QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 13, 2013 -> 04:50 PM) Isn't it 62-101 now? 58-89 this year, plus finishing last year at 4-11.

Last 162 games: 62-100 But remember--we're not that far away.

Ventura will be back, won't renew after 2014, and never interview for a managerial job again.

Orioles just bit it.

If the Sox lose tomorrow, Robin Ventura will have managed his last 162 games at 62-100.

Beck- 6 innings, 6 hits, 2 runs, 1 er, 1 bb, 4 k Micah 2-4 Thompson HR Barons up 3-2, top 8.

The home and home series with the Cubs is also good for what they call "squeeze week". They pretty much need a week where they have two 2-game series and a 3-games series. It's better to use one close team than two different teams. And of course you're getting better attendance for a weekday series in May. It makes sense. Just for scheduling purposes, I wish they played the Cubs six games. Not for hype or bragging rights or anything like that, but just to keep the Sox in town more. More games in the same time zone. With season long interleague play, it would be cool once every ten years to play the Cubs on Opening Day or finish the season against them. It would be something new.

Rays are in major collapse mode. 5 teams within 2 games of the last spot.

Game 1- Bassitt vs Bradley http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?g...ox&sid=milb Barons up 3-0, 5th. Johnson 2 BB, Puckett HR

http://www.milb.com/scoreboard/index.jsp?c...mp;ymd=20130910 Great Falls may be done tonight. Engel had a good game and season.

3rd pick magic number- 15

19 days left for the 2nd wildcard. TB 78-65 - Bal 77-67 1.5 Cle 77-67 1.5 NY 77-68 2.0 KC 76-69 3.0 Could get crazy the last week, and the Sox are going to be in prime position to spoil.

It's too bad Gillaspie isn't good enough to be an everyday player. You know he tries and cares, but he's just not good enough.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Sep 10, 2013 -> 08:06 PM) I feel sorry for EJ. Yeah, I'm sure everyone involved besides the Tigers would like a mulligan. Awful game.

6-0 Cubs. Also good because it would be nice if Pittsburgh can host the wildcard game if they don't win the division.

29 pitches. Hawk is right--one pitch can change an entire game. That ump is probably going to find out he blew it and feel bad about it. Or he should. That said, Cubs up 5-0 in Cinci.

Erik Johnson home debut. Garcia is back. Miggy is mad.

Can't complain too much about the schedule. They better start praying for good April weather now. A lot of home dates, plus Colorado and Detroit. 18 home games in August. If the Sox find a way to be a good team next year, they'll need a good August again.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Sep 9, 2013 -> 09:39 PM) Sale is at 113 pitches through 8, but screw it, I'd like him at least start the 9th. He is already on 6-7 day rest each start, and has 6 Ks over the past 3 innings. Not happening.

Cubs and Twins won. 3rd pick magic number -17.

Birmingham wins 7-4. Move on to face Mobile on Wednesday in a best-of-5 championship.
