Ed Asner, 91 RIP

Magic Number- 25

False. 11. Sox 4-0, Indians 2-2.

I just won’t be excited about this team until they’re one game from advancing to the ALCS. It just feel like 92 wins and gone in 3 or 4 in the DS.

It would be pretty disappointing if the Sox go to Cleveland not already having clinched. Sox will have 10 games left, and Indians will have 11. So…let’s be at least 2 games better than them between now and then. And when I say at least two, I mean five.

A split would be ok, but then really take care of the Cubs, Pirates, and Royals. No reason why this good team shouldn’t go 8-4 the next two weeks.

Still Burger

Nola 18 up 18 down vs Padres. 63 pitches. Would be sad or cool if his brother broke it up.

No, it’s Jake Burger.

5 of 15 is great the way it is 6 of 16 would be acceptable Anything more is pure trash in baseball after an almost daily 6 month season.

Nate Jones retired. The percentage of his career on the DL/IL has to be staggering.

40 homers and a 2.79 ERA in 100 innings pitched. Incredible.

Sox are going to clinch the division September 17 in Texas. Exactly 38 years after La Russa clinched his only playoff berth with the Sox.

Tigers are 54-54 when they don’t play the Sox. Should the 9-4 against them count because we put them 5 under?

70-50 looks good. 75-45 would look better. Get well, Chris Bassitt!

OT- that Karinchak not so tough after the crackdown

Ham & jam

Burr and Wright two innings each?

We’ll take the W tonight, but I hope Bassitt can come back and pitch again. Later this year, next year…just don’t be a career ender.

Magic Number- 34
