Well we've split the series so far. Let's see what happens tonight. I'd like to see us improve our lead (3.5 ahead of the Tigers). The Angels beat them 13-0 yesterday so the Tigers will likely have a bad attitude coming out today. I'm hoping for an LA & TB win along with us beatin' you guys tonight.

The odds are not quite in your favor tonight LOL. I dont know who is pitching tonight but it isnt Lester or Beckett - our 2 pretty much guaranteed losers this year.

Boston isnt back yet this year. They are still flirting with the basement, riddled with injuries, and inconsistent in both hitting and pitching. Going to need a major off season overhaul of personnel and attitudes to get back on track.

10-1 in the 7th? We need more than a little in our favor.

Told ya. As long as Lester or Beckett arent pitching, we have a fighting chance.

Ugh.......Detroit & Cleveland won too. We lost 1/2 a game. We have to win tonight to split the series which I would settle for then we're off to play the Tigers, (we need to take the series if not sweep altogether and end this long-assed road stand. Last home game was before the All Star break.) With Detroit a mere 2.5 games behind us I'd prefer the sweep. We could lose ground here and it will either make or break our year.

After that, the Twinkies at home. While MN may look like a no-brainer on paper only a fool would dismiss them. They've been able to hand our asses to us on a platter fairly readily.

I do believe, however, that Cleveland is done. They face the Orioles next and than Detroit. I think these 2 series is key for them and that it won't end well and they will sink further back. I would be surprised if they slipped behind the Royals although there is the possibility that KC will have a bit of a surge. I would have expected them to taken the series against the Mariners, which they did not do. In any case I believe that bottom of the Central is now set as is.

You guys should be able to rough up the Blue Jays but have a hill to climb with the Rangers, Tigers, and the Yankees right behind the birds. Do us a favor and handle the Tigers willya? I don't think you are going the catch the Yankees this year. At least by the books they should be able to clean out their next 2 opponants (Oakland and Seattle) before they hook up with the Red Sox.

Good luck tonight!! I hope it's at least a good game.

Well, it is going to be an exciting end of the season. I have not been on the site in awhile, but watching every Giants game. Been to one and going in September to two at the yard. Life has been busy and just haven't signed in much.

Glad to see the baseball folks have been keeping up with one another.

Calling the BoSox dysfunctional is being kind.

Ha! Someone else who knows the Red Sox as the BoSox.

Well, the Red Sox look to be conceding the season and are now reportedly embarking on garage sales and salary dumping.

They placed Adrian (would you like some cheese with that whine) Gonzalez on waivers and are in talks with the Dodgers to trade Adrian, Carl (my body is falling apart) Crawford, and Josh (do I look like a give a f*#@) Beckett for James Loney (who?) and some minor leaguers. Over 200 million is owed those 3 for the duration of their contracts.

Personally, I think they should throw in Lackey, Dice-K, and some fried clams to sweeten the deal.
