Three game win streak. Astros coming to town. 

This could be an interesting week. 

They beat the Tigers.  A neutral event.

They were playing Detroit. Detroit is trbl. The Sox will be lucky to win 2 games this week or score 10 runs total. 

Houston and Cleveland will beat them up and take their lunch money.

The Tigers have the 3rd worst record in the league. 

We're just a week removed from dropping 3 of 4 against a terrible Royals squad. 

These next 7 games are going to be make or break for this team. If they can't move past Houston and Cleveland, I don't think it ever happens this year. 

So Magic 8 Ball says . . .

Loading Losing Streak

The season is resting on this week. The Sox have to get at least split against Houston. Can't let the Astros take a series on your home ballpark.

Sweeping a series is always a good thing.  The Sox have played good teams pretty well this year—seemingly okay better than against crappy teams, really.  Hope they can at least split with Houston then go in and take the series from Cleveland.

Win against the big dogs. This shit should be considered par.

No such thing as momentum against the Kitties. They weren't exactly kicking their asses.

If the Sox can call up Colas for the games against Houston and Guardians  I think a lot more of us tune in . But I'm 95% sure the Sox won't do it.

Astros reality check coming in fast

Take 3 out of 4 from Houston and the bandwagon will be back and rolling.

Sweep the Tigers, then go 2-5 vs the Astros and Guardians. Right back to .500.

Until proven otherwise, I’m thinking flavum called it two days ago

2-4 from Houston and it will roll. 

Cueto said they needed more fire. The manager said they didn't. Vaughn said they needed more fire

Seems like a lot of these guys (unsurprisingly) think La Russa is a dipshit

The Sox won’t be calling up Colas. Let’s just hope Robert plays and start there. 

I really don't know what to expect, they've let us down time after time so far this season but have yet to have a real hot streak so maybe just maybe this is the start of a nice stretch of winning baseball. 

Don't get too excited. It was the Tigers after all.

big tease.

one game behind minnesota now, jeez.

Wow, they lost again today? Can’t believe we are tied with them.

As far as this thread topic is concerned, I’ll start thinking about momentum if we win tomorrow.

They've won one game since Baldelli blew up about that blocking the plate call against the Blue Jays.
