QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Sep 21, 2012 -> 03:26 AM) I think they lose 3/4 against the Rays. If that's the case, then Sox are probably not making the postseason.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 21, 2012 -> 04:20 AM) Yes. If Sox win the division outright. I wouldn't give it to him if we have a one-game playoff vs. Detroit, though. Ventura seems like a lock to get 3rd place in MOY voting no matter what happens the rest of the way

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 21, 2012 -> 04:19 AM) We better somehow win two of three in Anaheim. Even that may not be good enough to not lose ground. I'll take that and deal with being one game up going into the Indians series.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Sep 21, 2012 -> 04:17 AM) Every time we lose someone says "Remember this is the game that lost us the division!" I doubt it... No game will top being up 6-0 vs the Tigers in the 6th inning with Peavy on the mound and losing 10-8 on a fly out by Viciedo that missed being a game-winning homer by 5 feet. Two game swing right there. Hard to imaging any other game that could be considered a worse loss over the course of the year. Hopefully it's a moot point.

QUOTE (The Ultimate Champion @ Sep 21, 2012 -> 04:15 AM) Every time I watch this crap this year I hear Stormin Norman shouting his 48 minutes of intensity line and it's just like some of those sleepy ass Bulls teams with the Sox., Did anyone notice how on the Rios throw out play McEwing wasn't even paying attention to what was happening? Bad decision by Alex, but for f***s sake where's the help? What is a coach there for? I also could have sworn Guthrie balked on that K to Rios bending his knee twice starting and stopping but nobody said anything about that either. With no one on base, Guthrie can do whatever he wants in the wind-up. I don't blame McEwing for the Rios out at the plate. He is at fault for the Ramirez play though.

QUOTE (Baron @ Sep 21, 2012 -> 03:11 AM) You arent the only one but if anyone on here can be labeled broken record(besides fathom) its you. HANGER, HANGER, HANGER, HANGER, HANGER, HANGER, HANGER

Last weekend in Minnesota on Friday and Sunday? I do agree with your overall sentiment though that the team is playing very sloppy and some dumb decisions are being made by the players/coaches that are having a huge impact on the end result. Plain and simple, the Sox have lost way too many games the last 2 months that they should have found a way to win.

QUOTE (kapzk @ Sep 21, 2012 -> 04:01 AM) How stupid can a manager be in a pennant race, really Ozzie would have already clinched this s*** by now. I can't wait for shack to log on tonight. If he thought last night was bad (which it wasn't), tonight's managing might cause quite the shack rant.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 21, 2012 -> 03:59 AM) Our clutch hitting wasn't that bad. It was our baserunning that was. 1-8 with RISP

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Sep 21, 2012 -> 02:56 AM) Nice 0-2 pitch with him on his toes leaning over the plate. Thanks Oakland. If we lose this division look no further than games like tonight's and last nights. Lexi getting picked off 3rd...what af***ing tool. This is one of the worst losses of the season. Absolutely no reason the game was even close tonight. Terrible clutch hitting (shocker), poor defense, walks killing the pitchers and pathetic managing.

QUOTE (Jake @ Sep 21, 2012 -> 02:54 AM) Lucky ass hit there. Oh well, not going to blame relief pitching for this

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 21, 2012 -> 02:53 AM) Hosmer .220 vs. LHP this season Righties are hitting .120 off of Crain this year.

Thanks for nothing Ventura. Just a terrible manager.

QUOTE (kapzk @ Sep 21, 2012 -> 02:51 AM) Why the hell would they intentionally walk a .233 hitter?? Cause righties destroy Crain

I swear Ventura fears Francoeur more than he does Miguel Cabrera.

Crain would have picked him off if he went over one more time.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 21, 2012 -> 03:42 AM) Do a pitch out on 0-2 Nice try

Do a pitch out on 0-2

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Sep 21, 2012 -> 03:40 AM) Think Meyers contract made this decision? Should have brought him in the 6th. No, Myers isn't going to hit the necessary games finished mark.

Yikes, not a good start. Looks like we got "everything up in the zone" Crain tonight.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Sep 21, 2012 -> 02:36 AM) In 2 of these 3 games our offense has looked anything but playoff caliber It wasn't exactly great in the first game, but at least they hit the long ball. The Sox hitting with RISP against the Royals this year has to be incredibly bad.

QUOTE (Baron @ Sep 21, 2012 -> 02:33 AM) Yeah we get it broken record Well, then you'll be happy to know ADA popped up another hanger.

Oh yay, the Multiview

Nice swings by Beckham in that AB. I can see why he was PH for against him last night

Hangers, hangers, hangers
