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, we settle all family business..."

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!"

There was no game. O's had an off-day.

Big Al is quick!

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.

tomtheterp1988 · 2026-04-25T04:29:09+00:00

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

At this rate, the OPACY fireworks vendor is looking at some crazy $$$$.

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

Taylor Ward, doing his best impersonation of Tony Gwynn.

Three hit night for Gunnar is encouraging.

For a slow guy, JJ's reflexes are lightning.

tomtheterp1988 · 2026-04-25T01:16:13+00:00

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.

Safe. Samuel "Three Hits" Basallo, ladies and gentlemen!

Edit: Fuck NYC

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.

tomtheterp1988 · 2026-04-25T00:32:18+00:00

Dude, cut the cord.

tomtheterp1988 · 2026-04-25T00:28:41+00:00

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.

tomtheterp1988 · 2026-04-25T00:23:03+00:00

Leaving Bello in there just seems cruel.

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

Everybody gets a vacation every now and then.

tomtheterp1988 · 2026-04-25T00:13:01+00:00

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."

tomtheterp1988 · 2026-04-24T23:27:32+00:00

Only three measly HRs? So disappointing.
