Series 11: SOX vs TWINS
The Sox have been knocked down like bowling pins,
taking things hard on our collective chins,
but we’ve no sob-stories, or violins
offering sympathy. Though we’ve seen fins
we’re survived, kept afloat, and put up wins.
Keep your Clark Gables and your Errol Flynns:
big name performers with heroic grins.
We’re up-and-comers and never-have-beens,
scrappy stand-byers and part time fill-ins.
We wear red letters, accepting our sins,
aiming for better like ten Hester Prynnes.
“Sox can’t compete” was the weakest of spins.
We toppled Giants. A new fight begins.
Practically tied by the thinnest of skins.
Let’s go separate ourselves from the Twins.

Didn't know Dominic Smith had been dealing with teniditis in his wrist for years before the hamate broke in January. Might explain how far his HH%'s have fallen.

I’m hearing that the Twinkies don’t even have tv coverage this year? Is that true?
And is Buxton injured yet again?

Lots of teams don’t. If your team is on Bally and you have Comcast you’re fucked. Same story here in Detroit.
