Walks.

Bad time to get ice cold.

[Dibbs]

Start anytime now, boys.

[thomas35forever]

You guys have at it. I'm gonna watch the new South Park I missed while at dinner tonight.

I can see the Tiggers going on an 8 game tear from here...I'm thinking it's pretty well ovah.

Mathematically the season is still alive, but boy does it feel like the Season is over. Truly a pathetic run by the Sox.

I guess the Sox were nothing more than a Sheep in Wolve's clothing for a while.

It's going to take a miracle to build a contender out of this crap heap we have.

You figured this out 7 games before the season is over?

Fat lady?

Really really hoping I use the playoff tix I got in the mail today... but I hear Jim Mora`s voice in my head saying "Playoffs??". Tomorrow`s another day...Still hoping...

A couple of questions.
I thought our rotation was this: Sale, Peavy, Floyd, Liriano, Quintana. Is someone hurt? After all, this is crunch time, we are pitching sale 120 innings a start. We're now using a 6th starter in the deep stretch?

Viciedo has had 2 straight games in which he hit well. He's 3 for his last 6. He's 8 for his last 28 with 2 homers and 5 walks.
Wise is 0 for his last 16, and 7 for his last 35 with no homers and zero walks. it's the same story with Wise year after year: he's one of the worst hitters in baseball, and his rare hits come in bunches. The bunch has been over for 2 weeks.
Ventura benches Viciedo after a big game, Ozzie-style.
Seriously, is there some fog in the Sox Dugout and administrative office that makes people believe that Wise is a good hitter?

Can we please play our best players?

[AnkleSox]

Go Bears, I guess.

[Nelfox02]

its a strange game, but its hard to cook up a scenario now where the sox take this division still. Just 1 game back, but factor in how poorly this team is performing in all facets of the game and the remaining schedule for both teams....I just dont see it. Hope they prove me wrong

I really thought Dunn's shot in the first game would be a spark, but they just flat out stunk it up these last 2 games.....

what a shame

Let's see:

2005:
Graffanino lets a ball go through his legs. Iguchi hits a bomb off Wells.

2012:
Lillibridge throws a ball away to give us life. Sox don't take advantage.

We're really two games back right now because the Sox don't want to go to Game 163 in Detroit.

This is a choke, plain and simple.

Which has happened before around this time of year but these guys seemed more resilient than past teams. We had chances to cave earlier in the year and bounced back; that's what makes what's taking place now so disappointing..

I'll hope for the best, but expect the worst in this situation.
