Amen. No brainer here. Too bad the Cubs are so horses*** they can't win a game in the series. What a pathetic excuse for a team (and yes I realize they'll probably beat us at least one of the three we play in their crap park; maybe 2 of 3).

Jose busts off a nasty pitch there.

we need to get our bats going if Jose gets out of this with no more damage.

That will be a s*** way for Jose to possibly lose a game. On a sawed off bat type bloop.

Do you think that was Pods' fault or was it tough to read off the bat because the guy took such a massive cut?

That sucked and now the reds are running wild.

The Trib columnists and Southtown's are much more well thought out. Mariotti is a dumbass. Just as you said, whatever Oz did in this case, Mariotti would have taken the opposite stance. He is a total buffoon. Worry about Ozzie? Give me a break. At least Sox fans can see through the guy. He's humorous. I read the Trib columnists and Southtown's guy for real opinions. Moronotti ... we see through you. A baseball is a deadly weapon? WHy don't you just call Oz a guy who condones murder in your next column? He is a talented wordsmith but give me the TRIB columnist and SOUTHTOWN for real opinions; Moronotti for laughter.

I think everybody hopes this is the real Brian. As horrific as he's hit, everybody seems to want him to excel. It would be amazing if he's come around and can hit .280 the rest of the season.

Why would Milwaukee trade Lee? He's done nothing but his the s*** out of the ball for them the last 2 years?

Are we winning? Pls give me a game update in 15 words or less. much appreciated.

I wouldn't count on a sweep. Sometimes the Sox don't quite finish business against teams like the Rays and the Royals.

I don't think any loss this season will be "demoralizing" to the Sox. They are fricking world champs. Their psyche is not as fragile as some think. If we lose we lose, but not because of any one demoralizing thing. The Scrubs had something "demoralizing" happen when they lost their first baseman. One game is one game to the world champs.

I'm amazed we've kept close in the standings to Detroit as torrid as the Tigers have been. We need to ride out the Tigers' amazing streak. They could be 7 up on us if we hadn't been winning 2 of every 3 of late. Is Det gonna sweep the s*** Rays as they did that 4 game series with KC???

what's the quick summary of this game? I have no tv, no updates yet. Are we losing?

Detroit may come back down to earth but they appear to have a magical season going.

Kameron is usually off, so we better hit him tonight.

We need to win the division. So we root for Yanks. If we don't win the division, I fear we won't get the wildcard. And if we can't win the division, it's probably a dream to win it all again.

mariotti's column was awful. here the Sox have the most colorful quotable announcer ever and that dip is upset. Give me a break. Oz is a breath of fresh air!!!!! And Mariotti knows that deep down. He's just having his little war with the sox.

I don't want to start a thread on this and get blasted, but is anybody else shocked that Frank Thomas is suddenly having a good year? He's at 16 hrs and counting I believe.

I agree. Watching on TV, I loved our rally tonight in the ninth, but I couldn't help but be mad at all the runs Fred gave up earlier that cost us the game on massive home run shots. I'm still concerned because I don't think we just now developed a winning attitude. I like you think we've had it all year and the team still has some major on the field question marks.

I figure if you commit to go to a game, you are there for the long haul. Too much can happen, like tonight. Of course two hour rain delays and all that ... it might be time to leave. That's stupid to sit 3 hours waiting when you know more rain is coming, etc.

Cleveland really teed off on Freddie. I mean they were teeing off. If he really threw 92 that makes me feel better. It sure looked like he was throwing soft all night to me. Arm strength may be a problem. Is Fred hiding an injury like Cliff did?

This thread is annoying. I'm out. Good luck to Sox and BA who needs about 19 hits in a row to raise his average to about .230.

Compare some of these Tribe at bats against a struggling pitcher to those, of say, Anderson. They are just teeing off. Has BA had a swing like that all year?

Freddie right now looks like about the worst pitcher in humanity. Those are some monster monster shots. Wow. If it's his arm, please shut him down and let McCarthy pitch.
