To be clear, I am not a White Sox fan, I'm just staring at awe at this potentially historic awfulness.
Of course they get their revenge by beating the Yankees by 10 tonight.
I will not be surprised if Judge goes 8-14 this series and the Yankees get swept.
With Stanton back I thought the Yankees might start winning again.
Mookie back and homered for the Dodgers yesterday

who needs him when you've got Juan Soto, apparently!
EDIT: Oh for f*ck's sake, 2nd and 3rd with 0 out in the bottom of the 9th and the Yankees are only up 3.
EDIT v2: Oh thank God.
4 runs on 3hrs tells you all you need to know about the not Soto/Judge Yankees offense right now. Which is weird because they are second in the league in runs scored, but Judge and Soto are responsible for nearly a third of those.
After today Judge is batting.500 in August. If April didn't happen he'd have a real shot at batting over. 400 this season
What?
Love what he says about DH if you replace pitcher before the 6th. That sounds like a balanced way to do this rather than a minimum req.
genuinely suspect that if aaron Judge stopped right now, he'd still win AL MVP.
As a longsuffering Orioles fan, I am not used to these last couple years where we actually lead the division. Also, I am not terribly optimistic about our postseason prospects considering how poorly we have been playing since the All Star break. Smart money is on us making the playoffs, but smarter money is on an early exit.
Danny Jansen could make history by playing for Red Sox and Blue Jays in the same game
By far the most baseball baseball story I've read in a long time

Right on time, they get walked off by the Mets.
I don't think the fans of ANY team in the AL East have any faith in their team.
Last year, the Yankees had one competent hitter (Judge).
Now, they have two.
Only the two, but still! Two!
From Sarah Langs:
Shohei Ohtani has 39 HR & 37 SB
this is his 122nd game
if you were wondering…
games played to reach 40-40 club:
2006 Alfonso Soriano: 147
1988 Jose Canseco: 151
2023 Ronald Acuña Jr.: 152
1998 Alex Rodriguez: 153
1996 Barry Bonds: 158
That was on the 18th. He's now at 39 HR & 38 SB.
He's gonna do 40/40 in under 130 games, and has a shot at 50/50.
Mechagodzilla?

The Mets did it to em' again.

This has gotten profoundly stupid.
lol
Current batting avg would have won him the triple crown 2 years ago.
Adding a Soto fun fact: before his bases clearing double today, his previous 8 hits were all home runs.

He's done it again.
I'm almost bored. Almost.
BOSTON -- The start of Monday’s continuation of a suspended game between the Red Sox and Blue Jays will be history-making.
Toronto’s Danny Jansen was at the plate on June 26 at Fenway Park in the top of the second with one out and the count 0-1 when play was halted by rain.
A month later, Jansen was traded to the Red Sox.
So not only will the continuation on Monday at 2:05 ET start with the Blue Jays sending up a pinch-hitter for Jansen, but Red Sox manager Alex Cora confirmed Friday that he will put Jansen in behind the plate to replace Reese McGuire.
The same McGuire who was designated for assignment and eventually outrighted to Triple-A Worcester as a corresponding roster move for the Red Sox acquiring Jansen.
Once all this happens, Jansen will become the first player in Major League history to appear in the same game for both teams.
He will catch the at bat that he himself started and must be pinch-hit for.

I was rooting for you, Seattle. You've let me down.

You have GOT to be f*cking kidding me with this shit.

ha did you watch the whole game?
I stayed up for Ohtani walk off grand slam. Then saw Seattle was in extras so stayed up a little more. Great baseball last night

I did not, but in my defense, this was more of a "you were playing well, now you're five games back of the division lead" statement.

coach fired, let's see if that fires them up. Their offense has been historically bad.
