Please win the series. You need to distance yourself from that abysmal stretch and winning series is the only way to do it.

Must win game. Need to keep winning series up until the deadline.

The Yankees don't scare me in the long run, so I look at it as 3 out of 4 until the break no matter what. Lose tonight, sweep the Braves is ok too....but win tonight!

If Miguel pitches like he did last time in NY, it will be a long night. Attack the hitters, trust your defense.

Id rather just be riding a 4 game winning streak into the break personally. 47-41 is a lot more appealing than 46-42.

I don't feel confident in winning this game, thus they will win 6-1 or something close to that.

I don't think they have won more than 3 in a row since April. It's a trademark of the Ventura era.

Ever since Stone laid down the challenge for Benetti that he has to eat the ice cream helmet in 5 innings if the Sox win 4 in a row, the Sox have only gotten to 3 once I believe

Does anybody have an official Avi countdown going yet? Every day I see this, I die a little on the inside.

The all star break. Then Morneau will be activated and start at DH.

Do you think Avi will be sent down to AAA when this happens or just get less AB's?

Hopefully. Maybe he'll find something down there.

Series win tonight. Hope Gonzalez is much better tonight and the offense starts fast.

Pineda sucks but has a good fastball.

My guess? Bench.

Has a great slider according to last night's broadcast

Why the hell is Garcia playing?

Have no idea. He is worthless.

His slider is very good Avi will K easily.

Offense has been abysmal in the first inning of late.

No hitting approach at all.

Yep don't get Anderson taking two strikes. Meanwhile Abreu chases a low and away slider on the first pitch.
