Not if you use cold water. Which is a good prescription for both teams, throw cold water in their faces to wake them up.
Happy Birthday, @YTF. The Sox owe you a present, so
GEAUX, SOX, FOR YTF!
Thanks for the shout out and B day acknowledgement. On the Cape enjoying the gorgeous weather. No NESN, but maybe we'll find a tavern for part of the game. May the RIGHT Sox win!!!

Urias is done for the year with a calf injury. Enmanuel Valdez back up.

Whatever.

Eh, to each their own. If I had one of those shirts, I'd wear it until it completely fell apart (which, knowing the sturdiness of those kinds of promo shirts, may only be a year or two). I'll bet they'll be available for cheap on eBay pretty soon.

Anyways, I saw Barbie in the theatre and almost choked laughing at least three times. Great flick. More fun to watch than anyone manning second base for the Sox this season.

He left a bad last impression with fielding woes at his supposedly strongest position. I say it's a coin flip he's non-tendered.

Meanwhile... is Wilyer Abreu OK?

I like mine.

Honest Question: What's wrong with cash grabs when it comes to items being sold at Fenway?

If you want what they are selling and can afford it, buy it. If not, don't.

I mean, the Sox are a business. I don't see anything wrong with a business owner making new items available for purchase.

I guess it's a worse look now than in prior periods inasmuch as JWH is investing less in the team. Hopefully, that will change soon. But I digress. And either way, sell whatever you want! Barbie stuff wouldn't interest me but different strokes. Right, @FlexFlexerson?

I just think the red Sox are bad enough that the shirt should be free. In any case, I'm just funnin'. I bought a Star wars night t shirt when I went to the Rockies star wars night this year and THAT'S a team that's genuinely unwatchable. So I get it.

I’d rather have them make more money by selling out the park. If only there was something they could do to solve that issue

Nothing stopping them from selling out the park AND selling shirts like these. It's not an either-or proposition, nor should it be.

FWIW, attendance in 2018 when they were winning more than ever was down from the year before, which was down from the year before that. The days of sell out streaks are long over.

Yes I understand that. But it’s obvious that they are having more of these theme nights to draw people to the ballpark. I would much rather have the on field product draw people to the ballpark. I’m not sure how many theme nights they had during the 800 game sellout streak but I’m going to say it was a lot less than current times. We shouldn’t have the need to do this 10 times a year. We aren't the Rockies.

Sox versus Sox in a season that’s been
disappointing to fans and to the men
we’ve seen at bat, on the mound, in the pen,
those we have paid in both dollars and yen,
and to those whom we might not see again.
Tonight, we will strive for some sort of Zen,
and honor a doll. I can’t recall when
we’ve had bigger news! Let’s call CNN!
An iconic legend. (No mousy hen.)
She’s gone to space, been an equestrienne,
a doctor, a model. She’s a real ten!
She’s not “Just a Girl.” (Just go and ask Gwen.)
If the B we wear stands for Barbie, then
I hope our hitters avoid K’s for Ken.

Take three balls, then take three strikes ... Robert must have been studying our batting techniques

What the hell is O'brien talking about? Every swing Raffy took for a "couple of weeks" was a home run cut? How about every swing all year?
