Good luck to ya.

Yesterday I mentioned that I thought it was time for the Red Sox to cut ties with Bello. Well, I guess the Red Sox are not ready to cut ties with him. Instead, they are giving him a chance to rehabilitate himself down in Worcester.

Look, I get it, they have a lot of money invested in the kid and they don't want to just throw it away. Instead they want to give him a chance to get his shit together and come back as the potential ace they thought he was.

I just don't think he really wants to rehabilitate himself. I think he's going to show up in Worcester and pout and whine and piss & moan about how Tracy & Breslow are jerks who just don't understand.

I have a feeling we have seen the last of Bello in a Red Sox uniform. He'll spend June & July in Worcester and on August 3rd at the trade deadline, they will trade him to the Marlins for a bag of baseballs and maybe a new set of golf clubs.

Damn shame because all of us Red Sox fans had high hopes for him when they signed him to that 5 year, $55 million contract back in 2024.


In case you ever wondered what a bad day in the stock market looks like, wonder no more:

The DJIA is down 1.3 percent.

The S&P 500 is down 2.7 percent.

The Nasdaq is down 4.2 percent.

The Very Stable Genius is doing a great job with the economy. Many people tell him this is the best economy ever. Past presidents have called him and said they wished that they had as great an economy as he does. This is a huuuuge economy, bigger than any other economy. Bigger than Lincoln, bigger than Washington.

One step forward...

...two steps back.

The Red Sox won last night, beating the Orioles 8-1.

The Red Sox lost today, getting beat 8-2 by the Orioles.

Right now they are on their way to the Bronx where tomorrow they will start a 3-game series against the New York Aaron Judges.

My hopes have dipped back down to little or none.

For the record, I think it's time for the Red Sox to cut ties with Bello and move on. He flat out sucks.

Well, so much for gaining ground

The Orioles beat the Red Sox 4-2 last night and they are now 3 games behind the Orioles.

The Red Sox placed Sogard on the IL today with "soreness in his side" and they have called up one of their prospects named Anthony Seigler.

Here is a list of the other players currently on the IL:

Yes, there is baseball this evening

The Orioles and the Red Sox will play this evening. First pitch is at 6:45 and Early has the start.

This is, in my opinion, an important series for the Red Sox. If they can win this series, they will possibly move past the Orioles in the ALEast standings.

No baseball today

Thankfully I still have plenty of Gold Rush DVRs to watch.


15 years ago, we got tornado'd.

We also took our oldest child for his first of many chemotherapy treatments.

All-in-all, it was a pretty shitty time in our lives but we came out of it intact.
