Once again we are a playoff team, if the season ended today.
No. Still a half game, I don't really know where that puts them.

Blyleven takes offense to Pods stealing and says he should be hit in the wrist the next time they play the Sox.
Well that's stupid.

We got the Drays and Royals this week. The Tigers have the Yankees and Angels. The Twins have the Royals and Yankees.
I've been saying that this is the time for the Sox. They can make up plenty of ground even without being perfect. Unless the Tigers get hot against good teams.

This is what our hitters live for. Flood gates open and everybody plays without pressure. It's like 2001-2004 again.
This would happen almost every day if the pitchers could throw like Mark is today.

If we have a comfortable lead in the 9th I would love to see Bobby or Matt drill one of their guys with 2 outs.
With the way the pen has been, I wouldn't give any extra base runners. Good in theory though.

I like DJ's analysis of Iguchi this season. Iguchi looks like he has no energy.
Every time there's a called strike on Iguchi it looks like he's pissed at the umpire. He's in a funk.

But then we couldn't pull the ball.
Yes, that is true, and though that would ruin the entire team's approach to hitting, it might be worth a shot.
