Do you guys think Minnesota is going to steal the division in the final year of the s***dome? Are the Twins the ones who will overcome the choking Tigers?

I'm not pissed. I just don't want him to get hurt. If Detroit choked the division away and we won it, he'd be an important part of the playoff rotation. I guess until we're officially eliminated the Sox are treating the season like we have a chance. Hence Peavy.

I forgot we play the Twins 3 more. Wow. Tough sledding, indeed. What's the Sox's record since Big Jimmy left town?

Can Peavy go at least six, maybe seven innings or is this a five inning 80 pitch deal? If we are assuming we can still pull off a miracle over the choking Tigers and pesky Twins, this game will be as important as the rest and we don't need a middle reliever coming in the fifth inning. Go Peavy! Pitch six strong innings.

Nobody's calling for KW's head. At the time, Rios seemed like a good move (despite the fact a few people I know told me Rios is a cancer and lazy and will suck) because KW gave up nothing but money to get him. He's been a terrible acquisition so far and Pods is still out in cf butchering that position a couple times a week. I hate giving up so many pitchers for Peavy, ones who could have pitched this year, but he's the savior so I'll go along with everybody and applaud that move. Second guessing is stupid; I hate when people blast Oz's every move with our s*** bullpen. I'm not saying KW didn't try or wasn't doing his job. Rios still has time this season to make a splash if he's saved all his big hits for the Detroit games. Rios can shut all of the naysayers up still this season if he is a Tiger killer. One or two guys can get hot and carry a team in six games.

If we win the division it'd be arguably the biggest choke job by Detroit in modern baseball history. We still have shown no signs of sustaining anything. It's all on Detroit. Detroit would have to totally piss it away and completely choke by losing five of six against us or all six. We had our chances this season ... this ain't gonna happen.

That's what I indeed meant. Tidbits: The Royals are hot again in September. The Tigers are limping into the postseason. We'd be potentially a better representative in the playoffs. KC will be a tough opponent this weekend; believe it.

I hope we leave Gordon at third for the next 12 years. Lexi should go play winter ball just to work on his defense. I like he and Beckham at third and ss. Can't we do better than what we got at 2B? Where will Figgins play?

I hope we aren't blaming Bobby for that close call. It shoulda been an easy inning.

Ump blows it and now Bob is wild.

WTF. Why, why why?

This is getting scary.

If Lexi can improve at short we will be a little better up the middle defensively next year. But AJP doesn't throw well and isn't Getz average at 2B? Bobby nasty curve!

Good catch by Rios. He definitely glides well.

Nice single by AJP; weird that he tried for dooce. He gawn.

What did do it jayhawk mean?

Beckham is going to be such a good third baseman defensively. I think he's already well above average. s***, I'm a dumbass. I thought that was the ninth inning. I don't think I'd bring in Pena.

Gordon jumps on that first pitch; pops it up. Wonder if it was a meatball or if he was overanxious.

NO way he could have scored. Nice single.

I love scoring cheap runs.

Lexi is a keeper, but frustrating on D sometimes.

CQ is not a great hitter at this point of his career.

Jermaine is an out machine.

Very true. Oz keeps it fun. I haven't followed Sweet Lou. What's he been up to? Has he been critical or something of management?

Wow. What a heater from Matt. If you could guarantee me he had that stuff every night, I'd say bye bye Bobby.
