OM gosh three homers in a row again?

The headlines should be Ass Kicking Completed in Wrigley.

Chisoxfan some do listen to ourselves. We are getting swept by the Cubs and playing like s***. The big picture doesn't matter at this time at least to me. We have been embarrassed in every game of this series and are on the way to a ninth straight road loss.

If we play like this in the Cell next weekend I wonder if the boobirds will be out. We suck, at least we do this weekend.

We're rapidly becoming a lousy road team.

I thought the AL was way better than the NL; I hoped that might count for a couple wins this lost weekend.

Swing at the ball and you might hit it, Swish. Strike three.

Wise was not wise in getting in OC's way there. Could have been a headache for both.

Nice throw. Too bad it's not a scoreless game. 2-0 is not good.

stolen base is coming. When's the last time AJ threw somebody out?

Why do we suck on the road suddenly if this is really considered the road?

Anybody getting frustrated yet?

A gapper would be nice.

Nutting but weak grounders with men on base.

Losing is growing old. Lets move the runner, AJP.

I'm worried about the Thome thing. I mean I have a real premonition he's gonna butcher it at first and give the critics one more thing to bury Oz on as well as cost us any chance of winning.

Whose idea was it to make Dumpster a starter, lou or their GM? As much as I like Oz, Lou might be the best in baseball history.

Some of your posts made me feel better. Added some sanity to my despair figuring we're going to get swept.

You posters who know your stats, you know who you are. How does this pitching matchup shape up? Is Vas capable of shutting down these assholes on Sunday night? Can we hit Dumpster?

Yeah we'll have our chance at redemption if we win all 3 games. The odds of that will be slim if they sweep us. You may not care bout bragging rights Tony, but believe it some of us do. Why wouldn't we? We're Sox fans. They are the f***ing Cubs.

It's not a must win chw. The season is a marathon. If we keep playing like this on the road, we're going nowhere anyway.

True Rock, but you have no other feelings about the series and the finale?

I don't know why you want us to get over it. Losing to the Cubs sucks. If we'd have beaten them Friday and they continued reeling after the Rays kicked their ass, maybe they wouldn't be the best team in baseball for long. Now they've completely forgotten the Rays' series where they looked far from the best team in baseball.

That really is good stuff. Thanks. That did lighten the mood for me. I love Oz. I am in favor of giving him a lifetime contract.

In answer to your comments: 1. It's on ESPN, it's nationally televised. The Sox's reputation to the nation is on the line. -- Who cares? National TV ain't what it used to be. Some people will watch, some won't. 2. If the Twins continue to bull doze the D'Backs, we might only be 1.5 games up going out west. -- I don't fear the Twins at all, though they and their manager and GM deserve credit for the fact that team never sucks. 3. A loss tomorrow will either mean our offense stunk it up, our bullpen faltered, or Javier Vazquez didn't have it. The first one is not surprising, but the latter could have me worried about our rotation. -- I would agree our rotation is a concern but all fans are concerned about their own team's starting pitching. 4. Detroit is creeping up on us. -- That is my main concern. Detroit is the best team in our division. AS FAR AS WHAT IS AT STAKE IMO: -- I personally want to beat the Cubs when we play them. If we go 0-3 we have to win all three at the Cell to tie them. -- Last year didn't we go in the tank after the Cubs disposed of us? I sort of fear that. -- Pride is at stake. Some on here don't care apparently that this series is any different than one against Pitt. One win of three would at least be something. Getting swept is very embarrassing. -- We are starting to suck balls on the road. Really suck on the road. Another loss will continue that trend. MY PREDICTION: Jimmy plays 1B and commits a costly error. Oz gets crucified again. Our offense does not fare well and we lose 5-1 or 6-1 in a fairly dull game. Hope I'm wrong and Thome hits a couple bombs.
