  1. WTF are McGuire and Sheets doing in the lineup instead of Burger and Pollock? BTW I like how twitter deems Sox lineups "sensitive content"
  2. Literally the most enjoyable game of the season. It reminded my why I love baseball.
  3. Moncada had really good ABs tonight. Hopefully he's about to snap out of his funk.
  4. Who is taking his contract if he continues sucking? If he gets his shit together you don't want to move him anyway.
  5. Nice stroke from McGuire. That's not the only thing he's stroking.
  6. Pollock was really damn good last year and Moncada was solid. Of those 4 Eloy is the one that's shown the least.
  7. Montgomery has to be approaching T100 status.
  8. I'm going tonight. My dad is a Dodger fan so we'll be cheering for different teams.
  9. Idk. Maybe this will be the one that gets me to stop doing that. I set the board on fire and I'm like ohh I wish I didn't do that, that was no good.
  10. That's not what I was trying to say. It's more it's been 17 years, there are fans who were too young to remember it. Remember the good times we had, but don't turn them into the 85 Bears.
  11. Big time. I feel like I'm in an abusive relationship with my teams. When it ceases to be fun, it's a big issue. Sorry for taking it out on you guys. I bet a lot of you feel the same way.
  12. Sale didn't really help them though. He got injured in July and pitched out of the bullpen a couple times during that run. They didn't need Sale to win that year.
  13. I guess that's where we're different. The things that happened before and after change the narrative for me. The stuff that happened afterward matters to me Especially with the Hawks stuff. I tried to choose not to be a Hawks fan anymore. I watched another team for a month, couldn't get into the other team and then went back. There's just so much nasty stuff going on with Hockey right now, not just the Hawks, that makes me sick. I feel dirty for ever liking the sport. Like it somehow makes me a contemptible person for being a Hawks/hockey fan. One of my really good friends and I are friends because we like the Sox, hate the Cubs and like hockey. It's hard for me to turn off that switch. For ~3 years I've been trying to turn off my sports fandom. I can't do it. It's not fun anymore, and it's reflecting in my posting. In 2020 when there was no sports, I really liked what I was able to do with that time that I wasn't spending watching sports. Part of it too, is that a lot of my friendships are built around my hobbies, whatever they may be. I wish I could interact with people based on something that isn't just my special interest. The sad thing is, I don't really know how to do it because my life is different than most people. We are getting to a point where there is a segment of Sox fans that were too young to remember 2005. I'm sure they roll their eyes at us talking about that team the way I do about old timers talking about the '85 Bears. That's what I meant. The old memories of the sports teams of my youth are now diminished. Late 90s Bulls, 05 Sox, I don't get warm, fuzzy feelings thinking about watching those teams, for various reasons. Maybe that's why I shouldn't follow sports anymore. Don't even get me started about the Hawks.
