We've won 7 of our last ten games. We've gained zero games on both Cleveland and Minnesota in that stretch.Last edited by vegandork; 08-23-2020, 04:49 PM.

Come on. It was a 2-run homer vs a solo homer. It was edge-of-your-seat baseball for the first time in nearly a decade.
I wanted to see how the team would do against someone other than the Tigers and Royals. 2 out of 3 and a +11 run differential sure as hell makes me feel a lot better today than I felt Thursday.

OK, but the Cubs fell flat on their asses a few times, too.

The Cubs fell flatter, but they don't have a good offense, especially without Bryant. Which is why Cease's numbers are better than the effort he gave.

This was a disappointing, frustrating game. But going into this road series against a perennial playoff team that is in first place in their division, we would have all gladly taken 2-out-of-3 if it had been offered to us on Thursday.
I agree, rest Moncada. Put him on the 10 day IL."Hope...may be indulged in by those who have abundant resources...but those who stake their all upon the venture see it in its true colors only after they are ruined."

The solace is that we get the Pirates and the Royals next and should win ballgames. The problem is that we're not gonna gain ground by losing even one game in a series against the NL central teams because the Twins are keeping pace.

Still don’t think Cease should have come out for the sixth, but Ricky is going to Ricky.
Darvish has to be the front runner with Sonny Gray for the NL Cy Young so it’s not shocking that the offense couldn’t score.Riding Shotgun on the Sox Bandwagon since before there was an Internet...

Despite my user name, I'm not a doctor. However, Moncada had COVID-19. Clearly Moncada's not 100%. If his issues are CV related, maybe he should play two sit the third game.
Going into this series I was merely hoping they wouldn’t get swept. Once they won the first two, I wanted a sweep. 0-4 RISP & leaving Cease in too long ended hope of a sweep.Last edited by DrCrawdad; 08-23-2020, 09:32 PM.
