    The Sox are playing like shit

    Too many injuries to the starting pitchers, with no depth behind them. Unless Lester can pitch every 4th game or our offense turns it up, we're in trouble

    Would be Terry Francona's last stand if so. Blow an 8 game lead, with a $200 million team.... "You're outta here".

    I think they can do it

    I just love when people post in a gambling with a picture of their favorite team and then act like complete homers.

    They don't have three MVP candidates and the surprise is the red sox going in the tank more than anything

    Four game sweep is unlikely but don't forget when the yanks pulled off a five gamer to effectively end the sox season in 2006. If only manny was around to drag everyone down this year

    If rays win tomorrow Friday night will be epic.

    Nothing like having a big game and having to go to Wakefield for the W

    Rays play the yanks 2x and the jays

    Sawx play the o's 2x and the yanks

    hopefully the yanks will tank vs. the rays

    Cant wait for the next few days.

    Rays will win theirs IMO, just depends on what the Red Sox can produce.

    at this point you cannot say lackey isn't just as good an option as anyone, nobody else has done squat.

    there could very well be a tiebreaker game.

    even if the Yankees throw 2 games to Tampa, RS can win 2 over Baltimore.

    Sox pitching has been abysmal for entire September. Beckett and Lester have been average at best. 3-5 starters have been brutal. Offense has been pretty good all month. Playing with 2 hands around your throat isn't the way to win games.

    Rays have better pitching 1-5 than anybody save for the Phillies. Pitching will always keep you in it. That being said the Rays are very fortunate to be in the position they are in. They have taken advantage of the opportunity no doubt about it.

    Maddon in good position for MGR of he year if they make the playoffs.

    I am a huge Tigers fan, so I would kinda like to see Boston finish this off so we play a team that has been reeling. I like TB though, also.
