Huge props to this team today. As devastated as we all were last night imagine how they felt.

Damn these games are aging me and I have no years to give.

Lack of quality starting pitching finally caught up with them at the worst possible time. Last night was just an extremely painful example of it. You have an 8-2 lead in the 3rd but your starter can only go 4 leaving a tired bullpen to cover 5 innings. And even though the offense didn't score after the 3rd if your starter gives you 7 strong innings 8 runs is enough to win that game. The Sox lead the AL in runs scored. If they had any quality starting pitching they win the AL Central going away.

All Detroit can play for is ruining the Sox season and it looks like that's exactly what they are going to do.

We all saw this coming. Might be the crusher for this team.

We have all seen this movie.

This is going to be a 12-8 loss isn't it?

Don't like this at all. Can't give up more than 2 here.

I don't know but in my opinion Grichuk has earned as much playing time as anyone. Same with Peters. They are both the type of players I want on the field at crunch time. I trust them way more than B. Montgomery right now. Doyle you use in certain situations. He is very good defensively and he can run.

The reality is the playoffs have already started for the Sox. They have to play and manage all 9 of these just like that is the case. And if they do make the playoffs having to play with that pressure to just get there will definitely help them.

We need the A's to get at least one of those 3. Then Cleveland has to go to Boston for 3 where they are scheduled to face Sonny Gray and Ranger Suarez in 2 of those.

2 great plays by Vargas save us! Like I said 3 runs aren't winning this LOL. F the friggen Tigers!

He had him easy at 2nd

Watching these at bats the Sox are definitely feeling the pressure of this race.

Now add on dang it!
