OTM Open Thread 8/9: It is Friday

Happy Friday everyone. The Red Sox got a huge performance from Chris Sale last night in a quick, 3-0 win over the Angels in the series opener. They play game two tonight. It was supposed to be David Price on the mound for the Sox, but after going to the IL he will obviously not be starting. It his place it’s going to be Brian Johnson, who takes on Jaime Barría. First pitch for that one is scheduled for 7:10 PM ET. Meanwhile, there are a couple more NFL preseason games tonight if that’s your thing and an afternoon baseball game with the A’s and White Sox playing at 3:00 PM ET. Use this space to discuss whatever you’d like. As always, just be nice to each other.
