White Sox watch: I knew they were bad, but I didn't realize they were this bad. The Southsiders are 27-78 -- that's a robust .257 winning percentage -- and this is before they start dealing their better players this week. They could end up being a 45-to-50 win team!

Yanx and Sawx trading punches in Fenway

Sox led 1-0 after one
Yanx tied it in the 2nd
Sox went up 3-1
Yanx again tied it in top 5
Soc scored in bottom 5
Yanx put up a 4-spot in top 7 (Judge went 470' w/2 on)
So counter with 2

7-6 Yanx to start the 8th

Mets win, Braves lose, and Yankees lose. Triple Happiness!!!
When did the choices get so hard
With so much more at stake
Life gets mighty precious

The definition of Triple Happiness seems to shift from year to year, but Mets win and Yankees lose will always be the two predominant pillars of the trilogy.

They're at it again: Sawx are up on the Yanx 5 - 4 after two

The game has already featured 9 Runs on 11 Hits, 4 HRs, 5 XBHs, 1 error, and a DP where the Yanx picked a runner off third base following a FO to CF (8-4-5)
when he was talking to his coach but was inexplicably standing a foot off the base while doing so and not watching the incoming throw(s).
FOX missed that odd play entirely because the booth was talking to Matt Damon and Casey Affleck about their new feature.

Sox pull ahead 8-6.

Oswaldo Cabrera is at third for the Yankees, and has hit a homer, so D.J. Lemaihieu seems to be out of the lineup even before the Jazz Age begins.

Elsewhere today:
- Tampa scored twice in the 8th to beat Cincy 2-1
- Orioles finally beat the Padres after two straight losses
- Phils lost to Cleveland, making it two of three for the Guardians in a matchup of 1st place teams
- Cards beat Nats

Yanx & Sawx are the Sunday Night Game ... no, really, they are!!!
And in that back and forth Saturday night game, the Yanx tied it up with 2 outs/2-strikes in the 9th of Kenley Jansen.
Sox were blanked in bottom 9 and then again in bottom 10th after NYY scored three in top 10
Very depressing ending.
