I'm not talking about this game. This division race is not over yet. I'm thinking longer term. I get you. I'm also uncomfortable. I also know that the team is in a bit of a funk right now and that stuff happens. We looked unbeatable for most of the season. I'm not going to disconsider that after a rough series against the Rays and 6 innings against the White Sox.

And what team doesn't have problems? The Yankees are losing 5-4 to the Tigers right now. The key words there are "right now." Everybody, just ignore the storm clouds on the horizon. It hasn't rained in awhile. What could possibly happen? I've been following this franchise for 62 years now. I know when they are on fumes, and this team is running on fumes and ace bandages right now. Man you must have the nicest apocalypse bunker.

I'm not sure exactly why a slump is the new normal.

Not good enough, Mr Porcello. 5 innings. 4 runs. Nearly 100 pitches. Really?
He's laid a big egg in 4 of his last 5 starts. No longer alternating the great with the not great.

Everyone has their right to think what they want......but I can truthfully say.........I ain't worried.

Considering how bad the first two innings were, that counts as "nutting it up". He saved us from having today's outing costing us anything tomorrow.

He doesn't have the FB he used to have, but Workman is becoming crafty - he works fast, is typically really efficient. Nice way to clean up that inning.

OK, I missed the fist 4 innings, so I just realized Holt is playing first. That is not proper. Cora should only play Holt over Pearce at first, if Pearce has a broken bone.

I think the Sox are going to come back and win this game.
I think that they are 92-42 and still the same team.
I think they are going to right the ship and win a WS!!
Name a team that isn't a bit banged up and tired.
Name a team with a Chris Sale coming back ready for the post season.

Giolito has been filthy tonight and throwing every pitch type for a strike.

Nunez cracks me up - everything is fair game - from a front of the plate bounce to a foot over his head....not quite what you want when we are looking for baserunners, though

Sandy goes ice cold, but Swihart is HOT! Getting Vazquez back will be helpful.

the one thing this team has been missing lately with any regularity, it seems, is the long ball. We need it now.

Life is hard and difficult to say the least. Boston sports is fun and should be nothing but fun, optimism and positivity!! When it comes to sports I only get up I never get down! It is the ultimate entertainment and distraction from every day life.
