End games ? He celebrated after K'ing Viciedo.

 

I mean if you're perfect, wouldn't you gloat about it too ;)

As long as the Tigers win two games the rest of the season, the Sox will have to win out. Seems possible.

 

If the Tigers win just one game, the Sox only have to go 14-1 to take this thing. That's merely a .933 winning percentage, which I think we can pull off since he have yet to hit our real hot streak this season. Take a look at the Tigers' remaining schedule. It's no cakewalk and they're sure to fall apart as they're so prone to do (that one time in 2006). Our destiny is in our own hands.

 

I think as long as we show nothing but support and really get the positive mojo flowing, there's just about nothing that can stop us.

 

OK, so we didn't get it done today. But as I said above, we are still in this thing. Please, nothing but positive thoughts, people!

I'm more interested if there is going to be some post season drama.

Trust me on this...NO ONE wants to face our starting pitching come to the postseason. Can you imagine Peavy in the postseason? I'm sure there's no one that would be better in a postseason game than he would be.

There's still the wild card hopes. We will have to keep our eyes on TB and Boston.

 

Does it make me bad SOX fan that I'd actually consider rooting for Detroit to win this postseason?

Eh, as you've said, this year's AL playoffs are going to be about the offenses and that's why NOBODY wants to face us. With the power that Dunn and Rios supply in the heart of order, we have a real good shot at taking the American League pennant.

I won't root for them, as last thing we need is for that organization to gain even more momentum. Lots of things going well for them the last year or so.

Well IMO there are only 2 likable teams left in contention and they're the Angels and Rays who are on the outside looking in right now. If either of those 2 make it then I root for them, if not, then I cheer for anyone but the Red Sox.

He has been flawless I have no problem with it.

Definitely not. IF they won it all, it looks better being in 2ns place behind the WS champs.

I don't mind the Rangers, and to be honest, I have no problem rooting for Granderson and the Yankees.

Only 9 losses for the Sox when leading going into the 9th. Tigers ? 78-0.

Why has he failed so much this year?

Did you even read my post? Rookie, second year as a pitcher.

 

And failed so much?? How so?? Up to today he has 5 blown saves and ridiculous numbers. Hitters are hitting .164 off of him and he has a 1.02 WHIP. He has the second best K/9 of any closer in baseball. The guy is legit.

I can't stand the Rangers. To be honest, I've never really despised the Yankees as much as everyone else but they're still not "likable" to me. Like I said, I'm either rooting for the Angels/Rays or anyone that isn't the Red Sox.

Back below .500, where we bear down and play our best

I'm all over the Brew Crew, LOVE to see other NL central teams win when the Cubs blow.

Axelrod has good long relief stuff. I think he's here next year.

 

Tigers are damn good right now. They will be dangerous in October.

No. I will be unless Tampa gets in.

Oh ya definitely, I was just talking about the AL there. As I already said in the MLB catch all, besides whoever is playing Boston, the Brewers are my adopted team come the postseason.

I want to finish 20 games out. That would be kinda cool.

Yep. Hope the Yankees lose, hope the Phillies lose more, and REALLY hope the Red Sox lose.

Does anyone doubt that, after the Sox are officially eliminated from playoff contention, they will go on a 10-game winning streak?
