In exciting news, in the 9th inning tonight, the Red Sox scored a run!

Mighty thumpers!

Goodbye, Joe Girardi.

I hope the Phillies' management does not expect this change to bring a substantial change in their fortunes this year.

Havent been following the vaccination news but this weekend Max Kepler and THREE relief pitchers are missing the trip to Toronto

Kyrie is a bigger deal when he does almost anything, but he was also more essential to his team than Kepler and the bullpen squad are.


It was a mildly deal for Tanner Houck. And one of the 76ers had to skip a game in Toronto, but I don't remember his name.
And no, it was a pretty big deal with Aaron Rodgers does it.

From collegiate baseball (a bit of a joke this year with juiced baseballs) - not one but TWO players yesterday hit homers from both sides of the plate - IN THE SAME INNING.  Once in 100 years type thing twice in one day.  Anyway...Vandy in losers bracket.  Tough road ahead.  And both my picks somehow ended up in same bracket.  Tennessee the class of the tourney.  Wagers are Vandy 9-1 and Oregon State 6-1.  Pulling also for UCONN and ND.

A pretty good review of how they got to where they are.

I'd bet a good bit that Kyle Schwarber wishes he had resigned with the Red Sox at this point!

I suspect that none of the Red Sox will make it across the Bay to see tonight's Celtics game, unlike Verdugo on Thursday night!

$60,000 for a single court side seat on Thursday. A lot of money. I wonder if tonight's would be less.

Michael Wacha had only had 1 complete game before this in his career - 2017.

The rest of the league has 3 cg. The Red Sox have 3 cg. No other team has 2.

First Joe Girardi, then Joe Maddon.

No more Joes to be fired.

Who else is on the hot seat?!

(No, Kid, "Joey" Cora is not a Joe, except to you.)

As with the Phillies, so with the Angels (so far). They seem more engaged to this point.

More engaged they may have been, but they still managed to lose first the lead in the 7th and then the game in the 10th. The Red Sox are now 2-7 in extra innings.

But watch out for the Cleveland Guardians!

Dalbec at 3rd, Vasquez at 1st.

1-0 after 8 innings, though this was not the tightly pitched game of two nights ago.

Good baseball for those not obsessed with tons of homers.
