3-2 Indians. Good thing we've been on such a good run lately, or else this could have become real close.
You got that right. When our lead was down to 6 1/2 we were panicking. Where would it be now, if the Sox didn't turn things around?

Unless we both fabricated the exact same memory I believe the chart is incorrect. I remember Wimpy getting his head shaved and on the air he said he'd do it if they won either 10 or 12 in a row. Don't remember exactly, but I know they shaved his head on the field. Don't remember what year either.
These are the Royals, but it doesn't look like they've laid down this series.
Freddy's coming off that awesome performance against Detroit that I witnessed in person. Hopefully, it carries over into tonight.
Finish 'em off!!
Unfortunately, I won't be able to make it. Had to give my tix away (Hopefully, kevin57 get them on time). Maybe next year. Have fun everyone.
Bring home another winner.
Biting my lip in ripping Ozzie. I'm sure Jenks would've handled Stairs just fine.
Thank God for Hermie, though

Paulie
Marte :puke :headshake
BTW, Detroit's "tragic" number is now "2" You want to rethink those comments, Dmitri?

I had no idea he got booed at soxfest. Thats brutal, when did he get booed? If anyone remembers.
When ESPN1000 broadcasted from there, they interviewed him. When he was introduced, you could hear the crowd boo him.
I should have rephrased my earlier statement. Right now, I have no idea if they do or don't play Milwaukee. I'll have to keep an eye out for their tentative schedules as well.
I am too disappointed they are not playing the Brewers. I went to one of the exhibitions this year at Miller Park. It's a great park and an easy drive.
In any event, this means they'll be going to the new ballparks in Cincy and Pittsburgh. I better start making my plans for next summer. I'd love to see PNC.

Welcome back, AJ
Have a night for your new little girl.
I'm no math whiz, but it seems as if two weeks from now would be a good guess for the clincher. If it comes on Monday the 19th, I'll be there!! Even sweeter because it'll be against the Indians.

Come on, it needs to be September 17th when I see the Sox play the Twins.
I don't want it to happen then. There's no TV. Or have we all had this discussion before? I forget.
Let's keep your "No walks in the past 3 starts" streak alive, Jose.
Let's keep the "Undefeated at Home v. the Royals" streak, alive, Jose.
Let's keep the winning streak alive, Jose.
Let's get the Magic number down to at least 15, Jose.
Sorry for being greedy.
Joe seems like a nice guy. I kinda felt sorry for him at Soxfest this year when people were booing him and stuff. Hopefully, he'll catch on with another team and get another chance. He was very frustrating to watch for us, though. It was either a K or HR. Hopefully, he proves himself in his limited time this final month.
I've always been a fan of Konerko, I don't think I've bashed him too much here. If he keeps it up, we might just have that feared hitter in the playoffs.
As for next year, it is a certainty that one of the Cubans will sent out to put McCarthy into the rotation. That saves some money. I don't see Everett coming back and Thomas may come back with a reduced contract. If pigs fly and Jerry opens his wallet, we'll be seeing Paulie back next year. Otherwise, there are no other options. Ross Gload's days are numbered here. I don't know how soon Rogowski will ever behere, and I just don't see Overbay coming without the Brewers asking for a lot in return.
16....and getting smaller by the day!!
Shouldn't have been that close. ( Damaso)
But still nice to see Dustin close out the game.
One more W for El Duque and all 5 starters will be in double digits.
