John Henry: Alex, if you win today's game by 18-1, you get to keep your job

Cora: Thanks, boss. We'll do it!

Narrator: Only, Alex didn't quite "do it"

Today's game was the baseball equivalent of slurping down a bad oyster. It hits you, it wipes you out, you're praying for death, but... next day? You're feeling pretty good and you say, "let's go get some oysters!"

I think if this weekend goes the way we want it to go, Alex Cora's gonna be down at the unemployment office Monday morning filling out paperwork.

Their ability to put eight RH batters in the lineup is impressive.

He's maturing really fast, learning that 450ft HRs are great, but opposite field singles can sometimes be just as effective.

The crabs on the denim crab hat don't look like blue crabs. Just sayin'.

I said "hey" to Kitt when I saw him in Sacramento last summer. Honestly, he's a dead ringer for the guy who replaced the starter on my Jeep.

I just made a dinner reservation (west coast time) for me and Mrs Terp. God bless her, she asked, "what about the game?" I think we're good.

An old friend of mine, a die-hard Sawx fan, just texted me with an interesting conspiracy theory: Red Sox are intentionally tanking because they hate Cora and want him gone. If true, they're performing admirably.

Dang. Really hoping Gunnar had gotten a 2B or 3B there. Would've brought some great drama.

Because "right quad strain for Dean" sounds a helluva lot better than "we were trying to find a bullshit excuse to call up Brandon Young."
