OT: Other Sports 76

[ChiHawks10]

Give in to your hate. Join the dark side, where nothing ever goes right and everything sucks. You’re always welcome.

Sorry, I prefer to not be absolutely miserable in life on account of some entertainment going my way or not.

 

[HeisenBaez]

He's a starter on a non-playoff team but a 3rd "big" on a playoff team. After his rookie year, he has been a big ball of meh for me. Get something for him and let him become MJ's mistake.

So you have chosen death…

 

[Pez68]

The NFL continues to show the league is full of morons. Does any other league have this big of a problem with vaccine adoption??



Kirk Cousins showing he's the latest dumb f*** player.

 

[madgoat33]

Cousins isnt good enough to go through all the hassle. Thank god the vikings dont have anyone capable of an honest evaluation of him though, lest they might be liable to cut him.

 

[HeisenBaez]

Baez strike out five times today for the Mets. SMH.

I save any misery for my sports teams in postseason defeats. If they suck during the regular season, I'll temper the amount I watch (especially baseball), but if my teams are playing well, or in first place, there's really no need to over-analyze each and every game and player. Sox can beat any team on any day, and I'll just wait and see how that works out come playoff time.

Only 5?

 

[hawksrule]

Before that he had 2hr in 3 games, and stole the go ahead run last night with a great slide into home. You take the good with the bad.

 

[Cowch]

f*** sox really needed to pick up one of those runs

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Sox now losing 3-1 in 7th as offense is yet again MIA

Moncada no hits thus far again

Only glimmer of hope is that Abreu with another solo HR.. So he is starting to make contact on balls

 

[madgoat33]

Offense is looking putrid.

 

[Sarava]

this offense is hard to watch. I wish they addressed it at the deadline. Oh well, get the Cubs tomorrow

 

[Ace Rothstein]

If Moncada has some nagging injury then just sit him as he's a black hole currently.

He's still dealing with long COVID.

FIFY.

Yeah I said that the other day. I see no reason to not sit him for a few weeks. It's not like the team will miss his o-for's. Give him some rest and see if it helps? the dude was scorching hot early in the season and it's just not there not anymore. I do wonder if he has longterm COVID as ndgt10 said.

 

[Jussi]

Markkanen wants out of Chicago:

Lauri Markkanen haluaa pois Chicago Bullsista, paljastaa Ylelle saaneensa tarjouksia useista seuroista – "Haluan uuden startin NBA-uralleni" | Yle Urheilu | yle.fi

"We have offers from several teams. I want a new start for my NBA career somewhere else. I hope we can get things with Chicago in order quickly and a new path for my career."

I dont really think moncada has been scorching hot at any point this season. He was walking a whole lot And his obp was over 400 early, but his slg has been 400-420ish just about the whole year...

Playing the weaker teams isn't quite so easy anymore. Since the Sox took 2 of 3 from Houston out of the break, and showed some signs of really playing well, they've gone 7-10, mostly against teams like Minn and KC that they should be pounding.

Hopefully they won't disgrace themselves against a Cubs minor league team this weekend. Esp. with a rare national tv game Sun night.

 

[HeisenBaez]

WS, I swear that if your team loses to the lineup the Cubs put out today, you should feel great shame.

You guys are getting that crappy crosstown series trophy, so congrats, I guess. But it's not cool to beat up the defenseless (ie the "Cubs").

Welcome to what we had to endure for 4-5 years when you guys were one of the best teams (and the best in '16) in the league and we were dog shit.

And this is baseball. The Sox had pretty good success against the Cubs even in those lean years in the crosstown series. Sox just lost a series to a 60 loss Royals team. Anything can happen.

The Cubs are basically the Iowa Cubs. Something called a Schwindel and a Diechmann (I know, I know the Cubs got him for Chafin) are basically headlining this lineup.

The WS in the last 4-5 years also had guys like Tim Anderson and Moncada in the lineup to look forward to playing. Do I look forward to seeing Ian Happ or Greg Diechmann, or Sergio Alcanatara?

Talk to me next season. You guys literally traded everyone away 2 weeks ago and Moncada didn't show up till late August in 2017. It was literally Tim Anderson, Jose Abreu and dog shit. When guys like Madrigal, Pete Crow-Armstrong (down the road) etc. are around, I'm sure the tone will change.

Also why isn't Contreras in this game? Hendricks doesn't like him catching him? day off? injury? That guy absolutely KILLS the Sox.
