Back to .500

The Red Sox lost again last night and they are now back to .500. They are also now 5½ games out of the wildcard, tied with the Tigers.

They keep losing and it's looking more & more like September 29^th will be their last game of the 2024 season.

Then again, maybe they'll suddenly remember how to play good baseball and go on a 10 game winning streak. Stranger things have happened...

They are off tonight while they return to Boston where tomorrow they will start a three-game series against the White Sox.

Speaking of going down...

Not sure why it decided to drop today. Maybe Powell gave a speech somewhere.

One of my neighbors are democrats. I know they are democrats because they always have political signs in their front yard shilling for any democrat that is running for office.

They currently have a "Harris - Walz" sing in their front yard.

But none of that means they don't have a sense of humor.

They also have this sign in their front yard.

Cammy is their dog. Cammy is a good girl. I'm voting for Cammy.

Another loss

The Royals are on a seven game losing streak. They are shoving the wildcard slot down the Red Sox throats but it just seems the Red Sox aren't interested.

Last night, it was the batters and the bullpen that failed. They lost to the Mets 7-2 but comitted no errors. They just couldn't hit the ball.

Tonight Houck has the start. First pitch is at 7:10

I'm about to give up on the baseball season

With last nights 4-1 loss to the Mets, the Red Sox have fallen back to 4½ games out of the wildcard. The only highlight last night was the Royals loss.

With a six game losing streak, the Royals are going out of their way to hand the wildcard to the Red Sox but the Red Sox just don't seem to want it.

Tonights game has Crawford as the starter. Hopefully he has a better outing than Bello did last night.

First pitch is at 7:10.

Remember back in 2020 when Donald "I can do anything I want!" Trump was ranting and raving about "election interference"?

Turns out he was right...

Basically, Trump claims that any election interference he may have committed was perfectly legal. I'm not saying he did this but I assume this interference includes things like voter fraud or paying voters to vote for him.

He pretty much claims everything he does is perfectly legal.

Today was the day that Massachusetts held it's primary elections.

This was the democrat party ballot for my town:

This was the republican party ballot for my town:

Can someone explain to me why I would need to vote? Every seat except one is unopposed and since we are a one-party state (democrat), it doesn't matter who wins that race.

A loss tonight will be bad

The Guardians beat the Royals which gave the Red Sox a half game bump, to 4 games out of the wildcard.

If the Red Sox can beat the Mets this evening, they will move back to 3½ games out of the wildcard.

So anyways, first pitch is at 7:10 and Bello has the start.

Apparently they can't win on the road either

The Red Sox lost to the Tigers 4-1 today, losing the series and falling back in the wildcard.

They are now 4½ games out of the wildcard and things are looking bleak.

They have 25 games left in their season and they need to win half those games if they want to finish above .500. I suspect they will need to win 15 of those games if they want to get into the playoffs.

I do not think they have it in them to win 15 of those 25 games but I would be happy to be proven wrong.

Tomorrow they go to Queens to start a three game series against the Mets, a team that has been having a similar season and currently has a slightly better record than the Red Sox.
