Silver lining: The Astros lost so the magic number for best record is down to 7.

Several posters will be relieved, if the Sox make progress on the clinch in the next 2 days. On the other hand, if they don't ... Wow. This Red Sox team is going to win more games than any other in franchise history, has been cleanly in first place for the vast majority of the season, remains 9.5 games up, is going to finish with the best record in baseball, win a third straight division title and has as good a chance as (if not better than) anyone to win a WS - and a notable portion of the fan base has spent the entire season panicking or worrying about the NYY. It amazes me, if you can't enjoy this season than... They're going to be the top seed in the MLB, well deserved. As always in baseball, it will come down to getting hot at the right time. It's certainly fair to have rational concerns about whether Boston will be the hot team - but getting angst from a loss that drops them to 101-47 (one that featured Sundergaard vs. the Paw Sox pitching staff, no less) is a bit much...

But yeah, 9.5 games up with only 14 games left is so scary. I'm barely sleeping at night. I guess i'll have to repeat the company line that the Sox are likely to clinch next weekend, which puts them in Cleveland. I don't think the Tito angle is interesting. Fans would rather see them do it in Yankee Stadium.

Fans would rather see them do it in Yankee Stadium. I honestly do not care whatsoever about which team they clinch against. I don't know why anyone else cares that much. It's inevitable that they do. Bring on the playoffs. The first pitch of the first playoff game is 1000 times more important than clinching in Yankee Stadium. I don't even know what your angle is on this stuff. Did you think they were going to blow it? Or do you think it matters a whole lot what team they clinch against and that they need to play every game like it's their last just so they clinch against the Yankees? Why do you keep bringing this up? Since you started bringing it up, the lead has increased by 2 games and they've gone 7-3 while supposedly punting all these games. What exactly is the concern or criticism? This was always the way the regular season was going to end. What the hell is the company line other than we're waiting for the playoff to start and hope that everyone is rested, healthy, and not too rusty?

The Mets fans in RF are annoying. Your team is awful. Why bother?

Magic #s: 6 to clinch ALEast,7 to clinch home field through AL playoffs and 1 to claim homefield in World Seris

Nice seeing Devers hit the ball 112 mph on that error.

Wow, the Dodgers made a statement against the Cardinals. They were tied for the 2nd wild card position and beat them 17-4 in St. Louis. Puig with 3 HR.

I'd just love to see our offense click, instead of sputter.

I'd just love to see our offense click, instead of sputter. The production from the first half to the second half by anyone not named JBJ, JDM, and Mookie has been mediocre to bad. Leon hasn't had a hit in weeks. Benintendi isn't slugging all that much. Devers has disappeared. Moreland has turned into one of the worst hitters in baseball in the second half. The Sox are going to need more guys to get going. JDM and Mookie can't do it by themselves this postseason.

The Astros lead the league in run differential. Oh no, we're dooooooomed. The Red Sox are awful. Betchya can't wait to be right and tell us you were right if they don't win the WS, even though there is absolutely nothing that can ever be done to guarantee anything in a short series.
