QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 22, 2005 -> 02:09 AM) The lead is 2.5. We play 2 crappy teams, then Cleveland. If they gain a game a series (really a game 1/2 in one) they would only tie us. So if they want to win the division they pretty much avhe to win 6 out of 7, then at least 2/3./ I think the Indians will lose 3 more games, at the most, this season. They're just on a sensational run. It was obvious this series that their offense is just so much more focused at the plate than the Sox. I'm just grateful we won last night.

QUOTE(Felix @ Sep 22, 2005 -> 02:08 AM) Ozzie will be bashed anytime the Sox lose. Agreed. I think a lot of people have finally been pushed over the ledge when it comes to stop supporting him.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 22, 2005 -> 02:06 AM) My good man Ozzie. WTF was that. So we bring in Marte with a one run lead to face Hafner, but don't have the confidence in him when we're down 2? I'm not saying it's the worst decision Ozzie has made this series, but I have a feeling he's going to get bashed for letting Garland face Hafner.

This is in no way a reaction to what just happened, but I'm fairly confident the Indians will win the AL Central due to their easy schedule. They're playing at such a high level now. The Wild Card is a much more likely scenario, IMO.

Haha, what a joke.

QUOTE(winninguglyin83 @ Sep 22, 2005 -> 02:03 AM) if tampa wins that puts the Yankees ahead by .5 in the East, right? and it would reduce our magic number for the wildcard to 8 Don't forget this...either the Red Sox or Yanks are guaranteed to lose another 2 games this season.

These Indians hitters do a very good job at not getting themselves out.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 22, 2005 -> 02:02 AM) If we can win both the next series, I think we'll win the division and be a shoe-in for the playoffs. To win both series, we'd have to go 6-2. Considering we face Johan tomorrow, I'll be content with 5-3.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 22, 2005 -> 01:58 AM) Boston now losing. WC lead could be 3.5 From what I was told by someone, the magic number vs the Yanks and Red Sox was the same for the Sox coming into tonight.

Yankees win. Be strong Baez!

QUOTE(WSoxMatt @ Sep 22, 2005 -> 01:57 AM) TB LEADS 5-4!!! J. Gomes is a f***ing stud! Here's an idea....don't pitch to Ortiz if he bats in the 9th.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 22, 2005 -> 01:55 AM) We've had 3 innings where we could have had big innings, but we just hit the ball right at people. That's how you have a shutout. It's not like they're not trying hard. I know we're complete opposites in terms of how we look at things, but I think you're going to have a hard time convincing people we hit into a lot of bad luck tonight. Yes, there's been some hard hit balls that were caught. However, if you only hit like 5 balls solid all night, you're going to struggle.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 22, 2005 -> 01:53 AM) Just can't find a hole. Hard to find a lot of holes when you keep popping up

SSI....How's Greg Walker's job secruity looking now?

How are people not booing this s***?

This is f***ing disgusting.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Sep 22, 2005 -> 01:47 AM) If the offense pisses away that momentum I might just have to pound the hell out of something with my other hand Don't break a hand, break a finger. With a little over 10 games left in the season, you're going to need everyone one of those fingers.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 22, 2005 -> 01:46 AM) Well if that doesn't give us MO, nothing will. Wait, we just acquired Mo Vaughn? f*** yeah, he can be our number 3 hitter.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Sep 22, 2005 -> 01:45 AM) Ozzie never had the infield in last night...? But he should have in the ninth.

Big pitch by Garland. He avoided the killer blow that inning.

QUOTE(winninguglyin83 @ Sep 22, 2005 -> 01:44 AM) jonny needs to pitch out of this to have ANY chance to win 20, which seemed like a lock when he was 8-0 No offense to you, but I hope that this year has taught all Sox fans there's no such thing as "a lock" in sports.

QUOTE(soxman352000 @ Sep 22, 2005 -> 01:43 AM) Boone has a 2-0 count. i have a bad vibe Don't worry, Harold woke up just in time to tell Ozzie to walk him once it got to 3-0.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 22, 2005 -> 01:41 AM) Wow see what happens when you go with the pitch instead of perpetually try to pull it like our dumbf*** hitters. They're not facing Cy Elarton though

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Sep 22, 2005 -> 01:41 AM) Double, 2nd and 3rd - 0 out I coulda sworn last nights game would give us some momentum Wouldn't it just be so typical of the Sox teams from the past 5 years to come out flat after a big win?

Another hit, and it's a 2.5 lead again with a 3 game wild card lead.
