Not sure how often this happens beyond 20 games played, but right now one team in each league leads in both Runs Scored and Runs Allowed.
AL - #Astros
RS: 135
RA: 150
NL - #Nationals
RS: 136
RA: 147
Both teams lead 2nd place in RA by 20+ runs.
It’s unlikely, but a Nats-Astros WS might be wild.
Also it’s the 10th time (out of 23) #RedSox offense scored 2 or fewer runs in a game.
Yankees have Fried tomorrow and Schlittler on Thursday, so not great for turning around the offensive woes…but it’s baseball, so hopefully something weird happens.
#RedSox forget to bring the bats to the ballpark again and lose 4-0 to the Yankees.
Sox can only manage 4 hits tonight.
It’s the 7th time (out of 23) this season Sox hitters manage just 5 or fewer hits in a game.
Is there an anti-steroids test Sox hitters should be taking?
This will not happen, but it would be very amusing if Starmer re-appointed Kim Darroch as UK Ambassador to the US.
#RedSox are 7-0 in their Fenway green City Connect uniforms since debuting them last year
Sox are 16-9 on Monday morning games (Patriots’ Day) this century
Fixing team is therefore simple:
Red Sox play all games on Monday mornings wearing their Fenway green City Connect uniforms
You’re Welcome!
#RedSox beat Tigers 8-6 on Patriots' Day and earn a split of 4 game series
Nice change for Sox offense: 12 hits, 8 runs, 8 walks
Yes, his hits are mainly singles, but given offense's struggles, hard to keep Masa out of this lineup
Sox improve to 16-9 in Patriots' Day games this century
Is Stafanik auditioning for a revival of Melissa McCarthy's SNL "Sean Spicer" character?
Was waiting for her to say:
"Jake, its circular using of the word and that's from you."
Trump-2 is the weaponized Festivus Presidency:
Grievances and feats of strength, all day, every day.
With my own team struggling looking for upbeat stories
#Rockies beat reigning champs for second day in a row and won their 9th game of the season.
They did not win their 9th game last year until May 23rd
Granted that may say more about how bad they were last year, but big turnaround would be nice
#RedSox only able to manage 4 runs over first three games vs Tigers. Lose 6-2 on Sunday
Crochet had another sub-Crochet outing and worries starting about the Ace
Sox play one more against Tigers on Patriots Day tomorrow morning
Guess key question is:
When is it too late to say it’s still early?
In my feed right now are back-to-back posts showing the former US President and current Mayor of NYC singing with children, and the current PM of Canada serving food in celebration of Sikh Heritage Month.
There are politicians who celebrate people and understand the importance of joy.
#RedSox only able to score 2 runs over first two games against Tigers, but are 1-1 in the series
Skubal showing again today why he has won the last two AL CYAs
#CrochetDay tomorrow and hopefully the Ace bounces back strong after his last miserable start
Think this is the Steve Balboni of takes / threads. 😜
NYT’s story on the origin of Supreme Court’s ‘Shadow Docket’ reveals once again the modern “conservative” movement has little to do with the Burkean foundations of conservatism, it is a right-wing movement focused on power
Also, appears Roberts should be a registered lobbyist for the coal industry
Tonight’s #RedSox game seems like what the club envisioned for the prototypical Sox-2026 game:
Quality pitching and hope the offense can squeeze out a run or two.
Sox-Tigers 0-0 thru 6
So he’s just a stat compiler.
Hall of Fame voters are going to see right through that.
@jonathanfreedland.bsky.social probably right in analysis of Starmer Vis-à-vis Mandelson
Corollary argument:
FO made horses-for-courses argument to PM: Mandelson fit the bill of self-serving, unscrupulous bastard to deal with same in US
Gambled & lost they would not get dragged down in the filth
Unrelated, but seeing RFK Jr reminds me that today is the anniversary of the 'Diet of Worms'.
April 17th 1521: Martin Luther appeared before the Diet of Worms to respond to charges of heresy.
Opposition to Trump helping to build bridges between the Anglican and Roman Catholic Churches.
This continues and maybe Anglicans and Catholics will be able to patch-up the whole divorce / excommunication disagreement thing that happened a few centuries back and go on a reunion tour this summer. 😁
It may be that 'Dumb McNamara' is just flailing in response to the Administration's unpopularity or exhibiting the only skill (being an unrelenting lickspittle) that keeps him in the job, but history shows us where this type of anti-press rhetoric can lead (from April 1933):
Judge rules construction on the basement man cave / dungeon can continue, but work on above ground ballroom has to stop.
The Supreme Court likely to be asked to rule on whether White House HOA allows Trump to continue with his DIY project.
Republican controlled Senate voted today to allow a foreign mining company to proceed with its plans to build a copper and nickel mine in the watershed of Minnesota's Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.
An undeterred Pope Leo continues criticism of world’s “tyrants” and opportunistic blasphemers:
“Blessed are the peacemakers! But woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth.”
Also, a more appropriate title for the report would have been:
"Report of the Yale Committee on Trust in Yale"
The report is very Yale-centric and its authors are all member of the Yale community.
Suggesting a report on Yale represents all of "Higher Education" seems an avoidable own goal.
2/2
Even if Yale did not recognize it, you would like to think the NYT or other national media would have self-awareness enough to recognize that some of the same usual suspects attacking higher education have also undertaken efforts over the last 3 decades to undermine trust in the national media
1/2
Phenomenal play by Javy Báez.
This really needs an @artbutmakeitsports.bsky.social treatment.
#RedSox salvage one win in the Twin Cities and end the road trip 3-3
Good to see Connelly Early going 6 strong innings
After a 5 RBI day, Trevor Story is now top five in that category across MLB. And, he did not K today. 😀
Brooklyn Dodgers First Baseman Jackie Robinson
79 Years ago today Jackie Robinson played his first game for the Brooklyn Dodgers.
It was / is the most significant event in the history of American sports.
Dodgers beat the Boston Braves 5-3
Happy #JackieRobinsonDay
#RedSox bats go to sleep again and have another high strikeout (12) game
Twins hitter had the number of another top of the rotation starter and Sonny Gray suffers his first lose of the season.
Sox lose 6-0 and have dropped two in a row to the Twins
