Shut down Toronto in August, so it can be done. Did ok against Boston early before getting smacked a month ago

I guess for pre-game I'll have to listen to WSD, the 108 crew and KenWo. Quite a mash-up of personalities there with the Deans of Sox Twitter

I've been listening off and on to The Sox Machine podcast, it usually bores me to tears. However, last month I started listening to the From the 108 podcast, very entertaining.

It is what it is, small or not. My thought is it's nice to have a great stuff guy like Cease at #3 no matter what the stats are. As long as he stays away from letting hitters back into the count, I love his chances.

Yeah we’ll be fine. Little to no tolerance for some crying like that before game 1 even starts.

Rodon is on the roster. Keuchel is not. Perfect moves there!

Interesting to see Mendick on there if for nothing else he hasn't seen an MLB pitch in nearly a month.

I'm refreshing twitter about every 3 minutes to see if they have news on if Abreu will play or not

I wish they’d have re-signed Jay Clam for the taxi squad just so I could say Jay Clam a few more times this year.

Jay Clam.

Surely he plays. Unless the guy is on his death bed he will be in the lineup

If he's still pretty sick, hopefully he can DH while Sheets or Vaughn plays 1st.

Mendick can play five positions, where a guy like Goodwin is limited to two and Lamb can only play corners. Obviously I'd rather have Goodwin or Lamb in a pinch hit situation but Mendick in a defensive or pinch running.

I think Goodwin is hurt. He may have made the roster otherwise.
