Bobby gave up the f***ing hit. There's plenty of blame to go around. Boone abused Bobby.

Bobby's too young for prime time. f***ing amazing

boone is a f***ing stud; get him out somehow!!!

Cmon Sox get out of this jam.

Good point chsoxfan ... Cotts can't be the scapegoat. He has to pitch well.

The fact we are at home should be ultra important tonight. But will it be?

Is this another game where Freddie let us down? We got four runs. The fans are cheering him so perhaps the fact he showed some guts after getting behind 4-0 was impressive.

I don't have a good feeling about this game. We needed to take the lead and haven't. That runner standing on third in Dye was mighty close to home to strand.

I'm past caring what others say. We've been blowing it for weeks now and he ain't the only one saying we're toast. We have to show some balls and squeak out a win tonight somehow.

Wear you cap backwards this time, 56. Good luck and have fun.

Can you blame them for not getting "fired up" for a series against the pushing 100 losses Royals?? Yes I can blame them. The Indians did what a superior team does against an inferior team, brush the crap Royals away like a fly on a sweater. Game two was close, but the Tribe never was in danger. The Sox, meanwhile, lost one game at home to KC and two at KC before about 25 fans total in the stands. This in the midst of all Soxdom lamenting one of the biggest choke jobs in history. Yes I expected the Sox to win all those games. They were very very important. The Sox knew full well Cleveland was (is) on fire, so yes I see the losses to KC; compared with Cleveland's massacre of KC as discouraging.

Amen tony. Just saw on ESPN sports center the Sox are 90-58. That is simply amazing a team with that kind of record could ultimately be considered one of the biggest choke teams in history if not the biggest. It just goes to show what a wild sport baseball really is. 90-58 and we are close to being laughingstocks. GO SOX, BEAT CLEVE!

I am too superstitious to predict right now.

I don't like mathematics this time of year. We just have to play good baseball and pitch well cause it appears our hitting may not be comin' back.

I will be there in attendance, and I hope to see a loud,packed house full of Sox fans. Good deal, Tony; try to get the lards off their asses and cheer LOUD with you! GO SOX!

Hopefully we'll pitch well and bang out enough hits. Amazing, isn't it, that Cleveland kicked the living s*** out of the Royals as everybody on Sox talk knew they would after we lost 2 of 3 in KC. That is not a very good sign entering this series, not a good sign at all. GO SOX!

Everett was a vital cog early when we were cruising to wins every night. Remember some pundits thought it was a shame Frank was returning when he did if it would take any at bats from Everett. He's sucked of late. I've never really been a fan of the guy, but if he can help us hold off the assholes then he'll be one of my favorites. Everett needs to kick ass this series somehow. I wish the guys would just stroke the baseball vs. Cleveland's good pitching and not try to jack 'em all out.

We do deserve the mocking we'll get. The players deserve blame as does KW for not making a deal or 2. At the time I agreed with KW to not break up the team at all. My applause to you guys and/or girls on here who wanted us to make a deal before the deadline. How did you know it's what we needed? I thought for sure we had the team that was gonna pull a Cardinals and run away with the division maybe even for years to come.

Great Greg Couch column on Sun Times website. I think he says it all in there. I liked this line: This team is based entirely on starting pitching. Nothing more. And the starting pitchers aren't doing it anymore. Buehrle has lost it. Jon Garland has lost it. Freddy Garcia has lost it so bad that Guillen asked him if he was hurt. I think he's right; he captured how I've been looking at the calendar watching the days pass and our lead drop.

He'll be starting in the playoffs if we trade him to Cleveland. Couldn't resist the joke in these desperate times.

The free fall continues. We are likely not going to make it. Whether we get compared to the 69 Cubs, historians will have to decide if we were not that good a team to begin with. It's all up to our pitching cause we can't hit.

How can anyone not feel good about a 17 game season and being given a 4.5 game head start, and playing your closest competitor 6 times? I love the optimism, but there are many reasons I don't feel good about the 17 game season and 4.5 game lead right now. If tonight is a start of our return to excellence ... great, but there is good reason for concern! GO SOX!

Pods has to play; it's that simple. The other options are not good.

No question our formula is when we get dominant pitching and defense we usually win (first half formula). Though tonight we may have lucked out a bit. Hopefully the luck will start to turn.
