Freddie is so unpredictable maybe Oz should keep him in and he'll blank KC the rest of the way ... uh probably not.

Freddie, you ain't helping our momentum. What a horses*** effort. But nice strikeout rite there! we lead, 9-5.

what do ya think, fathom. should we relax a bit or are we still in trouble?

i mean that cleve beat oak tonight, sorry

That sucks that oak beat cleveland tonight. The Tribe still won't go away. Good thing we grabbed the moderately nice win in KC>

Nice, we gotta win every night cleveland wins. obvious but we gotta.

nice, one more

what is happening? help me out!

we better win.

are we gonna win this or are we hangin by the thread

fill me in folks we getting it done in the ninth?

nobody's b****ing so i assume we are still winning?

Everett has been a major disappointment of late.

I don't approve of 5-4 lead at this stage of the game against lowly KC

Sisco kid was a friend of mine ... not

we're giving up too many runs again with our offense. yikes. pls keep me posted on play by play. no mlb since i'm too close to kc.

i cant get game on mlb.com so please describe any key moments

If we lose tonight, we gots problems.

Nice to see the Tribe LOSE! Now do it more and more and more so we can win the division.

I agree baseball is a glorious game no matter what the result. It's just the weird way this season has gone, getting up by 15 games or whatever and seeing it dip mostly because the Indians are playing like the 57 Yankees. The spectre of blowing that lead has lingered ominously over the season a bit.

I agree anything can happen once we get there. I think tho with the Tribe's hotness coupled with our weird play of late and all our injuries, there is justified concern we make the playoffs. I think we will and hope we will but I finally can see why it aint a certainty.

Amazing. Congrats on your unforgettable day.

The Sox need to show some balls. One poster said we are all pussies. No we are not. I said after the friday night loss we'll find out if the Sox have any balls. If they want to be known as the team that blew one of the biggest leads in baseball history, then they will continue to lose. As far as Cleveland, I tip my cap to them. They just jumped on Minn tonight looking like world series champs. If they continue this sizz they will win the division. But can they win 8 of 10 the rest of the way?

OK, fathom let me call you out: who is the manager you describe? They all f*** up. They all play percentages. We're not getting good pitching and we're banged up. So we're not winning like we did earlier. We've never really hit the ball all year. It ain't Oz's fault.

Fathom, I just wonder what kind of manager would please you? It's not like Oz is re-inventing the wheel. I disagree with his playing some of the stiffs he's been playing but mostly it's been because of injuries, bad backs, etc. It does seem like we changed as a team after we built the big lead, resting a lot of guys and playing some stiffs, but it's mostly because they needed the rest with bad backs and groin woes of Pods. I would like to ask you and Jim to address my simplified version of what I believe is the key to us even holding off Cleveland, much less winning in the playoffs. I believe if Mark, Jon and Fred keep this up, we are cooked. They have to rule and we have to catch the ball. I'm assuming our offense will continue to be average at best and I'm assuming our bullpen will remain strong. I see it clear cut: The big 3 must pitch and we must catch. If not ... go ahead and call us the biggest choke since 69 cubs, even though I do not think we are choking.
