Good question, I'd have to think so.

 

 

If so....weird way to get a first hit.

Eh, I don't know about that. We'll be 5 back if we hang on and win against Boston.

 

With the way we've been playing, I don't see anything more than a split against Cleveland. If the Twins sweep, we'd now be 3 back against both Minny and Detroit while heading to Oakland/Anaheim.

 

Plus Detroit has a much easier schedule, even if they are playing poorly.

 

Well, if we only split this wknd, and then go on to struggle on the west coast, we're not going to make the playoffs. Sooner or later, we have to start winning more games than we lose.

Fielder's choice

That's a bad loss for the Twins. To be going for the sweep, and get that type of start for Silva, that's a game they have to feel like got away.

 

They also went a pathetic 3-3 against Tampa/KC.

Since we're winning big tonight and since we seem to rate Ozzie's performance as horses***

every night we lose ... would you detractors say Ozzie did a good to great job tonight??

it's ruled as a force out, no hit, on gameday, for what it's worth

If we split and Twins get swept, we'd be in the wild card lead. And Minny has to play a slightly harder schedule than Detroit.

I have a HUGE problem with Dye being left in this game. That's irresponsible by Ozzie. I love the fact he had a team meeting before this game though. Also, I think we can all say we're happy he shook the line-up up.

Yes, I thought Ozzie put out a good lineup tonight. He hasn't had to make any decisions with the bullpen so that was nice - but Ozzie did a good job tonight. I just hope the offense can produce like this consistently for the next 2 months.

dude, they aren't going to be happy until he's fired, regardless of whether or not he leads this team to another parade, they want him FIRED.

It probably should be an error on Lowell for bringing the 2nd baseman off the base.

It's been a while since this team shined on national TV in a regular season game

That couldn't be more wrong. I know he's not going to get fired, so I have to root for him to start making better decisions and using his personnel better. The only way that Ozzie isn't managing the Sox for at least the next 3 years is if he says something ignorant in the press again or he quits.

Haven't we had a great record on Fox this year?

What is the pitch count for Count?

88

 

looking at back to back CG's

 

 

they're baaaaaack

What is the pitch count for Count?

 

90

One can only hope the ninth belongs to Boone.

Amazing what a little pitching will do for ya.

Even though the bats have been great, too, it's all about our starters.

I haven't seen anything from Sweeney in the outfield that makes my heart stop. Mackowiak doesn't do anything out there that makes me feel calm.

Weird time for you to state this. I'm not a fan of this statement, as you have to score at least one run to win a game. This series should prove that one thing isn't more important than the other. We had quite a good record during the first half of the year when our offense was great, and the pitching was subpar.

Just think ... if our starters pitch like this every night the rest of the way we'll make the playoffs.

The reason the starters have pitched well this series--------------------Ozzie

The reason the Sox have 8 runs tonight-----------------------------------Ozzie

Just think ... if our starters pitch like this every night the rest of the way we'll make the playoffs.

 

What are the odds of that happening? 1000-1?

Nice, praise for Ozzie from DA!

Good job Ozz!

One can only hope the ninth belongs to Boone.

Its a shame the Red Sox have scored 5 runs this series and are going to take 2 out of 3.

ZOMG! Hermanson!!!

ZOMG! Hermanson!!!

No facial hair. Is 7 runs a big enough lead?
