The screaming guy needs his mouth duct taped. Jesus.

Always seems we have to roll into Detroit on a tail end of a road trip. Hopefully they don't look as worn out/exhausted this time around.

 

With Guthrie facing the Tigers tonight there is a very good chance we will be in Detroit tomorrow w/ a 2 game lead. Hopefully Peavy can come up big for us.

Does seem Sox always finish a roadtrip with weekend series in Detroit alot!

The Tiggs could falter in September. Maybe tired from last years playoff run. Not counting on it but it could happen.

 

Wild card teams will be at a disadvantage this season however the Wildcard game Winner gets the first two games at home. That Helps a little. Little bit of a disadvantage of being the #1 seed. This year only. Being #2 seed might be where it is at.

Veal's been extremely impressive. Hey, what do you know, the lefty reliever easily gets McLouth

Hey stat lovers ... it seems to me the Sox almost always suck in 4 game series on the road. What is the Sox record in 4 game road series compared to other contenders? Except for Seattle or somewhere like that, don't the Sox always faceplant in 4game road series? A split in a 4-game road series is cause for a parade.

They just won 3 of 4 in Toronto

Flavum, this is last 4 game series on the road for the year, correct? Sox have two at home, I believe.

TB comes to Chicago for 4 the last weekend series.

 

And the Tigers

Thanks.

So that adds up to 11-17. I wonder how other teams would fare in a similar stretch. Probably just a couple games better is all. The 2-6 vs. baltimore is pretty s***ty.

2-6 vs Boston is even worse

Lol were a blast away from tying this thing.

these guys need to look at themselves in the mirror if we lose this game, AJ should be first in line

This AB has not started well

Get used to more 4-game series next year. Based on the phillies schedule I saw, there will be 19 games against the division teams, so one of those series will be 4-game.

 

There will be 11, 4-game series, including one that's 2 home/2 away against the Cubs.

Times like this I wish we had that one power bat on the bench.

Let's watch those curveballs a little longer before swinging

He called a horrible game today, just horrible. To the point I was wondering why he was pitching right to hitters tendencies

T Flow!!! Jose Lopez several years ago!!!

You have to wonder if his slump at the plate is causing him to lose his focus behind the plate. He's playing just awful baseball of late.

Ramirez just passed Konerko in RBI's.

 

Weird.

Konerko has been pathetic since that hot streak at the end of May/early June. His RBIs are sad since then.

Hope it doesn't come out later that he was concerned about his future and next contract negotiation looming in the offseason...as the reason why he's struggling now so much late in the season.

 

Would rather believe it's because Ventura pushed him too hard in the first 3-4 months and didn't give him enough time off.
