So the Sox are 6.5 back. But I’m happy that Theo didn’t make a blockbuster deal at the trade deadline if it would’ve meant giving up prospects. This team might get on a hot streak and bust out despite its serious bad luck with injuries, but not worth selling the farm for.
In personal baseball news, I’ve joined SABR’s Mid-Atlantic Chaper, to indulge my baseball geekiness. Also met with fellow baseball fan and DJ Benny C. Now to catch a Nationals game. It’s really amazing what effect Strasburg has had on this city. Nationals gear everywhere. It reminds one of… Boston in Pedro’s heyday.
