HOW SWEEP IT IS! 2.5 game lead!

[bkox]

sSWEEEEEEEEP!

[BostonRoss]

I think I'm OK with not selling...

[donaldorc]

I think it's interesting how intellectual and mature this board is. But when we win a ballgame, we return to our jubilant 12-year-old boyish selves!

[zambonir]

we shoulda bought more

[BostonRoss]

Maybe not Javy Baez, though...
