I’m aware. But still... are they really expected to be in a playoff spot three months from now?

I’m so fucking embarrassed. Granted you can’t expect too much from Darwinzon on his first career start, but this team is gonna go from winning the World Series one year to getting swept by the Gers at home (watch it happen) the next.

Jesus Christ. Losing to the Gers is a special kind of hurt.

Wtf?!? That’s crazy as shit. Hopefully he’s ok.

Gatdamn, this team is frustrating to watch this year.

Chris Sale is still good. Immaculate, even. (Joins Lefty Grove as the only other pitcher to throw two immaculate innings in one season.) Oh, and he threw a shutout. Does MLB still keep track of that stat?

Still hurts seeing Oli in blue. Even more so now.

Don’t get swept? Please??? Also, Darwinzon got called up. Bullpen could definitely use a strong, young lefty this season.

Defense and intuitive baserunning haven’t been the Sox strength these last two games.

Not a good sign for David Price.

Well, at least Xander tried to make up for such a shitty night defensively. This Sox team just can’t find that fifth gear. They’re good, but not on the ‘Stros level (for now, at least).

Per Pete Abraham: Very nice of the Astros to pay tribute to Nick Cafardo. Their media relations director Gene Dias went to the same HS as Nick (Whitman-Hanson) and they were good buddies. Now, let’s get a win tonight. I refuse to believe Wade Miley will stay *this* good over the course of the whole season. I’m going to the game Sunday (E-Rod vs -gulp- Verlander), and might end up snagging tickets for Saturday as well. This weekend is the last time these teams will meet this (regular) season. Go Sox.

That’s a BIG if. Honestly, you keep the young, hot bat in there until it gets cold. If Pedroia miraculously comes back, he’s going to have to be eased back ever so gently. Maybe he just becomes a $15mil/year bench guy. Hell, he did even less last year and it somehow worked out. But for now, let’s keep riding that ICE HORSE!

Fun fact: The last time the Sox hit multiple go-ahead HR in extra innings of the same game was Apr. 29, 1951 at Philadelphia (Dom DiMaggio-11th, Tom Wright-12th).

Probably should’ve waited to post that. My jinx juju still works, apparently.

Mookie Betts is good at baseball. Also, Raffy Devers is still only 22 years old. That’s crazy. His May so far: .350/.391/.625 with 6 homers, 10 XBH, and 10 Ks in 80 PAs.

Glad for Workman to get his first save. The Sox clearly aren’t as good as the Astros right now, but hopefully they stay hot thru the week (when the Sox visit Houston). Kind of a fun interdivisional rivalry they got going. Now, onto Toronto for four. 3 of 4 there is attainable.

Great outing, Velázquez! Fucking hell. Just don’t get swept tomorrow.

Well, at least Obamayang gets a Golden Boot. Let's finish the job on the 29th.
