*OFFICIAL* 8/22 Abreu delivers Frater a Happy Birthday SOX 7 CHADS 4 Postgamer

[Frater Perdurabo]

Ok, Jose, you can keep your full time job.

[vegandork]

5 homers in less than a 24 hour span against the Cubs. Bet Jose can't wait to lace them up tomorrow.

Great game offensively, Renteria really made that interesting with his pen management

[voodoochile]

This team... wow...

That was fun. Ninth inning had my blood pumping.

Jose Abreu... I have a huge mancrush on you....

Sometimes leaders gotta lead.

7 in a row.
6 games over.
1 game back.

This team has serious early 2000s power vibes right now. And this version even has solid pitching to support it. We're getting to the point where it would be almost impossible not to make this expanded playoff field.

Someone changed the owner of Wrigley on Wikipedia.

How so? He did exactly what should have been done. The fact Marshall and Colome struggled a bit notwithstanding.

3.5 game lead over the 9th place team currently. Little early to be standings watching but right now they are in.

Gio should not have faced the last batter
Colome should not have been in with a 4 run lead

I also don’t like Marshall in the 8th. Just leaves so many pitches in the Zone, he’s lucky Schwarber only singled

[FielderJones]

Jose Abreu: diminished skills, bad contract? I think not!

I keep waiting for Marshall to bottom out and he keeps chugging right along. Gio did just fine getting us through 7. Colome was warmed up when the team had a 2-run lead and told he's pitching and honestly he needs the work. He hasn't had many save opportunities recently and with a day off Monday and Thursday he could probably appear in every game through Friday.

Record in games that Leury Garcia started: 6-9

Record in games without Leury Garcia: 10-2

Soon as I made that diminished skills post he started going ape. But at the time I made it, that's where he was. Better than ever, Jose!

[A. Cavatica]

Has there been any injury update on Bummer?

Yeah, he had a .701 OPS through his first 21 games. Then he got white-hot for 7 games.
