How can we get a "sell the team Jerry" commercial plastered all over NBCSC?

God this team is just ass. Nothing has changed. I'm about to stop watching games. I'm not subjecting myself to the bullshit for another summer.

If Diekman can remember how to throw a strike. Aren't these guys getting paid millions?

Dear Lord. Cruz gonna smash one and make it 11-7

Moncada just looks happier. And WHAT ABOUT BURGER!!!

Yeah, nothing is going the Sox way now.

Burger is the real MVP

We really should score 20 runs off Hill with how he's pitching. No reason not to.

You'd think gray would be just blah but there is something real sharp about it. Especially when there's black mixed in there. I also love the Pirate's combination of black and gold.

Nice leadoff smack by TA

If no one's gonna say it I will. Guck the Fiants.

So far, as a whole, this team feels like it did last year. A mediocre, up and down, .500 baseball team.

Yeah that sucked

I saw the writing on the wall that it just wasn't for me. When I graduated, I was newly married. I did not want all of my nights spent grading or lesson-planning instead of spending that time with my wife. I did not like how much work I was going to have to put in with getting so little pay to start (I received my degree in elementary ed). I also did not like the politics that came with teaching, as well as the lack of control teachers (in my area) have relating to how to teach what needs to be taught. Dealing with parents was rough. And, quite honestly, being in a room full of kids all day took a toll on me. I was not the same person coming out of student teaching as I was starting my degree. I flat out realized that this just wasn't for me. As far as managing living expenses...helps when you have dual income and super cool in-laws that allow you to live at their place almost rent-free for 2 years until you're able to get on your feet again. My wife and I don't make bookoo bucks, never have and never will, but we learned how to manage money and just worked our way up at the places we eventually ended up in (she also went for teaching and decided to move in a different direction). So, a combination of being wise with money and receiving help from some very generous and accommodating individuals. I tried a few different jobs after student teaching and eventually landed at a non-profit, where I now manage a Warehouse. The thing with receiving a teaching degree, is you gain a lot of different kinds of skills that make you valuable in many different types of roles. You learn how to be a professional, how to communicate, how to organize, and probably most important of all, how to LEARN. Most employers that aren't super-highly specialized would kill to have people like that all over their orgs. We have found that we value making enough money to be able to support our lifestyle, give in areas we are passionate about, and save for the future. Chasing money is not in the cards for us. We also value being able to have time to enjoy this life, because you just never know when the clock is up, as morbid as that sounds. So far, it's worked for us. Of course there have been bumps in the road we've had to overcome...

Sheets saw that curveball really well. Especially on 0-2

Now I don't feel like it was a waste of money buying that Moncada City Connect jersey last year

Game to forget for Crawford. Let's go Moncada!!

Please keep throwing high sinkers

Crawford having not a great game defensively. Where's Correa when you need him?

I did lol

Thank God

Need to get ahead and throw strikes. Getting outs is a lot more difficult otherwise. Lopez about to give em a free run.

Dear Lord this pen is awful.

He's slower than Konerko. That's saying something.

@Texsox thanks for sharing all of your experiences, knowledge and insight. I went to school for teaching. Completed my student teaching, did very well, ultimately decided to go in another direction. My degree and what I've learned has helped me find other jobs, so it wasn't a waste, but I knew at the end that I would not enjoy the profession. It would be a disservice to both myself and the students.
