MLB 2016

of course the sox have a lot of games against Tampa left who they just can't seem to beat

Hopefully they figure it out, Maybe Tampa won't be as good with all of the September callups

Double-post

yeah right, they'll put some pitcher in nobody has ever heard of before and he'll throw 8 innings of no hit ball and be their number 1 starter next year

Ya, well, we can hope it doesn't go that way

same old, same old here but my AA and AAA are in the playoffs so there's that

Patience,
with a younger core next year will be better.
It'll take a couple of years, but the phillies will be back to a championship calibre team soon.
they have too much money and too many rabid fans to wallow for too long.

We've been wallowing for a while now but they have already matched the win total from last year so hopefully that was rock bottom

the sox took 2-3 from the Jays.

left on a 9 game road trip 2 games out of first, go 6-3 and end the trip up 2 games in the division

hard to believe but the Sox have ANOTHER 10 game road trip coming up after this homestand.

11 games, 9 games and now a 10 game road trip all in the last month or so.


Who thought that was a fair schedule??

I know, someone should br fired for the schedule making... If they off this off they will be well tested for the postseason

I really think they will be in the playoffs, and win the division.

I think they have figured out the bullpen for the most part and the starters, Bucholz aside yesterday, have been consistent enough to keep it from getting taxed too much, and the hitting is more than good enough to win games for them if they get in a jam.


i can't believe it's football season and I'm still watching baseball games that matter

the sox need to go 7-4 in the next 11 against baltimore and the yankees I'll expect nothing less.

wade miley is pitching tonight for the birds, this SHOULD be an easy game to win

I thought this was funny

Eh, they can keep him

tough loss last night, ran into a great pitcher and porcello made 1 mistake.

Have to take some games from the yankees this weekend

great playoff type baseball coming for the rest of the season.

could be 3 teams from the AL east in the playoffs, i'd rather be the team waiting for the other 2 to play themselves in than having to be the team needing 1 more win to get there.

It might come down to October 2nd with the Jays and sox ending the season at fenway.

Al East is really coming in to end the season, every team8n the division has a shot

HUUUUGGGEEE!!!! WIN LAST NIGHT

Of course I went to bed after the 8th inning after watching Leon strike out looking saying well hopefully Baltimore loses.

It felt like a Yankee game of old, a meaningful one in September with an epic conclusion

The starters have been faltering a bit the last couple of weeks, at least everyone not named price or porcello.

Hopefully they get back on track. the bullpen has been great, but if you keep having 2 1/3 inning starts that won't last long.


That MAY have been the nail in the Yankees coffin, I'm sure that loss hurt as much as it helped the Sox.

Take 2 more from them out the next 3 and I'm happy, they should be able to and hope that tampa can play spoiler for the O's

I have a feeling that toronto will win some games they are better than they have been playing.

3 guys with100 RBI on the team so far, Han Ram has been smokin hot

17 more playoff games left before the playoffs

The division is theirs to lose

spoken like a true Red Sox fan

, what can I say, I've seen a few September collapses...

Sweeping our way through September, only 3 games behind the Rangers for the best record in the AL

winning the division is enough for me, they play well enough on the road.
More games at Fenway for the fans would be great, but not playing the wild card game is more important.

hanley is having a fairly good month so far, he picked the right time to see the ball well.

they need a couple of long outings from the starters this week, they have been burning up the bullpen.

Now they need to put Baltimore where they put the Yankees, in line for tee times in the beginning of October

looking to go 6-4 at least on this last loooooonnnnnnggggg road trip. yet another 10 game trip. man they have had some long ones this year

Baltimore 3-4, would be the best way to start off, but a split is more likely, 2-3 from each of the rays and yankees

8 straight, back to back 4 gm sweeps! SOX are finishing September strong!

Wow, Sox are red hot right now! The number one seed is in reach!

Tough loss, should have pulled price last night, he was not at his best and with a rested bullpen they need to pull him. Still,
I'm looking for a win tonight and then rest and line up the pitching staff for next week. They are good enough to beat any of the teams they will potentially face, whether they have home field or not.

I would like to see them get the best record, having home field and playing a team who most likely used their number 1 to get in is a big advantage, but the division is way more important than that.


OCTOBER BASEBALL IS BACK IN BEANTOWN!!!!!

They should clinch the East tonight, only 5 games left

Well, clinched the East, and still lost...

very strange events
The yankees goin crazy on the field, the sox moping off.

then they go sullenly into the plastic area slowly put on goggles and then celebrate


never seen anything like that.

Terrible ending to a game where bucholz was fantastic and there is really no excuse for losing

they played the last 3 games like a team that had nothing to accomplish,

Now the real season begins.


The red sox, like all 9 other teams not making tee times, are 0-0, they are going up against a great manager who knows how to get his team to play at their best.

I CANNOT wait until thursday.

rest up boys and be ready!!!

OCTOBER baseball is here!!!!

Yep, hopefully we start hot!

Ez wrote:

to be honest, I didn't put too much emphasis on the games they played over the weekend. there was alot going on, and even if they swept the series it would have been difficult to change their position. I would rather they just be rested and prepared to take on the Indians.


they should have the advantage with Cleveland's injuries, but you're right, they need to come out swinging and get the first game and put the pressure on Tito and the boys.

it will be interesting to see how the young'ens react to the pressure.

let's pray for some unseasonbly warm/dry weather.

the bats will struggle in the cold.

First time in 6 years that I get an October off. What is this stress-free life?

Go Cubs? ....no, I can't. I just can't.

this will be much easier when the Cubs visit Fenway for game 1 of the world series!!!!!

Except the Cubs won't be there...

Actually I tend to agree, I'm thinking the dodgers might make it through

Yep, that's who I think too, but you can't count out the Giants and Bumgarner

should be a good game tonight with the mets and syndygard.

The red sox next DH won the game for the Jays last night.

Ha, we'll see

so one team doesn't use their closer and it costs them the game, one team does use it's closer and it costs them the game.

Last night was one of the best pitching performances , from both teams, that I've seen in a long time

MADBUM ( stupid nickname but I'll use it)
Is an absolute monster.
He looks like he's barely putting any effort into pitching and is just sooooo consistent it'll drive ya crazy. wherever he wants the ball to go it goes with virtually no mistakes

I'd hate to run up against him in a do or die game.


Thor ( fitting nickname) was almost his equal last night, did his job masterfully and it certainly wasn't his fault they lost.


So far 2 excellent games to start the post season, lets hope the Sox keep that streak going with a win tonight.

I'm so pumped for October Baseball! The last ride for Papi is here!

Man it would be nice to get him the ultimate retirement gift.

I'm happy they made it to the playoffs for him, now hopefully they finish this off with 11 more wins and send him off the right way, he deserves it.

a statue with his hands raised in the air if front of fenway , retire his number and fill up his hand with rings.
