Well, then I'm getting him mixed up with KC, with whom he has a 21.00 ERA against, or something in that neighborhood.

\nervously waits for laugh track... For 4 months they were better than Detroit and couldn't maintain that when it mattered, that's what rubs me the wrong way. |

It'd be one thing if the Tigers got red hot and just passed us, as a lot of people sort of expected for most of the summer. There's not much you can do when another team just clicks into 5th gear. Sometimes, **** happens. But they're pissing away the division to a team that's going to win a max of what? 86 games this year? That's what so disheartening about this. Detroit's been begging the Sox to take the Central all summer and they never did. Our playoff odds have dropped over 50% since Monday's win. What a ****ing week. http://www.baseballprospectus.com/odds/ |

My gut told me that they would turn this thing around when they came home .. i just wish that my gut would keep it's big mouth shut! .. I have been expecting us and the tigers to change places in 1st for the last 2 months, but it didn't happen .. now we seem to be in a bad spot here, so let's see .. we have to play a 4 spot with the hottest team in baseball right now, while the tigers are playing the royals (who seem to be showing their true colors) and the twins (one of the worst teams in the AL) .. there's optimism and then there's facing ****ing reality, and reality is indeed rearing it's ugly head at me .. i've gone from looking forward to watching to dreading it .. during last nights game it occurred to me, are these guys just out of gas, have they truly just given up, or were they, in reality, never all that good to begin with, but i just never saw it .. anyway, i think that they will all just be relieved when the season is finally over ..

This and that:
I found it very ironic that Peavy is quoted in the papers today talking about how he likes the Sox chances in the post season the day after they drop out of first, have lost seven of eight and are free falling. He gets his chance tonight to beat someone not named Minnesota at least... The Sox are 8-for-65 over the last nine games with runners in scoring position. When the heat's on they can't get it done apparently. I was contacted last night by reporter Michael Puente of WBEZ radio (Chicago NPR) he is interviewing me this morning as part of a piece they are doing on the Sox attendance issues. It's cool that he asked but I wish it was for a more positive subject. Nothing to do but play it out and hope for the best. The Sox put themselves in this position, now they not only have to win, but Detroit has to lose. Scherzer by the way is having his start skipped tomorrow according to ESPN.com Lip |

That's why I referred to this as a "choke." Detroit isn't winning the division so much as the Sox are losing it. But really, what does it matter what people call it? Slump, choke, collapse, whatever, the moral of the story is the Sox let a three-game lead slip away in a week and now they're in deep ****.

It's all for naught without the playoffs, says Coop.

Well said Coop. By the way, you may be picking up your pink slip if things don't turn around.

Surprised Coop has time to talk when he needs to be busy getting Brian Omogrosso prepared for a third consecutive appearance.
