I remember playing under the lights all through my teenage years and never "losing one in the lights" but I did lose one once in the setting sun in Fort Erie, just across the river from Buffalo. I was playing right field, looking due west into a blazing sunset, and a lefthanded batter hit a line drive at me and I lost it immediately, so I had to set up where I thought the ball was headed and it hit me in the forearm which was pretty good route recognition on my part, I thought at the time. Most importantly though, it did not hit me in the nuts.

That seems doable now, a week ago it was a fantasy. I look at those division standings and I see the possibility, 4 weeks from now, of being in second place.

That is very odd isn't it. You would think that a key task for the MLB office would be to set broadcasting standards to require the highest quality and best revenue potential for each franchise. I'm surprised that Roger Goodell hasn't done that, it would seem...oh, wait. I'm sorry...it's Rob Manfred isn't it. Sorry...just ignore me.

Yeah, it feels like 2 wins every time when it is in the division.

36-47 looks so much different from 30-47, it really does. Now we need to see a 45-34 finish from here, for a .500 season. The keys are Torkelson and Baddoo, guys who did not contribute anything during the first half.

Always nice to deliver crushing disappointment to the Dix.

Fulmer loves his slider tonight. I don't.

Would have preferred to send Joe J back out for the 8th too.

I feel sick already.

Don't you worry about Riley Greene. Everything changed the day that he got here, and he's got a lot more glove than anyone told us about.

Foley didn't pitch well, but he did get screwed on his inherited runners.

Here's Tyler Alexander

Foley don't cock this up.

Yeah...a month ago I would have taken Haase out behind the barn and shot him, but I really have to admire how he has turned things around. Now it's Grossman, yes he is a Hinch guy or so we were told last year, but guys in the clubhouse have to know that there is a limit, and that trying to win is the priority.

Lol fire your weapon Blyth!

Joe J struck out 2 guys in an 8 pitch inning.

This all started with 2 out.

New game!

Conklin: Let's ask Marie what she thinks. Bourne: Marie's dead. Conklin: I'm sorry to hear that...how did that happen? Bourne: She was slowing me down.

Wow, what a thrill. I've never seen that before.

Yes and I love a catcher named Crouch.

That's shocking. I have not heard that he died though...have you?

Hey the Sox have Reese McGuire, he's the guy who was caught choking the snake in a grocery store parking lot. Let's let him hear about it!
