheParker]

Good job by Bobby D.

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Verdugos slide toward offensive mediocrity has been hard to watch. Wish he'd had a better second-half

Is he still shaking out his right hand after every foul ball? Youks mentioned it the other night.

 

[JOBU]

Bobby Bombs!

 

[LogansDad]

Here's my premier crappy post of the day:
I do not care for Rafaela in the lead-off position. Yet.

I don't think he will ever be a guy I like as a leadoff, and I like him a lot as a player. I much prefer him in either the 2 or 5/6 hole, though.

 

[InsideTheParker]

If Cora remains, I think Urias loses his 2B spot to Reyes.

 

[The Gray Eagle]

I've been disappointed by Urias defensively when I've watched him. He was supposed to be good defensively at 2B but I haven't seen it yet.

 

[Harry Hooper]

I've been disappointed by Urias defensively when I've watched him. He was supposed to be good defensively at 2B but I haven't seen it yet.

He's looked better at 3B for sure.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Oopsie. Bello seemed to be having trouble with his pitch-com, put it back on and threw that.

 

[Fishy1]

I've been disappointed by Urias defensively when I've watched him. He was supposed to be good defensively at 2B but I haven't seen it yet.

He's been pretty average there by most advanced metrics. At 3B in Milwaukee I heard he was a disaster

 

[mauidano]

Okay Brayan; that wasn't necessary.

 

[The Gray Eagle]

He's looked better at 3B for sure.

It ended up really hurting that he couldn't catch that liner that was really catchable but called a hit.

 

[Harry Hooper]

If Cora remains, I think Urias loses his 2B spot to Reyes.

I'll reprise something I posted Monday:

On the radio they were discussing how Cora is a big supporter of Reyes. Alex told them Reyes would be playing more if the games mattered, but they are giving looks at other folks who have less time in Boston.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Bello has the highest ground ball rate in the AL, which is the worst thing you can have with this infield defense.

 

[LogansDad]

Gross

 

[ColdSoxPack]

Good visit Bush.

 

[mauidano]

JFC Bush! What did you say to Bello so he would give up the back to backs? Nice work.

 

[The Gray Eagle]

4-0 lead gone so quickly.

 

[barclay]

Day games suck

 

[The Gray Eagle]

Welp, if Bello is going to get pummeled there's really not much point in watching any more of this.
